June 17, 2015 - evening

Good day for all of us. Jason is doing well at the hospital, and they should be allowing him to go to more solid foods tomorrow. He is in good spirits, though he is getting tired of "clear liquid" diet - one can only eat so much jello... ;-) The doctors are saying that he should be out in four days, so I'm guessing that he will be coming home sometime on Friday, or worst case, Saturday.

I managed to get in a short bike ride this morning, though I did seem to misplace my backpack. I always ride with my backpack, as it carries all my stuff, like spare tubes and bike lock and such. I finally did find it, after I had made a second one and got back from the ride. I ended up with  about 20 miles, on a relatively flat ride (only a few small hills). Tomorrow I don't think I'll be able to get out for a ride, though I should have some time to get over to the gym in the early hours. The dogs should be okay for a little over an hour, by themselves. A real positive is that Kojak is starting to warm up to me a little more, and that is a good thing, we'll see how it goes after Jason gets back home.

Tomorrow I'll be going in to see Jason a little earlier, so that I can get with the Wound Care folks, who are also coming in. I'm supposed to be there around 09:30, so I'll do my best to do that. I intend to get to sleep a little earlier tonight. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    So glad that the surgery went well.
    There is so much comfort in the book of Isaiah. Lifting up prayer.
    Isaiah 25:8-9 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

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...
