April 5, 2011 - A quick thank you

All - Jason is doing well today, and he is getting some testing done on his bowels. If he comes through as well as they are expecting he will get to start eating again, and he is already asking for soup, in the way of a good stock (chicken or beef). I will provide a little more information on this later tonight.

The main purpose of this entry is to simply say, "Thank you." To all of you who have been following the blog; those that have sent get well cards; and, for the packages that have come. We have not had much of a chance to go through and open many of them, as there hasn't been a time that has allowed us all to get together and go through them, especially since Jason is still on the 3rd floor (I.C.U.). It is hoped that he will be up to the 5th floor by tomorrow, and then we can begin seeing what all those cards and letters - and packages - have in them. It will probably be a while before we can get the thank you's out to everyone too, so please be patient.

Another entry to come tonight

    Thank you notes not expected!!! It's just our way to say that we're thinking of you. You've obviously got a lot of love out there...no response necessary.
    Prayers continuing...Christina

    Just get well Jason, that's everyones thank you. By the way, I did send a note (twice) to Mr. and Mrs. O'bama requesting that they visit you. It doesn't hurt to ask right???

    You are in our prayers on a daily basis,
    Karen & Rob Weaver

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.&quo

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
