Hi All

Sorry for not posting for so long but last week was not an easy week.

For some reason, I lost all of my energy. It was as if I had come out of remission and my HCL was back and by Tuesday it had gotten so bad that Theresa insisted I go back to the doctor and I did.

Thankfully my counts are rock solid. WBC was 5.0 and my platelets were at 203,000. So that was not the cause.

Doctor said I probably have a mild viral infection and that was draining my energy. He said if things don't get better in a few to come back.

As of today things are better. However, I definitely need to be aware of my limits. I seem to not have the stamina I used to which is interesting. There is nothing in the literature which discuss this drop in energy post treatment. Yet, at least for me it is real and I have to manage to it.

This is something I am hoping gets better with time. We will have to see. Its just a little wrinkle, no big deal.

I also want to say thanks to my Mom for the birthday party on Saturday. It was great. I am very glad to see 43 and be healthy.

Any way Theresa and Cam are going to watch a movie now and I am going to play my new TOY, which will remain secret until Aaron gets home Saturday.

See you,

Florida Trip

Well I am back!! Cam and I had a wonderful time. It truly was a trip of a life time. We did everything you could imagine. We deep sea fished, Snorkeled off one of the reefs, went sailing on a 34 foot boat, spent the night on a private island, toured Key west and went to Disney World.


Are you kidding me!! It was a fast and furious pace but we both did great and enjoyed every minute. I have attached a few pictures below.

This were we stayed for the week: Florida Seabase

Fantastic facility and a wonderful staff.

Cam Caught 3 fish Deep Sea fishing

I caught some fish also

Snorkeling was amazing Sailing was great! They have very nice boats for the kids to learn on.

All in all the high adventure trip for the boys was a great learning experience and for me and Cam a trip of a life time!!

After leaving Key West we headed north to the Florida Everglades which was very interesting.

We stopped at Kennedy Space Center

Disneyland was the next stop in our trip and we had a wonderful time. It was tough to see everything in 3 days but we did a good job. We even stayed up until 4am riding all the rides we could at the Magic Kingdom. They stayed open late in celebration of the 4th of July. It was great but very exhausting.

Well, hopefully that gives you the flavor of our trip. As I said it was a once in life time experience for me and Cam. As he is getting older these kind of opportunities are few and far between. However, to go on a trip like this is truly unique.

It was worth all the challenges I had to go through to get go on this trip. I made right decisions!!


I was amazed how good I felt all week and kept pace with Cam and the rest of the group. I didn't think about anything but having fun!!
