Kind of a regular day for us, though it did have its little surprises for us, along the way. It began with Anthony coming over to the house at about 05:10 this morning - yeah, kinda early. I had told him I would take him to the airport, as he has a business trip to go to. When I got back from the airport I decided to stay up and work on the Quick Books stuff, for Stand UP And Play, and did that until about 08:30. It was almost three hours worth of organizing work, but I am glad I did, as I think it will be a little easier to keep track of what is going on.

 Jason had an appointment at 12:30 today, and then at about 08:30 they called and let him know it had been cancelled. He was going to have to reschedule for next week. The reason for the cancellation was not given, just that the doctor was not available. I am assuming it was sort of a family issue or the doctor, himself, was sick. Anyway, it opened a nice little opportunity for me to go for an unplanned bike ride. I didn't want to be gone too long, so I made it kind of short. Actually, that was kind of a funnier aspect of the ride. I went on Tuesday, for a 16.16 mile ride and today I ended up at 16.16 miles, and I took a different route. Next time I go, probably Saturday, I promise it will be different from 16.16.

I cooled down for awhile and then cleaned up, and then Jason wanted to get out and take care of some errands and business. We made a few stops, and Stacy (she was with us again today) and I stayed in the van while Jason went into the stores and the bank. We got back home at about 13:30 (1:30pm) and had a late lunch. While eating lunch Stacy's tooth, which had been loose for several days, came out. She was very excited about it, as she pulled it out herself. She was talking about leaving it for the Tooth Fairy and wanting to show and share it with everybody. She was so proud to take it in to Daddy, and Jason made a bid deal out of it.

The rest of the evening was a bit more relaxed, and finally dinner was left overs. I had originally planned on cooking salmon but it was still pretty frozen, so I'll do that tomorrow. That's probably better anyway because she and Karen Ryan should be here for dinner tomorrow. Yeah! Linda is coming back home tomorrow and I will be very happy to see her - it has been a long 10 days. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Glad it's time for Linda to be back! Assuming your back's better if you ride that long.
    The only true hope comes from the Lord! Praying!
    Romans 15:4, 13 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (13) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

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...
