It has been another good day for Jason, and the Ross family, here in San Diego. We did have to take the girls to school this morning, and now won't see them again for five days, then the cycle all begins again. Over the past few weeks we have been running into some difficulties getting wound care supplies and making sure that we have all that is needed to help Jason. I think, as a result of working with Dr. Sheu and Sarah with the V.A. most, if not all the issues have been addressed and by the end of this week we will have the supplies rolling like they're supposed to. That makes me feel much more comfortable, and I think it makes Jason feel better as well.

Tomorrow Karen Ryan, a family friend, will be coming down to spend some time with us, and she and Linda plan to take off for a couple of days for some "girls time" together. We will be getting up a little on the early side and I'll take off for a quick bike ride. At about 10:30 Linda and I will head over to the airport to pick up Karen and then we'll come back to the house, so she can say, "Hi!" to Jason. From there I'm not really sure how it is going to roll out, as it depends on how Jason is feeling. I am still looking for it to be a very nice day, even if it rains (it rained yesterday and early this morning). Actually, if it rains I'll be kind of happy.

Linda and I watched a movie, Enemy at the Gates, as we hadn't seen it in quite a while. One of the benefits of having a bunch of movies is that sometimes you can go back to your "collection" and find something that you haven 't seen in a while, and it is a really good movie. I even made some popcorn and we kind of felt like we had our own little theater. Then we decided to go to bed, as we were getting tired. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    The Lord will be with you no matter what you're going through. Praying hard!
    Psalms 91:9-12 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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...
