Sorry for the late post - Jason is back in the hospital with another infection. We just spent the last 6 hours in the ER and for whatever reason, it took them two hours to go from deciding to admit Jason, to actually doing it. Anyway, he is feeling fine right now, but wasn't earlier (obviously, that's why we went to the ER in the first place). It looks like he won't be there more than a couple of days at the most, and we were told it probably won't have a negative affect on the travel plans... we'll see.

The funny thing is that we both felt that it had been a productive day and we were able to get several thinkgs accomplished. We had a great visit from Shauna, who stopped by on her way to dance practice. It is always great to see her, she and Jason get along so well you'd almost think they were brother and sister. We ended up heading over to the ER about an hour after she left. That's all the update for now, as it is getting late and I am tired. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and support.

    What a difference a day makes.


    Praying for this situation. I wish that there was a way for this to be remedied. GET WELL JASON!

    Oh dear!!! I'm glad to read that he's feeling better now after the ER ordeal. I would never have guessed he didn't feel fine while I was visiting, the humor and character that I love were all there! And your comment is very kind, Jason is definitely like the awesome brother I never had. :-)

    HUGS, and hoping for smooth travels back to San Diego for you both! Give my love to the girls when you see them!

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...
