Linda is here! We just got back from picking her up at the air port. Well, actually we just got back from dinner, where we went after picking her up. Anyway, it is great that she is here. I feel so much better now, and know that she feels better, too. Tomorrow we have a few errands to take care of and then we will be going to the Marine Corps Ball, on Camp Pendleton, with Jason and Gracie. It is something that Linda and I have been looking forward to, for some time now. Jason looks at us and just shakes his head, he thinks we're acting like kids going to the Homecoming Dance, or something. It is a big deal for the two of us, so we intend to have fun.

Otherwise, there really isn't much to tell about today. Jason took care of a couple of things at the base, as well as getting a hair cut, and then we spent most of the day at the house. I did get in a short bike ride, though, it really didn't amount to much. I figure if I continue to ride a bunch of little rides for the rest of this year, perhaps I will be able to ride longer ones next year, and get back in shape for a longer ride, like I did before.

Jason is doing well and feeling in pretty good spirits, and he got some of the required paperwork done today. There is still a little bit to get done, and then we should know what will be happening with the rest of his career in the Marines. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and support. Take care and stay positive.

    So happy that you're together again!
    Such words of comfort! Praying!
    1 Peter 1:18-19, 21 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (21) Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

    Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
    Psalms 73:23-26 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

    Dear Staff Sgt Jason Ross,
    "Thank you for your service" does not adequately express my sentiments. Have you ever received a quilt from the Quilts of Valor organization www.qovf.org/ ? I make QOV quilts and if you have not received one, I would like to make sure you receive one. God Bless.

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...
