Jason pretty much stayed in bed today, and I think that was because of all the activity he was involved in yesterday. His spirits remain high and his attitude is strongly positive. Along with all of this the wounds slowly continue to heal. I guess that's the most frustrating aspect of his recovery. Just as it looks like they are about to close, they begin to open again, or worse, the skin ruptures in a new location. Typically these ruptures are small, and only take a couple of weeks to close back up, they just tend to be frustrating. On the overall picture, things are looking better and I am still hopeful that most everything will be closed when he goes back in for surgery, on February 20.

On another front, Linda will be moved down here to San Diego on February 14. I will be going up to help with some of the final packing (she has been doing most of it with the help of many friends), and then driving the two of us back down on Valentines Day. She will be staying with Jason and I, AND the girls at the house here, until Jason's new house is built. Not sure when that is going to happen, but we are hoping that it will be done by the end of this year... maybe a first Christmas in the new house.

Tomorrow is going to be another day of relaxing and staying down, as he wants to be sure he is ready for the Hollywood Salute To The Troops, next week. We go up Monday and come back Thursday, and then shortly after that I will be going up to Livermore. This is all exciting developments for all of us, and especially for me. It will be great to have her back down here and we can be together again, like we're supposed to be. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Am so happy that Linda's moving to San Diego! Bestest Valentine's Day gift for both of you!
    Sorry to hear about the continued healing problems.
    Keep your eyes on the only true source of peace and strength. Praying!
    Isaiah 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

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...
