A good day for Jason, especially since we got to see the girls, and they are sleeping in this house tonight. We had a great time with them, and we especially had a great time right after they took their bath. Shortly after bath is bed time and they wanted a bed time story. It amazes me that they never seem to tire of Jack and the Bean Stalk. Stacy loves to join in on the story, and adds her own characters as well as the occasional sound effects. All around it was fun times.

The day started out with a visit to the wound clinic and Dawn was happy to see us again. When we first got here from Bethesda, there was some mix up with some of the supplies that she had ordered for Jason, and we initially used up all that they had. Fortunately I had brought a bunch with us, so we had some coverage for several weeks. As it turned out, the mix up was corrected and now they have all the supplies that they, and Jason needs and we're in good shape.

Tomorrow is going to be another good day, and we'll see where that takes us into the weekend. Right now we don't have any plans for doing anything in particular, other than me finishing up with the clean up of the backyard (I got a bunch of it done today). We might invite some friends over to have a barbecue or something. Anyway, it is going to be a nice day tomorrow. Thanks, for all the continued prayers and support, and take care and stay positive.

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...
