Apologies, that there was no update yesterday... though there really wasn't much to update about. Jason did take Gracie to her training, while Linda and I stayed in the van. We stayed back so that we could catch up on some of the paper work we had to take care of. Otherwise we stayed at home or went to the grocery store. Oh, yes, and one other thing, Linda and I put up some Christmas decorations up, both inside and outside. So now on to today's update.

Jason spent the entire day in bed, and I was glad to see it. He said he was feeling like he had the flu or a bad cold. By the end of the day though, he was feeling much better. The day was spent wrapping some gifts and getting ready for the girls to come back tomorrow. I did get to watch some football, and it was enjoyable as I really didn't care who won the games played today. The Niners play tomorrow and that one I really care about. Okay, I do care a little about a couple of the other teams, but only because of how it could impact how the Niners end their season and go into the playoffs, but otherwise I didn't care much about the scores. Linda was having a great time with the gift wrapping and actually stayed up a little while tonight wrapping some of the packages.

Tomorrow Jason has formation at 07:30, so we will be going off early. It is anticipated that the formation won't last too long, and there really isn't much else to be done at the base, so we'll head right back to the house. We may stop and pick up the girls, but that depends on the time. In any event, they will be with us relatively early. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

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...
