OK- Sorry for the confusion with some of the Content on the BLOG.

HOP- Stands for "House Of Pain" and it  is a work out cross fit class that Jason is part of.

HOLD THE ROPE- It is something Kensey's ringette team Believes in VERY much- Go STING!

Please read Below.....

"Hold the Rope" by Yvette Gironard, Head Softball Coach at University of Southwest Louisiana

Every year a college team wins the NCAA title.  Every year an ASA team wins Nationals.  Every year the best high school team in each Division wins the state crown.  All of these team have one thing in common, and contrary to popular belief, gifted, talented, athletes is not the answer.  No matter how tough it became through their season, they did one thing ... they held the rope.
What is holding the rope?  Imagine you are hanging off the side of a cliff with a drop of 20,000 feet.  The only thing between you and a fall to death is a rope, with the person of your choice at the other end.  Who do you know that has the guts to pull you to safety?  Who will hold the rope?
If you can name two people that's not good enough because those two people might not be around.  The next time your team is together, look around and ask yourself, who could I trust to hold the rope?  The look at yourself and ask the same question - who would I hold the rope for?  When you can look at every member on your team and say to yourself that they all would hold the rope, including yourself, you are destined to win a lot of ball games.
You don't have to be the best team on the field to win the game.  I know, I have had two teams that were not the most talented but believed in the rope.  Those were two Women's College World Series teams.
No matter what sport you play, in order to win, you have a commitment to your team.  If you are supposed to run sprints at the end of practice, do it well.  If you have to practice, do it, don't just go through the motions because you are then wasting everyone's time.  Once you start letting up at practice or start missing your workouts, you've killed the team because you didn't hold the rope.  When you need to take your own time to eat right, sleep well and/or rehab, do it so you can hold the rope when your team needs you.  Remember this is a team sport, everyone must be hold the fibers.

I think Jigger has a lot of people HOLDING THE ROPE.... You?

February 17th 2011

Last night was the first night Jigger has been able to sleep through the entire night! So awesome for him to finally have all the tubes out and feeling a little back to normal! Jigger just inhaled supper tonight but had to fight the kids off so it must have been some good stuff tonight.

Some of the Mixer Boys were up tonight and had a good visit but they were distracted with the Help?? They will be back for sure now.

 Jigger had his old buddy from ICU back to do his physio today really likes him! He even had time for a big Nap this afternoon to rest up after his workout!

Uncle Cam made it out from the Coast tonight so everyone was flying high. Cam is a card as you can see from the picture!

Have a great weekend Jigger! All the best Enjoy your the family.

After we left Cadence texted me that they had removed the TRACH...... Yes it is out! They are Very happy up in Edmonton right now about that.

February 9th 2011

Another eventful day in Jigger's world! They were happy with how his first meal went last night so they pulled the feeding tube out so he is on solid food for sure now. The removal of the trake is not to far behind once they are happy that he can clear his lunges on his own.

He got to enjoy another hospital meal tonight with the Kids, they are up for the extended weekend to visit Dad! As you can see from the smiles he is making huge progress! That is not his first glass of WATER either!

Go Jigger!

February 8th 2011

Ok HUGE day today. When we were there Jigger went down for the swallowing test to get a read on where he is. When he came back he mentioned he liked the taste of BARIUM! OK he needs to get something to drink or eat! They were waiting for the doctor to sign off so Jason could have a real meal?

Colette just texted me that he had CHICKEN-BROCCOLI-POTATOES!! And a sip of water that he was dreaming about!! WOW this is real close to getting the trake out.

NEW rules! Or I forgot to read the sign! QUIET time is between 2-4pm everyday!
Room mate ( DAVID) has a call button and is a rule stickler !! Just so you Know! $#$^%$

AWESOME DAY JIGGER! HOLD THE ROPE!

February 7th 2011

Private room is not looking good as of yet? Top of the list they say? May have to ask to see the list! Jigger did get a new GEL pillow today which he thinks if fricking awesome! :) May be he can give the old one to his roommate?
Doc thinks they know how to treat this fever that keeps coming back and that should speed up getting the trake out. He is very confident Jason will have no problems with out it but just want to be 100% ! Physio have taken a long weekend? Mondays tend to start out very slow! Hoping to see them later today yet, they have been doing some stuff with his chest this afternoon,at least it is something! Hurry up and WAIT!
 *#%$&^$#

The Kids are having a sleep over at the cousins tonight,Griffy started his day at noon with Aunty Jackie.Cadence and Ryker are coming out after school to hang out! They need to get some skates sharpened and play with Fletcher and Addy! Looking forward to tonight!

Jigger and Colette had lots of visitors today and with it being the weekend it is great to have time to sit and visit.Jason had time to put on his head phones and rock out with a little ACDC today too. Still hoping to get back in the single room by Monday or Tuesday but he is happy where he got transferred to for now.

February 4th 2011

Big day today for Jigger lots of visitors up to see him!He got bumped to a double room but made some deals to get back to the single room soon. Got a bit of a fever again so had a few tests done to get to the bottom of the problem? Had a new chair again today that let him sit up better and was way more comfortable too! They were going to plug the trake today to see how he makes out breathing through his mouth? All the signs look like he should be able to handle it with no problems. Go Jigger!!!

Colette got a chance to get some fresh air and go out for lunch with Tracy today while Jigger had some guy time with good friends.Grandma Dea is heading up tomorrow to spend some time with Jigger and give him a foot massage. Hope the weekend staff won't take too much training again? Keep pushing on Jason and Colette be strong!

February 3rd 2011

Well the day started out a little rough today! The nurse had a bit of a chip on her shoulder but with in the hour Colette had it all straightened out! Jigger got cleaned up, physio worked him over and he was up in his chair relaxing. Wow got to love the New Colette!! Mom and Dad were up today and got to spend some time with Jason while he was sitting up in his chair.

Looks like next week before the trake will come out but as long as it is a safety concern jason is ok with leaving it in for now. Keep up the fight Jigger and don't take any attitude from those cranky nurses!

Thank you again to everyone for the awesome cards, gifts and personal visits! It is very much appreciated.

February 2nd 2011

Jason and Colette had lots of activity today. Visits from friends and Family most of the day. Jason got a couple tests done with his trake in? Some kind of Almond Milk stuff? He said it tasted like CRAP? They will do additional tests in the next few days to gauge his ability to swallow with out difficulty. Then if all goes well out comes that aweful trake tube then water will be the first thing on Jiggers agenda!

Physio is happy with his progress so far and Jigger keeps pushing on with more reps each day. Colette has the nurse's under control now and has a few hand picked that Jason really likes? The ones that dont take too many Breaks!!

Wishing you another great day tomorrow Jigger! Keep the push on!

Had a good workout with physio this morning and was ready for a nap when we left this afternoon. Still working hard and cant wait to get that Damm trake out so he can have the Big drink of WATER! Just waiting on the green light to get that sucker out which should be in the next couple of days?
Keep on fighting buddy!
