A nice day, and an easy start. Actually, the girls slept in a little and I was up and brushing my teeth before they came up the stairs... about 07:00. Linda was up a little while later, and she assisted in getting the girls ready to go, and that was pretty much the start of the day. It didn't take too long for everyone to get ready, with Stacy leading the way. Since Jackie wasn't quite ready to go, and Stacy was, I suggested that we just walk over the her school (less than 1/4 mile away), and Stacy was all for that. It only took about 10 minutes or so, for the round trip, so I was back pretty quick.

Jason and I got in the van, with Jackie, and Linda stayed back to take care of a few things and do some laundry. When we reached the Child Development Center  (CDC) we were greeted with barricades and a few signs indicating that we were to park in a different area. Before we completely got out of the van a woman walked towards us and said the center was closed, and that it would be closed until tomorrow, due to a broken water pipe. There was no water in the center and the teachers had already been sent home. I hope they can get the repairs done, and are ready to open up tomorrow.

Jason goes in to the hospital tomorrow for pre-op admittance. At this point we really don't know if he is going to be staying the night at the hospital, or if he will just go in and then be back out in a short while. My guess is that he will be in and out in a matter of a couple of hours. Then, on Thursday, Jason goes in, and will have the surgery on that day and remain in the hospital for a few days, up to a week.

The rest of the day was spent taking care of a few things and running a few errands. Dinner was chicken that Jason had marinating in the refrigerator, for two days. I cooked it up in a skillet and it was really good. We also had mashed potatoes and Brussels Sprouts. There really wasn't much in the way of left overs. Thank you for all the continued prayers and support. Take care and stay positive.

    Praying so that all goes well tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Philippians 3:9-11 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

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.&quo
