Today, Jason and I went to the base, and dropped of the girls at the Child Development Center (CDC) and then headed over to his appointments (and my one appointment, too). We were all done before noon, and then headed back to the house, so he could take a shower and relax. We were also given tickets to go see the Giants and the Padres play, and the seats we were given were very nice seats, indeed. As it turned out the Padres organization had people there to greet us, as we got to the gate, and had made arrangements for us to come in through the VIP gate. Only trouble with that was that I wasn't told until after we had arrived that we were supposed to do that, so we came in through the Home Plate gate, which is right next to it. We still were escorted to our seats, as the people who were sent to great us, found us quickly. Our tickets were actually supposed to be along first base side, but they knew we are Giants fans, so they arranged for us to sit on the third base side, and in fact, RIGHT NEXT TO the Giants dugout. It was really cool. The team arrived while I went to go get some food for Jason and I (I didn't have to, as there was a person assigned to get us whatever we wanted, but I wanted to just go take a look). Also while I was gone, the Giants sent over a representative and gave Jason a "game ball", and then later one of the foul balls that was hit in their direction. I was nearly hit by another foul ball, and didn't catch it either, but it was still cool. Anyway, we stayed for most of the game, but then had to leave as Jason was uncomfortable, so we left right after the 6th inning. The Giants finally won the game 15 to 9, with most of the runs scored after we left (I guess it got kind of crazy). I did get some good pictures, though none of them being pictures of Jason with the players. We would have had to have gotten there an hour earlier than we did. Maybe next time...

The rest of the day is devoted to trying to catch up on a few other things at the house and getting some rest. Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    The only way the day could have been more perfect would have been if Jason had felt good enough to stay for the whole game! I love baseball!
    Praying in Seattle!
    Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

    No matter what storms we face in life, we have an Anchor that holds fast! Praying!
    Hebrews 6:17-20a Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus...

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...
