Linda went home today, after a brief visit here in Bethesda. I feel like my best friend has been abducted and taken away in a space ship. Well, I guess an airplane is close enough.... Jason and I will miss her very much, as well the girls, though both Stacy and Jackie were a little confused when I told them that I was going to be staying. Right now they are both pretty confused about what is going on, so I hope we can all work together to bring some stability to their lives - I know that is what Jason wants.

Jason was up for a large portion of the day today, and I don't think that is a good thing right now. The problem is that there are many things he needs to get taken care of, and can not do it from his bed. I did my best to make sure he was relaxed and when I finally did get him to stay put in his bed he went to sleep. Actually, he took a shower and I dd a dressing change and then he laid back. It was about 17:30 (5:30pm) when he laid down and then shortly afterward went to sleep. He has some appointments tomorrow and I am anxious to speak with the doctors about his healing plan. There are a couple of things I need to bring to their attention, and then find out what their thoughts are. This could have an influence on how long we remain in Bethesda, and how soon we can get back to San Diego.

Take care and stay positive and thank you, all for all your continued prayers and support

    Go get 'em! If anyone can get Jason the help he needs it's you!
    Praying right now!
    Romans 8:35, 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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...
