Today was a good day, with Jason heading up to Oceanside and taking Gracie to her training. She has gotten a bit lacks in her "service dog" duties, and the trainers noticed. They said it would take a few sessions and then she should be back to where she was. While we were there Gracie got a very nice pedicure and it looked like she really enjoyed it. The lady doing the work on Gracie's feet is Alley, and she offers to all the folks there, this same treatment for their animals.

We also met up with Anthony Netto and Angelica, and then went to have lunch with them after the training session ended. We met up with a friend of Anthony, Steve, who is a retired Navy Seal. He talked about getting Jason out in the water, and possibly doing some diving with him, maybe even this year! Jason is open to the idea, so we'll see what happens.

Jason and I then headed on back to the house, where Linda had been all day. She took advantage of being the only one at home, and played the "White Tornado." She was working mostly on our room, but touched all areas of the house. I was impressed when I got upstairs. Other than that, we didn't do much else today. I think I might try to get a bike ride in tomorrow, but not sure right now. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Hope it works out that Jason can get in the water! Bet he'd have a great time!
    Jesus went through it all for you! Always praying in Seattle!
    Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

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
