		<description><![CDATA[As evidenced by my lack of posts for several weeks, we’ve been in the midst of two busy months with the end of my emergency medicine residency and starting a new job working in the ER at Hunt Regional and Presbyterian-Kaufman.  We do have some final pictures from our last days in Herbertpur and our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's the beginning of February and we are having a hard time figuring out if we are still living in Texas or Minnesota.  We have had almost two weeks of sub-freezing temperatures along with ice and snow which have again reinforced for us why we live here and not a 1000 miles further north!  Melissa [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am often amazed by how strong a person's will to live can be.  Of course there are also many patients I have met over the years where I have wondered why they try to claw on to the last bits of their life when they are so ill.  Often times that is a decision a family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean to be courageous? To me it invokes the stories of soldiers conquering distant lands, fighting for freedom, being self-sacrificial but I think I have been more deeply attuned to this quality as I have interacted with many patients as they deal with some of the most saddening and painful experiences of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First a couple of quick updates. We just attended the Global Health Missions Conference (GHMC) that gathers together every year during the 2nd week of November in Louisville, KY. It was a time of much needed spiritual encouragement and a time to meet with several organizations that we have been considering partnering with in order [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the end of July and August has been unbearably hot in Texas.  I believe we've had almost two weeks of greater than 100 degree weather!  Our plants are wilting and so are our spirits as we try to stay indoors as much as possible.  I finally had some time to work on some of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clearly we have not done the greatest job keeping the blog updated over the last two months or so. Hopefully I'll be able to remedy part of that this evening. Since our last update, I've finished two more rotations of intern year, Vivek has gotten to 3 months, we made a 4500 mile road trip [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have not done a great job of keeping the blog updated but I'm going to claim it's all because of three children under 4 in our home.  We are actually doing extremely well and Vivek is growing like a weed.  We had written earlier about how Vivek's bilirubin was elevated when we left the [...]]]></description>
