Graduation

Congratulations, hun!

My wife graduated with her Masters in Anesthesia yesterday.

Words can't express how proud I am of her. Not only did she take upon this 3-year program with gusto, but she also did it in spite of the weekly driving (she had rotations in out-of-town hospitals for pretty much a year, some as far as 3 hours). And, despite her seniors telling her "You can't possibly start a family during this program, it's impossible..." she worked throughout the pregnancy (she was intubating a patient when she went into labor, incidentally) and took only 6 weeks of maternity leave in order to graduate in time with her classmates. She balanced her time between work/study, being a great mom to Allison, and a wonderful wife to a whiny husband. AND, on top of that she found to time to write and publish a medical paper!

Congratulations, honey! We're all so proud of you!
