Hi Mike! Hope your doing well buddy!

Hey Darren. As well as can be expected. Having a rough 6 months lately. Wife was diagnosed with an ultra rare blood disorder called A typical HUS. Drs don't know much about it. She coded a few times in the Hospital. We went to a NY Hospital and they confirmed the diagnoses. She's finally out after being in the Hospital for 6 months. She gets a drip treatment every week. Seams to be working. We went to a seminar in NY for it. Drs are saying there's no cure yet. They are experimenting on one of the patients with a liver transplant. That might take a few years to see if it's helpful. She's up and around. She had to go back to work part time. Disability was giving us a hard time paying for her $50K a week treatments so her work is covering it if she puts in 25 hours a week. Which is really hard for her. But it has to be done.
My tanks went to hell, being at the Hospital and trying to take care of 4 kids by myself. I'm setting up a new 72 gallon bow for her next to her PC where she sits all the time. She has a 40 there now, but an upgrade always cheers you up. Everything else is finally getting back to normal.
How are you and your tanks doing?

Mike I'm truly so sorry to hear about all this, prayers for her health and recovery. If you need anything or just want to hang out and talk please don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

All my tanks are doing great, always some bumps in the road, but I can't complain. I'll have a booth at RAPNY with stan again this years AO been busy getting ready for that. Should be a blast as always. Good hearing from you Mike and God bless.
