So now I feel ALMOST comfortable knowing what to do to resuscitate a dying baby or child...thank goodness for ACLS! I already know all the heart rhythms, drugs, and defibrillation/cardioversion stuff which made it a lot easier - I just had to learn doses and the exact algorithms. Hopefully I won't have to use it this month, but doing the neonatal resuscitation made me excited about newborn nursery. I can't wait for the OBs to hand me new little life to take care of :-) EXCITING!
We've had a fun time getting to know all the other interns and their families this week! Dinner on Monday was lots of fun as well as the Hail and Farewell dinner on Thursday night. Tonight we have a pool party at our program director's house which should be fun as well! I'll post some pics of all these events soon.
I FINALLY got my 3rd Hawaii album posted! For those of you (Julia) going to Oahu soon, that is were all our Oahu pics are.
Jonthan has picked up a few hours of tutoring this week, but is otherwise just taking it easy and counting down the days until he starts Internal Medicine (he starts on Hematology/Oncology July 2nd).
We are SO PROUD of Philip!!!!!!! He made a 1470 on his SAT on his first try. Such a smarty pants :-)
Alexander takes his Step I on Tuesday, so I've been trying to keep him alive by taking him food, drinks, and vitamins.
Emily finished first year of med school on Friday!!! HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!! We're so proud of you and how well you've done this year. You're great...but you'd better call me!
Last but not least, the Shih Tzus are doing well and enjoying their lazy summer.
Love to everyone and hope to see you all soon!

Indiana and start of Intern year
So we went to my cousin John's wedding this past weekend in Indianapolis. It was FABULOUS!!!! Not only do I love my new cousin Jenn (way to go John! Such a beautiful, bright, and all-round wonderful person), but the wedding itself was amazing. It was probably the most meaningful and touching ceremony I've ever attended. The reception was so lovely with great food and lots of fun dancing the night away. Thank you guys so much for such a great time!!!! Best wishes for a long, happy life together.
In other news, I started my orientation today for residency. We're almost done with Neonatal Recusitation. It's pretty scary actually. Seeing a video of an actual 23 wk old baby was a little bit shocking and really hope not to have to resucitate super premature babies right away! I'll be really happy with nice fat, juicy, 38 weekers :-)
I STILL haven't gotten the third set of our Hawaii pics up yet, but I'll work on that this week and post them.
We hope everyone is doing really well and having a great summer!!

We're Home!
Hi Everyone! We're back home from Hawaii as of yesterday. After sleeping 16 hours last night, I feel much more normal and rested. I got most of the unpacking and laundry done today which made me a lot more relaxed. Also, the bathroom is alllllmost done so I got to clean up the rest of the house too which was fantastic!
We had such an incredible time on our trip. We did SO MUCH STUFF!!! It was also really wonderful to spend such a long time together as a couple with no distractions or responsibilities...just fun and relaxation :-) So far we both agree it was our best vacation ever. I think it's impossible to describe everything we saw and did, but I'll try to give a mini-outline with some of the high points. Hopefully they will correspond with the pictures that I posted on our web album (WARNING: I took a LOT of pictures....over 1,000 actually. However, no fear, I didn't post them all. Anyone who would like to see the unabridged version is welcome to come over any time and take a look :-)
Day 1:
-Travel to Hawaii (8 1/2 hr flight)
-Checked into our hotel and I was asleep by 5:30PM local time
Day 2:
-Woke up EARLY!
-Went for an early morning stroll on the beach in front of the hotel and explored the hotel grounds (which were very pretty!)
-Went to breakfast at the hotel with a talk about island activities
-Headed west to the Spouting horn (bought lots of souvenirs and presents as well as some good island music!)
-Visited the BEAUTIFUL National Tropical Botanical Gardens
-Drove along Poipu Beach, stopping at the house we stayed in as kids (Hale Kai) and at the spectacular Hyatt
-Stopped at Hilo Hatties to pick up our Hawaii Gold Card (for discounts) and some more music and presents
-Went to Lydgate Park and swam in the lovely ocean
-After cleaning up, headed to a fantastic dinner theater of South Pacific (filmed on Kauai)
Day 3:
-Helicopter tour of the entire island which was too spectacular for words (best parts were Na Pali Coast and Mt. Wai'ale'ale which is the wettest place on earth, making for hundreds of glorious waterfalls)...both of our first helicopter ride
-Visited Wailua and Opaeka'a waterfalls
-Visited Keahua Arboretum (really pretty and unusual painted eucalyptus trees and the field where they filmed the velociraptor scene running through the fields of Jurassic Park)
-Hiva Pasifika Luau which was lots of fun (Jonathan got to try poi for the first time and really like it)
Day 4:
-Breakfast at the famed Ono's family restaurant where Jonathan enjoyed "the best pancakes I've ever had" - banana, coconut, macadamia nut pancakes topped with coconut, bananas and homemade coconut syrup. Yum!
