February 2, 2014 - Happy Ground Hog Day!

Not much going on with Jason today, other than the regular dressing change and staying in bed for most of the day. I washed the van today, and it looks pretty good, at least a lot cleaner (glad to have that dog hair out of the van). I wanted to be sure the van was in better shape for our trip up to Los Angeles tomorrow. It is going to be a busy couple of weeks for us, or I should say busy for the next three weeks. I expect things to slow down a bit after the surgery on the 20th.

We did go out for Chinese food tonight, as that is something we haven't done in a long time. The last time I was out on the bike I cam across this restaurant and wanted to try it out, so we did. I told Jason that the Super Bowl was still on (just about the end of the third quarter) so they shouldn't be busy. Besides it was already pretty clear that the Broncos decided to not show up for the game. I don't want to detract from the abilities of the Seahawks, but the Broncos were definitely in self destruct mode. Oh well, so much for a good football game, I believe it turned out the way it was supposed to. Anyway, we had the Chinese food and then came back to the house.

We will be leaving around noon tomorrow for L.A., and then back again on Thursday. I don't know, right now, if I'll be able to do much in the way of updates to the blog, while up there, but I'll try. My main objective is to enjoy the time with Jason, focused on doing something different. Thank you, for all the continued prayer and support. Take care and stay positive.

    That first play blew my mind! Love my HAWKS!
    Always look to the Lord whatever the need. Praying for safe travels tomorrow. Used to drive to and from San Diego from Anaheim a couple of times a month to see my Dad so know all about that trip. Hope you have a great time!
    Psalms 121:1-4 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

    Know that I'm always here praying!
    Psalms 121:5-8 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

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...
