Today started out very relaxed and kind of "normal", whatever that is. We got the girls up and off to school, and they'll be gone for a couple of days, then we'll have them again for the next five. Towards the end of that five day period is the ground breaking for Jason's new house. Actually, the ground breaking ceremony played a big part of today, as Jason and I went to Balboa for his appointments, and while there I checked with as many people I could, to make sure they all were aware of the ground breaking, and all but two of them were. It looks like there is going to be a nice sized crowd and that should make it fun.

Tonight Jason wanted to take us to the movies, so we went and saw American Sniper, and it was not only a very good movie, we actually knew one of the Wounded Warriors in the movie. He is the guy in the wheel chair who is typically dressed in black - for those who saw the movie, he was the "smoker." Funny thing is, we didn't know he was in the movie, until we saw it tonight - and he is going to be here on Friday. I intend to give him a hard time about not telling us. He's coming over to help Jason with his new power chair, so it will be good to see  him for sure.

Tomorrow I intend to get up, a little on the early side, but not too early, and then go for a bike ride. Linda said she is planning to stay in bed for a little while, as this is going to be a nice chance for her to just relax and enjoy it. I don't know what Jason's plans are for the morning, but I'm sure he will be relaxing a bit as well. Thank you, for continuing to support and pray for us. Take care and stay positive.

    Will be interesting to find out why he didn't tell you he was in the movie! That's a pretty big deal!
    Always keep your eyes on your Shepherd! Praying!
    Psalms 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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
