June 17, 2012 - Father's Day

Got up this morning and Linda made breakfast for all of us, and it was really good. We did a few things around the house and at about noon Bridgette came over to the house, from her place. We spoke briefly with Jason and decided it was a good time for us to do a little exploring around San Diego, so he and Bridgette could get a little time together. While we were out we came across Anthony Netto and Jim and they were just going to lunch, and asked us if we would like to join them, so we did. Anthony had just gotten back from Michigan, where it was working with another group, and it seems there is some interest there for the ParaGolfer, so it was a good trip for him. After lunch we called Jason and asked about what time we should plan on getting back over to the house and he said stay out until 21:00 (9pm) so we did.

Tomorrow we will be heading over to the hospital  to touch base with the medical team, and then head off to the hyperbaric chamber at UCSD Medical Center for Jason's first dive (that's what they call it). After we get back home to get Jason back to his room and bed, we will need to make ready for our trip back up to Los Angeles to go see David and Miriam, as they get ready to have their new baby. We'll (Linda and I - Sean and George are going t be flying back to the SF Bay Area tomorrow, just prior to us leaving) be staying with them for a few days, and then Linda will need to get back down to the San Diego airport to fly back home. I may be posting another post tomorrow, and then after that I'm not sure what will be happening, so don't be surprised if you don't hear from us for a few days.

Thank you, for all your prayers and continued support.

    Praying hard that all goes well tomorrow! And praying for safe travels!
    Psalms 36:5-7 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

    When things get bad, Christ is our Rock! Praying!
    Psalms 62:1-2 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

    What a blessing to know we can pour out our heart to the Lord!
    Psalms 62:5-8 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next.&quo
