This was one of those early mornings, where we didn't have to get going early... i.e. the girls simply got up early today and we didn't need to leave the house until almost 08:45. That made it kind of a fun and crazy morning, with Grandma (Linda) and I working on getting the girls all ready and their hair looking great. Actually, I've been taking advantage of Linda being here so that she can teach me a few things about how to fix a little girl's hair, and when she takes off in a few days I should still be able to at least make them presentable.

We got the girls to their day care and then Jason over to his appointments and then we came back to the house. Jason said he wanted to head out to lunch and Linda said how about Olive Garden. Me, I was just hungry since all I had was toast for breakfast... and a cup of herbal tea. We got to the Olive Garden and the food was good, as was the service, though it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, as we kind of expect that with this particular restaurant.

We really didn't do much for the rest of the day, other than to pick up some clothes from the cleaners and just laid around the house. Tomorrow we're going to a special dinner, with Bob Hamer, and we needed the clothes from the cleaners so that Jason could be in his Tux (I don't have a tux, but I do have a nice suit and Linda has a nice dress). I might be able to get some pictures from the dinner, but that still remains to be seen. Heck, I still need to post the pictures of the girls from the carousel, from the other day.

Tonight we had a mish-mash of different things for dinner, and realized we ned to go to the store tomorrow, if we can, and restock the place. Linda will be taking Jason to his appointment tomorrow and I will be going for a long ride - possibly 30+ miles, and I want to see if I can get it all done in about 3 hours. If that works then I'll feel much better about being ready for the up coming ride. Still looking for sponsors, so please go to the web site for the eodride (www.eodride.org) and select the San Diego ride. You should be able to find my name under the Riders and then you just have to click on my name and follow the directions. Anyway, that's about it for today, so thank you for the continued support and prayers and take care and have a great day.

    Praying!
    Psalms 86:15-16 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

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...
