Kick back and relax kinda day. I made breakfast and a short while later we went off to Costco for a shopping trip. I wanted to go earlier in the day so that I could possibly watch the NFL playoff games, and as it turned out, I did. I didn't want to do too much, mostly because I am starting to feel much better and I didn't want to over do anything to just get sick again. Now I just have to deal with this darn cough for the next two weeks (that's generally about how long it takes for me to get rid of it) then I should be completely back to 100%, or very close to it.

We got back from Costco about 20 minutes before the first game, and that gave me the time to put away all the items we purchased. The game started and played out pretty much the way I expected it to, with the Broncos being the better team. They are an experienced team with a bunch of talent, and Manning is playing at the top of his game. Now with the second game of the day, the one I was more concerned about; it didn't end the way I had hoped. It began well enough and the 49ers held their own, the first half. Even the second half looked like it was going to be okay, but then they started to fail. Collin made a couple of bad choices and performance by a couple of players was not at the level I had hoped. There were also a couple of bad calls, and even a missed fumble recovery that might have helped, but over all the game was lost on their own accord. As for the Super bowl... well, I really don't care who wins, but my guess would be that the Broncos are going to take it.

Okay, that is about all for the day today, and tomorrow is a federal holiday, so we don't have to go in, though there is formation on Tuesday morning. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Well I'm definitely a Seahawks fan but was upset about the calls, too. When reffing at this level you expect more from them! And actually that fumble "non" call didn't end up making a difference because the 49ers got the ball the next play and in better field position. I didn't think the Seahawks played the way they had all year so was pretty surprised that they pulled it out.
    Whatever lies ahead, the Lord is with you! Praying!
    Psalms 32:8, 10-11 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (10-11) Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

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
