Today was a day basically spent at home and it was nice just relaxing and having the girls to play with. They spent some time with Jason, in his room and with me around the rest of the house. We had our pancake breakfast, and Stacy helped with the making of the pancakes. After lunch the girls took their naps, and Jason took his shower; then, after they got up we all went shopping at Target, to buy a few things for Stacy and a couple things for Jackie. The good news is that most of the clothes that Stacy grows out of, Jackie can put on, and Jason doesn't have to buy new clothes for her. He still does, to make sure she doesn't feel left out, but it is so nice to have all these ready to use clothes. The realization is that in a few years I don't know if that is still going to be done. Jackie is built differently than Stacy, and I suspect that she will soon be wearing larger sizes as she gets older and Stacy's clothes are always going to fit.

When the girls went to bed tonight I read two stories to them, since they each have a bed. What I had been doing is sitting on the edge of Stacy's bed and reading a story to them at night, and now that they both have beds, I have to sit on both of their beds, and thus I read two stories. It really doesn't take too much time to do the stories, so I don't mind, and the girls get extra time with Grandpa.

Next week is going to be a little different, in that we still take the girls to Balboa and drop them off at the Child Development Center (CDC); and, then we head over to Mirimar for a special training class for Jason. It will be going on for at least a week, and after the training we come back to the CDC to pick the girls back up. The thing is, this is supposed to be a one-week class, or training, and Jason can not stay up for the entire eight-hour class sessions. I don't know if that means he will have to go for two weeks or what, so my guess is we'll find something out tomorrow. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers - Take care and stay positive.

    Hope you can figure out how Jason can take the class!
    Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying!

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...