-Hiked the Na Pali coast - 2 miles to the beach, 2 miles to the waterfall, and then back. Including breaks and swims at the beach and waterfalls, it took 8 HOURS! It's incredibly rocky and most of it you can't just walk, but have to climb boulders and roots, etc....I was more than a little tired when we got back but it was definitely worth it for the most breathtaking scenery imaginable
-(After cleaning up) Dinner at the North Shore's Bar Acuda which was good but massively overpriced. Worth it however since we were seated next to Pierce Brosnan and his family and across from Kendall from "All My Children." Let's just say the food didn't have to be fantastic for me to have a good time :-)
-Ice cream to supplement dinner at Lappert's (Rosalani homemade Hawaiian ice cream is a must!)
-Watched the sunset over Bali Hai from the Princeville resort
Day 5:
-Breakfast at the hotel followed by a long soak of very achy muscles in the hot-tub, followed by long swim in pool
-Rented snorkel gear and headed to Tunnels beach (which is quite spectacular) for several hours of fantastic snorkeling (in addition to tons of pretty coral and fish, we saw several "honu" or green sea turtles which swam right up to us)
-Back to the hotel for a massage (for Sarah)
-Dinner at JJ's Broiler on Kalapaki Beach (amazing "salad bar" brought to the table...we filled up on that and didn't really eat any of our dinners :-)
Day 6:
-Drove to the Wiamea Canyon, the "grand canyon of the Pacific" (Amazing!)
-Drove to the end of the road and the Koke'e state park, stopping at all the incredible lookouts
-Lunch at the Koke'e Lodge (VERY good food!)
-Back to the hotel for a long nap
-Dinner at the Shutter's Lounge where there was an amazing live singer. Jonathan requested my two favorite Hawaiian songs for me: "Going to a Hukelau" and "Sweet Leilani"
-Clothes washing and "Lost Cities" playing
Day 7:
-Memorial Day
-Fly to Maui
-Settle into our hotel on the South Shore, get some dinner and then ice cream at "Peggy Sue's"
-Went to "Big Beach" and laid in the cool sand watching the far away rain on the island of Molokai'i and the beautiful water
-Drove to the Makena State Park to watch the sunset. On the way, we saw the most amazing rainbow we'd ever seen! It was right up close and you could see where it started on the mountain and where it ended (and was reflected) in the ocean. Then we noticed that it was a DOUBLE rainbow, one on top of the other...quite incredible...take a look at the pics! It was overwhelming with this amazing sight in one direction and the most amazing sunset I'd ever seen in the other direction....God really knows how to overwhelm us with beauty!!!!
Day 8:
-A SUPER early morning, waking up at 2 AM to drive up the Haleakala Crater to watch the sun rise. The drive up was the most spectacular we had ever seen. There was a full moon, and as we wound up the road we went up past the clouds and were looking at them, moonlit, from above. It was clear over ocean and the view of Maui was incredible. When we reached the top, I saw my favorite view of the whole trip - the stars - with no light around, up so high, they were absolutely amazing. It looked like someone had sprinkled the sky with glittering sand...there were SO MANY!!! (I wrote all this out because I don't have any pictures...my stinky camera wouldn't take ones in the dark :-( Thank goodness I forced Jonathan to wear warm clothes and bring a blanket...it was chilly. The sunrise was so beautiful (see pics)
-Drive down the mountain (notable for driving several miles through purple trees that were shedding their petals so that it was like driving through purple rain)
-Breakfast by the beach in Maui
-NAP!
-Sugar cane museum (had to find out about my favorite food and was given a sample :-)
-Swim at Wailea beach
-Dinner at Pupu Lounge
-Our first (and best) Shave Ice experience!
Day 9:
-Woke up early to get to Pacific Whale Foundation Snorkeling trip. First stop at Molokini crater where the water was royal blue and the visibility on a bad day is over 50 feet! Then on to Lanai'i where weren't able to snorkel because of big swells, but could look at the beautiful island. Then to Coconuts on Maui's West coast were we saw electric colors of coral and a HUGE green sea turtle (over 3 feet long!). On the way back we saw several large pods of dolphins. The first ones were bottlenosed and we saw a little baby one which was so cute. The second were over 300 spinner dolphins who swam right up to the boat (see lots of pics) and put on quite a show!
