Kind of an interesting day for the two of us. We didn't have anything planned and no where to go, so Jason just stayed in his bed for the entire day, except for his shower and dressing change. Breakfast was simple, as I fixed cream of wheat, and lunch was soup and a sandwich. Also, I fixed the same for the girls, as they were now at the house with us. Jason received a text message from their mother and she asked him if we could take the girls today, because she needed to go to the ER. She came by at about 10:30 this morning and it did appear that something was bothering her, since she seemed to be favoring her left leg. I asked if we were going to be keeping the girls or was she going to be picking them up this evening. She didn't know at that moment and said she would let us know. Why her father wasn't able to watch the girls, I don't know, but it really doesn't matter, it is good to have them here with us.

Jackie is in the early stages of potty training, or I guess the new is toilet training. I am happy to see this as I have been working with her to let us know, and it seems the same is going on at their other home. I am hopeful that it won't be more than a few weeks to make it happen, though I did go down to Target to get some training pants/underwear for Jackie, and they didn't have any. I'll make another trip out tomorrow, to Babies R Us, and see if they have some. I was really surprised that Target didn't have any, and I didn't want to head out to Babies R Us because they aren't that close.

Tonight, when it was bed time, I had the girls brush their teeth, and Stacy is getting pretty good at it. Where I was surprised, and happy, was that Jackie is getting better at it as well. It seems both households are doing the same things, and progress is being made. I asked them if they wanted me to read them a story and they both said they wanted me to TELL them a story. I made up a story about the Land of Shapes, and a traveler who went to visit a new land, that had the one shape they didn't have... diamonds. Both the girls were having fun with the story, and even started to add to it, which made it a longer story, but that was okay. They were happy with what I did and gave me a big hug and kiss when I was done.

Tomorrow we'll be taking the girls to their Child Development Center (CDC) classes, and then take care of a couple of errands. There are no appointments, so we don't have to get the girls there too  early. On the other hand, we don't want to be too late, just so there is some consistency. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and support. Take care and stay positive.

    Hope all goes well with "the training." Going to have to start it up here with whichever boys I'm babysitting at the time. Two should be starting soon...oh joy! ;o)
    Praying in Seattle as always!
    1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

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...
