Well, as a quick follow up to yesterday's rant about not having a bed - we made it through the night. I had some cushions on the ground and we slept okay. I went back to the Marines, and actually the Lead RCC and asked him why we didn't get a bed. He apologized, as did another RCC and they came up with the idea that I should just go out and purchase an inflatable mattress and then they would reimburse me for the expense. I did that, and now we have a place to sleep that is better than on the floor. Also bought sheets, just to make sure it was comfortable.  BTW - the RCCs are both civilian, as the Marines had little to do with this.

Jason had a good day, though Mike (PT) didn't come in today. He had to pull a late night assignment and so he wasn't able to come back in today. That was okay, because it meant that Jason had that hour to do a few other little chores he wanted to get done, and I was able to get back to the RCC's (mentioned above) to get other issues taken care of.

Linda and I went out tonight and enjoyed ourselves. Jason didn't want to come along and just rested. We made sure he had something to eat, and then we were off. We came back a few hours later and everything was okay. I went through my email and then did this blog post, and in a little while we'll be going to bed. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers.

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...
