Just a quick note about today, since it is getting way past my bed time... Jason was having some difficulties, off and on for most of the day, and then right after dinner he really started to feel poorly. His temp went up and he was very uncomfortable. He fear was that it was another infection so he wanted to get in to ER. They did some checking and ran some test and nothing was found. His pain came back under control and we were told to go back home, as long as Jason was feeling well enough to do so - and he did. We just need to check back in on Monday, to find out about the other lab tests, the ones that take several hours to complete. I think Jason was relieved to be able to get back home, and I know I was. I just hope he has a better day tomorrow (today?).

Thank you, for all your prayers and continued support. Oh, and one more thing... while we were waiting in the ER, I was able to finish the book by Bob Hamer, Targets Down - I recommend it. I had a hard time putting it down.

    I went to bed late and there was no blog so I worried that something had happened. Sure enough, I was right. I'm so sorry to hear of the pain and discomfort issue. Jason, I'm about ready to kick this infections arse!! I hope you are starting to feel better. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe you can get a little sunshine and fresh air if you are feeling up to it. I'm praying for you, Jason.

    All my best,

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....

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh...
