Some of you might be wondering what happened to the blog last night. Well, Linda and I actually got a "Date Night" in, and we went to a movie and dinner. The dinner was at a local Mexican restaurant and the food was pretty good, though I think some of the spiciness that was in Linda's made her tummy a little upset. Then we went on to a movie and saw, "No Escape." It was a very intense movie, and Owen Willson and Lake Bell did an amazing job, I was very pleased. We didn't go to the movie for the stars in the movie or for the content of the movie. We went because of the time it was shown, and it fit our open window of opportunity. As it turned out it was very intense for just about the entire movie, and as a result, that level of intensity, along with the spicy food, Linda's tummy was really going.

Prior to the getting out and doing something different, the day was busy enough and Linda continued
to plan for Stacy's birthday party (she'll be seven). Jason was in bed for most of the day and remained as positive as he always is. We did have a visit from the HOA, and they brought a welcoming gift for Jason. It is a flag that reflects that Jason was a part of the EOD team, and Jason really appreciated it. Otherwise there wasn't much to blog about.

Today was another day of great weather down here. We've had so many very hot (triple digit temps), and then got hit by some serious rain for a couple of days; it was nice to see a warm bright day with clear skies. Tomorrow is supposed to be another nice day, and that is particularly good, as Stacy is celebrating a seventh birthday, and we are having a party. That means we expect to see a bunch of her friends from school as well as from Pt. Loma area. We'll see who makes it tomorrow.

That's about it for now. As you can tell, I'm doing this kind of late, again, and I'm getting tired. I really need to get more into a pattern of getting the blog done earlier. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

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...
