Sorry about the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks. Even though trauma surgery is done and the schedule in emergency medicine for the last three weeks has been better it has still been a lot of hours away from home.

Only twelve more blocks to go in intern year! What a relief it has been to finish my month of trauma and to start back in the emergency room as of tomorrow. The last two weeks have been very difficult emotionally and have caused me to think again about the type of physician [...]

Christo is just about half way done with his first rotation of his intern year, trauma surgery. It has been a long couple of weeks for our family as Christo has spent so much time at the hospital because of how busy the trauma service is at Parkland. It has felt like more than a [...]

Good Saturday evening to all of you reading our blog. We just finished a day with lots of friends and family as we got together to celebrate Karuna’s 4th birthday.
