Good Evening,

Since the last post mom and dad have both had birthdays (August 3rd and 5th) and both seem to be doing good. Dad had a treatment last Tuesday and he got the pump taken off today. For now, the doctor decided not to do a CAT scan until his tumor markers increase. The current plan is to stick to the same treatment plan.

We spent last week in Florida on a family vacation. We stopped to pick up Ang, Ben, and James on the way down. It was a good time. Lots of sitting on the beach, eating, and of course, fishing. Dad and I went on a 10 hour deep sea fishing trip. We ended up about 43 miles out. I was a little worried that dad was not going to be able to pull it off, but as you can see in the pictures, he did just fine. We caught our limits of Red Snapper, Amberjack, and King Mackerel. We had the privilege of seeing a whale shark (largest living fish species) and a few dolphins on the way back to the marina. We brought back a lot of fish.

I'm so appreciative of the time spent with my family on the trip. The fishing trip was extremely special. While we were on the trip dad passed the one year mark of his diagnosis. It's hard to believe it's been a year.

As always, thanks for the continued support and prayers and I wish you and your families all the best.

Take Care,
