No official appointments today, though we did head over to the folks at OT/PT and spent some time there. We also said our good-byes to some of the people, as we are not sure if we'll be around to say it later. After that we went over to Wound Care and had the dressings changed, and again, said good bye to the folks there. Then we went to get our hair cut... and I mean our. Both of us were getting our hair cuts right next to each other, and I think this is the first time this has happened. As you can see from the postings, we got a couple of pictures taken and it was kind of fun. The barbers were enjoying it as well.

We're almost out of food, so tonight we had Taco Bell, though I still have some Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat for breakfasts, but only a couple. Tomorrow is going to be spent packing up a bunch of the stuff, though not all of it. I need to do a load of laundry or two, and then that will be the last of that, I think. If we are able to we might be able to get out to go see our friend Shauna do a dance performance, but right now we simply don't know.

All of the packed boxes were shipped out today, and it was a bit more pricey than I thought it would be. I guess I should have just sent them parcel post and let them get there when they did, but we also wanted to be sure we had the stuff, since most of it is being used, or is gifts for the girls. If there isn't a post tomorrow, or maybe the next day, assume it is because we're traveling, and I wasn't able to get it done, though I think I should be able to get something in... Stay tuned for the continuing excitement. Thank you, all for your continued prayers and all the support.

    Can't believe they don't let you know when you're leaving!
    The Lord is always with you! Praying!
    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.

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...