-Wonderful Dinner at Cafe O'Lei on the South shore
Day 10:
-Started early on the trip east on the "Road to Hana." We stopped in Paia at Charley's where Jonathan enjoyed his "chocolate, macadamia nut, caramel bread pudding French toast" (as usual, I was boring and had eggs, but ended up just sharing his).
-The road to Hana is quite something! Unfortunately it is so curvy and driving is slow and tricky so it can't be photographed as you're going along, but we did stop many times and take many little detours which were all spectacular. It was so beautiful driving through the ferns and bamboo forests and the hundreds of waterfalls with the beautiful water on the other side. My favorite though was the smell...Lilikoi (passion fruit) are a ubiquitous plant and hundreds fall and are crushed on the road so the air smelled like passion fruit. Also, Ginger was in season and the big ginger blossoms also made the air so fragrant.
-Checked in at the Hana Kai Resort (no air-conditioning, phone, TV, but that didn't matter at all - the cool sea breeze and fan kept us quite cool and watching the ocean from our balcony was plenty entertaining)
-Dinner at the Hotel Hana-Maui (fabulous, but expensive!)
-Game night!
Day 11:
-Drove the Hana road the other way
-Watched the windsurfers on Hookipia bay (looked like colorful butterflies flitting across the water)
-Lunch at Mama's Fish House (we were thinking this name sounded pretty casual and were a little surprised to find complimentary valet parking....and even more surprised at the restaurant and prices....we had accidentally stumbled into one of the fanciest and most fabulous places to eat on the island) it broke the bank for a few days, but was SO SO SO worth it!!!! The setting, restaurant, and beach there were the prettiest we saw on the island! (Plus an amazing menu)
-We checked into our condo in Kaanapali Beach and only ventured out to split a $5 "Maui Taco" and watch the sunset before we headed to bed
Day 12:
-Day of REST!!!!
-Grocery store
-Watched TV
-Cooked lunch
-Minor exploration of the area
-Watched sunset on the beach
-TV
-BED!
Day 13:
-Woke up relatively late
-Rented Snorkel gear and headed to the famous Kaanapali Beach (Best Beach in America per the Travel Channel). Except for very hot sand, it really deserves the reputation. BEAUTIFUL! Along one side is "Black Rock" which literally teems with tropical fish and coral. It was like swimming through swarms of fish! We spent a looong time in the water and swam for even longer after snorkeling (and re-application of sunscreen of course....for those of you whom I know would ask :-)
-Drive further around the west coast and more beaches, swimming and snorkeling at Honalua Bay
Day 14:
-Flight from Maui to Oahu
-Lunch at Sam Choy's (they had really good seafood and Jonathan enjoyed a "cream ale" from their brewery which he really liked)
-Drive through downtown Honolulu and Waikiki (such a fun and unusual place!)
-Checked into our hotel on Waikiki beach
-Watched a beautiful fireworks display on Waikiki beach (we had super lucky timing!)
-Nighttime stroll down Waikiki beach (an amazing thing to have such a residential city right next to such a beautiful beach, and such a pretty skyline!)
-Stroll back to the hotel via all the pretty shops (where Jonathan, against my will but very much to my excitement, bought me a beautiful bracelet! It's 3 colors of gold plumeria flowers and I will treasure it always)
Day 15:
-Wake up early (actually Jonathan did and had to make a Starbucks run to pry me out of bed :-)
-Drive to North Coast....unbelievably beautiful. I was so sorry we didn't spend more time there. There were miles and miles and miles of to-die-for beaches which were totally deserted! We say few if any hotels so I guess that's the reason. I think you'd probably have to rent a house to stay there.
-Dole pineapple plantation - this REALLY pleased my inner-child! We rode a little train though the plantation, walked through their huge gardens, ate super tasty pineapple sherbert, and enjoyed the smell of pineapples EVERYWHERE!
-Picnic lunch on Hukielau beach (my favorite of all the north shore beaches we saw)
-Horseback ride at Kualoa Ranch. This was Jonathan's first time on a horse, and he had so much fun on "The General." The ranch is breathtaking (as evidenced by all the pictures I took of it) and has been used in innumerable movies (Godzilla, Lost, 50 First Dates, Jurassic Park, Tears of the Sun, etc) and we got to see lots of the sites.
Day 16:
-Pack up for the trip home (including an extra suitcase devoted to goodies for our souvenirs and presents for the people back home!)
-Visit the Bishop museum (very interesting Hawaiian history exhibit!)
-Lunch at the Aloha Towers (and browsing though the unaffordable, but pretty shops)
-The Falls-of-Clyde Ship and museum (didn't get to spend much time here)
-Redeye flight back home!
Day 17:
-Arrive home
-Ecstatic reunion with the Shih Tzus
-Sleep
