I’m studying again. Block 3 this time. And as usual with these stressful times, illness threatens us. To procrastinate I just wanted to update here. Zoe has been ill lately, and after three antibiotic shots from the doctor this week (in lieu of liquid medicine, which she absolutely refuses to take, clamps down her mouth, [...]

Sixshty dah-yas!
Y’all! I am totally amazed and touched at the response to my cause. From the bottom of my heart, I am so thankful for the help in not only reaching, but nearly doubling, my original goal. There was a great turnout for the Sprint for Life this morning, and a total of $130,674.70 will bolster [...]

Another push
This Saturday I will be participating in a Sprint for Life with my class to raise ovarian cancer awareness and funds for the M.D. Anderson Blanton-Davis Research Program.

Another munchkin update
We took Zoe for her belated 15 month checkup today. She is 21.5 pounds and 31.5 inches, with a head circumference of 18.5 inches. For some reason we thought her next checkup was at 18 months (that reason being that our Dallas pediatrician told us that would be the next one), though oddly enough she [...]

Did I stutter?!
06.26.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsAfter the unpacking (which is still not entirely finished) comes the more intangible part of settling into our new place. This is a long one, y’all. If you want to skip the long-winded, Blake-centered ranting and go straight to the cute video of Zoe manipulating the iPhone, please be my guest.

How to lose 6 pounds in 36 hours
First, find some sketchy food to eat. Get a short night of sleep. The next day, eat more fruit than you normally would eat, as if it were the only available nourishment. Then spend some time in the heat doing light to moderate manual labor. Go for a long swim. Whatever you do, no matter [...]

Addendum
06.03.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI feel the need to clarify, both as a member of society in general and also as a future physician: I do use soap. I wash my hands probably more than is necessary in a day, and I use hot water and soap. I have worked in a hospital, and I understand the importance of [...]
