Paul is doing his second day of surgery with Dr. Davi in the urology department of Baptist Hospital here in Miami. His first day, he got to sit in on 5 surgeries, not from a viewing area, but right in the room! He said it was very cool, but he still doesn't want to do surgery himself. I'm not sure what things he will see today, but the conversation over dinner is becoming more and more interesting with each rotation he does. :)
The hospital he is at, is more like a resort. It is beautiful. Perfectly landscaped, and stretches a few blocks long. It hardly resembles a hospital and it's pretty close to where we live so Paul rides his bike there some days, and some days I give him a ride.
After a long day of surgeries, post ops, fancy lunches and rides in expensive doctor cars, Paul comes home and plays with the boys. They are so in love with their daddy and just eat up every second of time they get with him. Paul is going to be a great doctor. I just know it. He is already able to balance his rotation schedule, plus studying for the STEP, plus really good quality time with his family. I am allowed to brag, especially since it's all true. :)
We are all LOVING 5th semester here in Miami. It isn't Michigan, so we aren't freezing to death, and it is America, so we get all the conveniences we were missing in Dominica. The weather is beautiful, the schedule is way more relaxed, the people are very friendly, and we are so happy to be here.

This post is so inspring girl!!! I always worried that it's impossible for a med student/future doc to spend quality time with the family but that is clearly not the case!!! I love reading your blog :)

It is SOO freezing to death her in Michigan! Blast. I wish I was in Miami.
This semester is a lot more fun now that they are actually doing more doctorish things. Glad you guys are enjoying Miami!
What a wonderful life! And it's so good that you are enjoying each phase for what it is. Some people would be living in the future, wishing they were done already. But that's not healthy. You are enjoying the present, which is what life is. You wouldn't want to miss all this, by focusing on the future. I'm so proud of you both, and so happy for you too.
yay! the boys are so cute- I love the matching of Hawken's shirt to Paul's tie. I love that you are so close to me (even though we have not hung out as much as I would like- hopefully after this kid comes) and the surgery part is soooo fun isn't it- I used to just wait for J to come home or call- I feel like they are finally getting to experience the joys of DR. instead of the joys of books!
