Jason had a good day today, and we even went for a ride, out in the country side. Of course, around here that means you basically can only go in two directions... North or East. The other two directions will get you to Mexico or out in the Pacific ocean. Anyway, it was something kind of different and it was fun to get out and explore a little bit. We were gone for about three hours and the effort was a bit of a load on Jason, so after we got home we had a quick lunch and then he went to sleep.

The rest of the day was spent with Linda and I making a quick trip to Target and then the rest of the day was spent at the house. We even had a simple dinner of soup and sandwiches for dinner, and it was nice. We still had some of the ham from the Honey Baked Ham left over and it made a couple of very nice sandwiches. We also sat back and watched a movie, something we always enjoy doing, and won't be able to do again until she comes back down (or I have to go up north for some reason). All the decorations are down, and put away - the put away part is usually the slowest part. Now it is a matter of moving on into the new year and seeing just what we can accomplish.

We'll be going to church in the morning, and in fact, have been invited to brunch with some friends after. Not sure what else will be going on, other than Linda will need to head on back up to Livermore by the end of the day. It was been extra nice having her here for these past couple of weeks, so I guess I got a little spoiled. Jason and I will need to get back into our routine again, and that shouldn't be too difficult, I hope. Thank you, all for all the continued prayer and support. 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...
