I just wanted to say thanks Dad for a great trip to Phoenix. Ava and I really enjoyed spending time with you and mom. I'm continually inspired by you.

Quick update - Dad is slated to get his feeding tube removed some time this week. This is great news because 1- he doesn't need it anymore, 2- it causes him pain, and 3- mom has to inject it with water daily to keep it clean and it's kind of unnerving to watch, although he says he can't feel a thing. Another milestone on the road of recovery.
