We got up this morning, and I let the girls sleep in for a little while, just enough for them to start to wake up on their own. I really don't like having to get them up early in the morning, but sometimes I guess it is what has to be done. Breakfast was simple, more Cheerios, and I packed Stacy's lunch, and then we were all off to the pre-schools. Actually we dropped Stacy off first and then headed over to Balboa to drop Jason off, and then I took Jackie to the CDC (Child Development Center), on base. Jason had his PT appointment, and that took just a little over an hour, and while he was there I stopped in and visited with Jenifer T. She has responsibility for much of the goings on with C5, and she let me know that in fact, C5 is NOT going away, and that much of the core structure or programs, are going to remain in tact. I apologize for any confusion that I may have caused with yesterday's statement, so hopefully this provides the correct information.

After his appointment, Jason wanted to go get his hair cut and then we were called over to Building 26 to deal with some paperwork. Unfortunately, I goofed on another scheduled appointment that Jason and I both had, and it was back at the house. Fortunately, I received a call as a nice reminder and Jason and I were quickly headed back to the house. Robb and Mark, from the Nice Guys wanted to speak with Jason about his truck, or better, his desire to get a truck. They can help coordinate the ability to get Jason something very close, if not exactly, to what he wants. They have a great number of connections and can work with multiple other organizations to help make the truck a reality. Anyway, Jason answered a few questions and then we had a nice visit, and they were on their way.

After that visit I made lunch for Jason and sat back to rest for a little while. Later in the afternoon I had a meeting with PMI, and it was going to go on into the evening, where I didn't get home tonight until about 21:00 (9pm). It was a good meeting for me, and if I should decide that I can get back into the work force, than this will be a good place for me to start to network. That was pretty much the day, and tomorrow is going to be spent at Camp Pendleton, or at least a few hours of it. We go in the morning, and then we'll be back by early afternoon. Joselyn will back from her vacation and we can get back to a more normal routine again. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Glad things are working out so well about the truck! Must be strange thinking about getting back into the work force after all you've been through. Hope it works out for you!
    Lifting up prayers right now!
    Psalms 28:8-9 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

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...
