Sunday has been a nice day, though Linda wasn't feeling well, for most of the day. I was hoping that Jason would spend most, if not all the day in bed, but he had other plans. He went to go visit Kojak, and I can see that it was probably a good thing for the puppy (when Jason comes in there is a distinct attitude improvement with Kojak, and he wants to stay with Jason), I just wish he'd stay down a bit more, for the next several days. He has been up a bit too much, on too many days and the wounds are showing signs of the wear it is causing. I'm doing my best to keep them padded and covered, though the biggest issue is that he simply up on his chair and the extra pressure causes some problems, and the wounds start to open up again. I guess until they do come up with a reasonable seating solution for him, this is simply the way it is going to be.  As a solid plus for the visit with Kojak - it looks like the puppy will be coming home on Monday, tomorrow.

The girls and I had a great day together, though I would have liked to have had a little more time to get them out side. We discovered more fun things to do at Balboa Park, and they were disappointed that we couldn't stay and play, and explore. I told them that the next time we were together on a weekend I would do my best to get them back over to Balboa and we would have some fun there.

Not much else going on - as I fixed a simple chicken and rice dinner, with vegetables, and then got the girls up to take their bath. Linda is starting to feel a little better, so I am hopeful that she will be back up close to 100% tomorrow and be her normal happy self. I am also hoping that I can get another bike ride in, since Jason and I don't have to head over to the hospital  until almost noon. This is the pre-visit for the surgery coming up on the 19th. I'm really not sure what they are going to be doing, but I suspect that the visit won't go too long. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Seems like Linda gets sick a lot. Praying for all of you!
    The Lord is always with you!
    Psalms 3:3-5 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

    Lifting up prayers right now.
    Psalms 4:1, 7-8 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. (7-8) Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

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
