Today was a good day for Jason, and the rest of us actually. Jason didn't have any appointments, though we thought he did. Both of us made the same mistake in looking at the schedule (a new schedule is printed out each time a new appointment is made, and the old one discarded), and thought there was an appointment. We got up to the clinic and found out that we didn't need to be there we just turned around and left. He wanted to head over to do some shopping for Stacy, anyway. Her birthday is coming up and he was looking for a specific gift. We got to the store and there it was, so the price was good and he bought it. I think I'll make him wrap it, but then again, he'll probably just ask Mom to wrap it, when she gets here on Friday. I ordered  the birthday cake, and was assured it would be ready on Friday, and that was about the extent of all our running around.

We did have one other thing happen, that I thought was pretty cool - Jason was offered an internship with one of the defense contractors. They are local, and the work they are doing is something that is of great interest to Jason, so he is probably going to take it. Of course this would change some of the other plans on where he wants to live, but that's okay - the San Diego area isn't a bad place to settle down, and the girls seem to enjoy the area and weather, too. I'll keep you appraised on what happens, as we get more information and progress is made.

Tomorrow the girls go back to the other home for a couple of days, and then back with us on Friday. We DO have appointments tomorrow, so we will be spending some time at the base. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    That's great that he's been offered an internship! Who knows where it will lead! Sounds like there will be a grand celebration there this weekend! Glad Linda can be there for it!

    2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

    Hi George! I just got done checking out your site and just wanted wish the best for Jason along with all of the military members that keep us safe at night. Being that you involved in the military community, I had a quick question and was hoping you could email me back when you get the chance. Thanks! – emilywalsh688 [at] gmail [dot] com.

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
