Early start to today's activities; Jason had a 07:30 formation. Unusual for mid-week, but still something we have gotten used to dealing with. The girls got up this morning with only minor protest. Actually Jackie was up and raring to go while Stacy pleaded to get more sleep. Because of that I got Jackie up first and then went to work on getting Stacy to move. Still, we managed to get down stair with clothes on, hair brushed, and time for breakfast. I finished getting my shoes on while they ate, and then helped Jason to get Gracie ready. Actually, we were at the base with plenty of time; Jason was dropped off and then Jackie was taken to her day care preschool. The next stop was getting Stacy over to her preschool, and that just about gets me back to the house.

I went to the house and since Jason was going to be doing his Marine thing I went for a bike ride. It was a modified version of my ride along the harbor, and I would have liked to modify it more, but I was worried I wouldn't be back soon enough. After my shower and heading back over to the C5 clinic at Balboa Hospital I found that Jason was still in his last appointment. I guess I would have had time to go that extra part of the ride. Oh well, maybe I can do it tomorrow. Jason doesn't have any appointments tomorrow, but we do have some chores to get done, so I will need to get out early for the ride. I've also began doing another exercise that is supposed to be beneficial, as it sort of does a bunch of isometric type exercises, and you have to do it all at the same time. Right now I can go for about a minute, with a goal of getting up to two or more. You just have to do it every day, though you can make some modifications so that it doesn't get too boring.

The rest of the day was spent at the house. I did a few chores around here and Jason rested. I fixed a nice dinner of chicken with baked potato and mixed vegetables. The chicken came out much more moist than I thought it would, so I was very happy. I went to talk with Jason, while he was eating and he let me know that he had found a few more properties that he wants to look at, so we just might be doing that in the near future (my guess would be Wed. or Thur next week). Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    If you'd done the other part of the ride Jason would have been done earlier...that's the way it goes!
    Keep your eyes on the Lord! Lifting up prayers!
    2 Samuel 22:2-3, 7 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. (7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

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...
