Nov 17, Saturday, The Basement

Amazing how small Lindsey's room can feel on a Saturday afternoon.  I have gone home a few times but Stacy and Lindsey have been here the whole time. After 6 months here and 5 months on the list, it just feels a bit tight in here.  Honestly......sometimes Lindsey does not want to do another craft, she what's to get out of here!  She was pretty sad today when the family went to the Stanford Cafeteria and she couldn't go.  They still haven't cleared her for the extended walks.  Today that really got her down. We all rallied behind her and she does understand. 

Took the girls to their 2nd Lightning Basketball practice. They have practice on Tuesdays and Saturdays, then games start every Saturday in December.

Also took the boys on a long walk / run / adventure. We explored around the hospital Stanford side, and found a maintenance hallway in the basement.  It was a long dark hallway with locked cages and chain link fencing on the sides.  There was also used medical beds and equipment and even a CPR dummy.  Great place for the next spook alley.  I suggested to the boys that that may be where they take little boys who don't act very nice, or maybe there were lots of bones and old people in the cages. That had Hunter and Gage right by my side.  If someone would have walked out they would have flipped.  I was having fun with it.  Some would say that was kinda mean, but they had been driving me nuts!

How about them Aggies! Go Utah State!  (To bad about them cougs, bummer;) There was a lot of buzz around here about the Oregon / Stanford game. Wow that is a bummer.

Thanks for the Cougs shout out... Too bad our QB failed epically in the red zone... AGAIN! I may have to become an Aggie fan to save my sanity during football season!

Jason, I so love to read your Blog every day. We never know what is going on in your world? I'm glad one of you can get away for some R and R but I know you get some work done too.
We are going to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving with Theresa and Calvin and the Boys, James and Rachelle and Alexus (Kevin has to work this year so he can't come with us) But its a far cry from our good old Thanksgivings at the Forth Ward Church with all the Binghams and The Roaches, with the fun basketball games, pictures and all the fun things we used to do..
We still pray every minute of everyday for a new HEART for Lindsay and for the donor family. Take care of you and and Stacy and your family.
Love you, Jay and Bonnie

Oh Jason you are awesome and I can't say that I wouldn't have enjoyed a little bit of that spooky hallway humor!!! I can only imagine the thoughts that were going through their heads.....HELP, HELP, HELP and then some! Everyday I pray for Linsdey to be greeted with new opportunities to live her life with more freedom....of course it is one day closer to receiving a new heart, which will be a glorious and blessed day, but until then she needs those opportunities of freedom! I loved that the PT ladies came up with the Minute to Win It games for a bit of a change....great job!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and especially for patients in need and for donor families to have strength and love to give a precious and priceless gift. May He watch over, guide, and protect these families and children. Loves, hugs, and many sincere prayers--xoxoxoxo
.P .S. May the walls and rooms feel larger than life this Sunday.....for comfort and peace!! :)
