We’re happy to report that this afternoon Andrew arrived home safely from his three weeks in Ethiopia and his family had a birthday party waiting for him! I chatted on the phone with him while he was waiting for his flight in Detroit, and it sounded like he had a very pleasant time in Ethiopia. I know Isabella will be happy to hear about the friends she left behind.
We’re also happy to report that yesterday David got a wake up call from his future employer at the OHSU, letting him know he had gotten his first choice for his residency in ophthalmology. (This is actually for years 2-4, and he won’t know until March where he will be for year 1.) So congratulations to David!
And you may wonder how our invalid is doing. He’s actually doing fine, but we’re learning the hard way how long it takes to go out the door in the morning when you can’t bend your knees. We’ve been late for everything since this injury! Today I made an appointment with an orthopedist for Jan 26. Gary is looking forward to vegging this long weekend, sleeping in front of the TV with his leg up in the recliner.
