Nice day, with an early start. The time change has been beneficial as it gave the girls an extra hour of rest, even though they had to get going earlier (by the clock) than they have had to in the past. There was time for a little horsing around and breakfast, and we still got Stacy to her class before 07:30, by a few minutes. We then headed over to take Jason to his formation and I took Jackie to her pre-school. As it turned out I had to do a few trips, back and fourth because we're working with toilet training Jackie, and she had a couple of accidents early this morning and I needed to get some extra clothes to the class.

I even had time for a short bike ride this morning, and it was kind of a nice escape for me. I got back to the C5 gym (Jason's PT) to pick up Jason, just about the time he was done. Then as we were about to leave we were stopped and asked if we were interested to meeting up with one of the generals coming by for a visit. Of course Jason is always happy to stop and visit, and as it turned out the Sergeant Major who was with the General was the First Sergeant for Jason while he was in Afghanistan. They had a great chat, and about the only down was that I didn't bring my camera with me, so I didn't take any pictures (I really don't like the camera on my phone - very poor quality pictures).

The rest of the day was spent at the house, except for when I went to pick up the girls, so it was kind of relaxed. Dinner tonight was a mix and match from left overs of the past couple of nights and the girls were happy with that. I think Jason was happy with it as well, as he had a nice cheese burger and he was very pleased with it. He also went to sleep a short while later, which meant he was very comfortable, too. Tomorrow should prove to be an exciting day, as Jason gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, to learn how to drive a specially modified vehicle. It will be the first time in about three years that he has driven in traffic, so I expect it to be a "fun" time. I'll do my best to let you all know what the out come is. Thanks, for all the prayers and continued support. Take care and stay positive.

    Watch out San Diego! Jason's on the road! Hope it goes well!
    Lifting up prayer!
    Psalms 56:3-4, 13 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me...For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

    Great news on FB!
    Praying right now!
    1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

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...
