Today started out as a great day, considering the night we just slept through, or should I say, tried to sleep through. Not sure what was going on with Jackie, but she woke up three times, and each time it woke both Jason and I up. I'd go down and get her up, walk around with her and take her into see daddy; she'd calm down and then I would put her back to bed. She wasn't wet, and she calmed down quickly, so I am guessing that she was having bad dreams or something. First time this has happened, so I really don't know. After about midnight there were no more disruptions and we slept through the rest of the night, and she woke up just as happy as could be. The amazing thing was that Stacy slept through everything - sound sleeper for sure.

We got up and had cereal for breakfast, and then got a phone call that Jose was not going to be coming by, as he wasn't feeling well. This was inconvenient, but I'd rather he not come by if he is ill. The folks from Maxim, where he is employed, called and said they would attempt to find a replacement, but since they would not be able to have anyone here until the afternoon I told them not to bother. It would have been a couple of hours of support, but in all honesty it would probably have been more disruptive than helpful. Hopefully there will be coverage for tomorrow, and we can get back on a regular schedule.

Not much else going on today, out side of the norm. The girls did go to day care where they made some paper towel roll decorations for Daddy; and, aside from a couple of errands, I was able to keep Jason in bed and out of his chair. I think he is getting better and feeling more confident with the ceiling trapezes, as he is able to transfer much more quickly, and comfortably than he was just a few days ago. Those kinds of improvements really make me feel good, and I am hopeful that I'll see more of those kinds of things, once he gets off the I.V.

Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers - it is appreciated.

    Jackie's been through a lot. She's probably just having a hard time adjusting and it's effecting her at night. Hope she gets through this quickly!
    Always lifting up prayer!
    Psalms 40:5, 11, 13 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (11) Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. (13) Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

    Poor baby Jackie, MUST have been bad dreams :-( I'm glad she woke up rested and happy!! I'm glad to hear that Mr. Jason behaved and rested up those wounds. I am anxious for the day that I hear they are all closed up and he can move on to more challenges! Until then, he really does need to rest and keep the pressure off of them, his hard work will pay off :-) Good job Jason. Take MaMa Ross out to dinner tomorrow night for Chinese. Have a great day tomorrow Clan Ross! Keep up the good work.

    I'm going to the gym tomorrow a.m. and will dedicate my exercise to Jason. Thinking and praying for you.

    All our best,

    Hey there! Just popping on by for a quick "hi!"

    I'm glad to hear that Jason is feeling better despite not having his nurse there yesterday. The Students are SO happy to hear that Jason is feeling better- they worry a lot about him.

    Sorry Miss. Jackie isn't sleeping well- have you tried soothing soft music? My youngest step son had a pretty hard time after his mom moved (he was only 18 months) and this was the ONLY thing that worked for him.

    Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy your weekend and that the weather is cooperative for out door activities!

    Many Blessings from your Friends at Diamond Learning Center <3

      Hello Ross Clan,

      It was so nice to get back to read your blog tonight. My work week has been action packed and I have been thinking about all of you....hoping all news for the week was positive.

      So sad form Jackie (and dad and grandpa)!!! I am sure she will be more than fine!

      Jason...please stay off your wounds and let them heal!! George....keep up the good work. Grandma....I think of you everyday....and so wish you could be in San Diego more.

      I am sending my warmest thoughts to the entire Ross Clan!

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
