Today was a nice relaxed day, where Jason only had a couple of appointments, and we were back over to the house well before noon. We did stop by the Child Development Center, but both the girls were not there so we didn't stay very long. We were expecting a visit from Child Protection Services, as a case needs to be resolved/closed, but they called and said they would not be coming by today (actually it isn't a "they" it is a "she"), and would be by tomorrow. This was okay with us, but we would really liked to have gotten this out of the way. Jason has been talking to the lady on the phone, and she needs to verify with her eyes.

I did get a chance to go for a bike ride, and it was a little bit of a challenge. The wind was picking up and it seemed like it didn't matter what direction I was going, it was always against the wind. Fortunately there was some down hill, and yes, that also means there was uphill stretches. The ride was another 12 miler, and it took just under an hour to do it, so I figure I'm doing okay right now. I need to build up to 50+ mile rides, so that I can do the two-day ride when it finally gets here.

Jason wounds are actually looking a little better than they have, so I was particularly happy about that. The next steps we will be taking are going to be coming up in a matter of a few weeks, so better is good. He got a good nap in, mostly while I was riding and we also found out that there is a good chance that Larry, our in-home assistant, is coming back. This should allow me to take longer rides, and help me to not worry so much while I am out.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for us, so I don't think I'm going to be able to go out for another ride. We will again make an effort to see the girls, but we'll have to see how that goes. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and for all the support. Also, please pray for the girls, as I know they miss their daddy, and also pray for their mom. Take care and stay positive.

    Stopping by to let you know that you're always in my thoughts and prayers!
    Psalms 91:1-2, 4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

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...
