Not much going on today, as Jason only had the one appointment with PT, so from that perspective it was an easier day. We got up relatively early and had a simple breakfast of cereal. Stacy showed up at a little after 07:30, and about 90 minutes later we left for Jason's appointment. While he was in PT I decided to go take care of a few other issues, and Stacy decided she wanted to go with me this time, and for whatever reason she was full of the boundless energy most 5 year olds have, and I had a tough time keeping up with her. Fortunately, the timing of my errands and Jason's therapy turned out to be about the same, and when we walked back into the treatment area Jason was just about ready to leave.

Once we left the hospital we headed out to take care of a few more simple errands that Jason wanted to get done, and then we headed back to the house. When I got up this morning, my back was feeling much better than it did yesterday; by the time we got back home it was beginning to feel stressed a bit, and I had to sit back down for a little while. Actually I made lunch first, then I got to sit down. I only rested for about 30 minutes and then I felt much better. I guess this is the kind of stuff I should expect - it is just all part of getting a little older I guess.

Linda and Karen will be arriving sometime after I have finished and posted this blog. They left early this morning and stopped at our son David's house, on the way down, and then again at Linda's parents home, for dinner. I would have rather then come straight down, but I also appreciate the need to stop for rests as well as wanting to do some visiting, and the trip was a convenient way to get that accomplished. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Maybe icing your back would help.
    Always here praying!
    Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

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...
