Jason was required to go to formation this morning, as I mentioned yesterday in the blog. The formation turned into a class, so Jason sent me a text and said he would be at a class, but anticipated it would be short. I took the opportunity to go speak to a few people there, and wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and the timing worked out pretty good. As it turned out, I was done and back to the building he was meeting at the class, and I only had to wait for about 10 minutes. Actually, I found out, that he was done with the training class and there was a different meeting going on; one in which he received a few more gifts for the girls. The tree is really looking pretty good with a bunch of stuff for the girls.

While Jason and I were at the base (Balboa hospital and Wounded Warrior Battalion) Linda was back at the house working on wrapping a few more gifts and a few more decorations. When we got back to the house we picked up Linda and headed over to pick up the girls, it was now close to 10:30. Jason wanted to go and take the girls to see Frozen, the new animation movie, and so we did, with first a stop for lunch. Typically we don't like to spend money for lunch, because we usually have plenty of food at the house, but this time we felt it would be faster, since the restaurant is right next to the theater. Well, we had plenty of time and the meal was paid for by someone else. An anonymous person covered our bill, and we don't even know who to thank. The movie was fun, though a little longer than we thought it would be. We headed back to the house after the movie, and the girls went to take a nap - they were tired.

Tonight we had a fun and relaxing evening with the girls. We watched a Christmas animation movie, that lasted about 20 minutes, then it was story time and off to bed. Dinner was simple, and that was okay, as it got rid of some of the left overs we had in the fridge. I did get to see some of the Niner game against the Flacons, and was very surprised at the results. I thought the Niners were going to win, but for a while it did look very much like it was going to go the other way around. Tomorrow I'm not sure what we will be doing, other than tomorrow evening when the girls will be going back to their other house. We won't see them again until Friday, and that's when we will have our day of opening gifts. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Sorry you don't get to spend Christmas with the girls.
    Know that you're all always in my thoughts and prayers!
    Romans 5:1-4 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

    Merry Christmas! Always here praying!
    Galatians 4:4-6 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

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...
