Today was a nice productive day, beginning with Jason having to be at formation, at 07:30, and then putting on a training session. His topic, ethics....

Apparently, from what I observed, he did a very good job, even with the challenges of incompatible software (you just got'a love Micro$oft). Jason is one of those die-hard XP users, and his entire presentation was done on XP, primarily power point slides with animation. The files were sent over to the systems at Balboa, now running on Windows 7, and things didn't seem to work as they were supposed to. It was okay though, as he was very familiar with the material and like I said, I heard others talking about it and it was all positive.

After I dropped Jason off, I took the girls to their respective day cares and then I went back to the house. My original plan was to go for a bike ride, but that didn't happen. I grabbed a quick bowl of cereal and then a call from Jason letting me know he was done and heading over to his PT appointment. I headed back over to the base and we met up. I took the time to walk around and work with the folks about his supply orders. The correct orders went in (this was shown to me) but what I received was laughable. Fortunately I have enough stuff on hand, and can get other supplies from the hospital, so that we can continue to wait for the provider to get their collective heads on straight. We'll see how it goes. I am so glad that I have a good working relationship with the people at Balboa.

Jason and I headed back home and had a quick lunch and then he rested for a short while. After that he took a shower and then I headed back out to pick up the girls. Stacy was very talkative today and presented me with a "kite" that she had put together, and even demonstrated how it worked. I gave her a big hug and said, "thank you." Jackie was just happy to see us, as she always is, and then we went back home.

Tonight was a nice and easy night, with the big point being bath time, and then a story for bed time. The girls all got to go in and say good night to Daddy and then that was pretty much it for the day. Tomorrow I can sleep in until about 07:00 (I think), and then we're on to other things. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Sooner or later he's going to have to give up XP. They won't let it still work forever!
    You know I'm praying hard!
    Psalms 91:14-15 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

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.&quo
