This week has been packed with all sorts of things. We started off the week with a nice labor day. I went with Krisanna to her family's bbq while our husbands studied. We came back and prepared a nice meal to enjoy with David, Richard, Allen, and Brian who make up the AFP (Attorneys For the Poor) study group. They studied well into the night past the time Krisanna, Tilly and I went to sleep.
The rest of the week was similar. I don't think a day went by that I didn't spend some time with Krisanna while the boys studied. I can't express how great it is to have someone so close who is going through the same thing. She feels like family and it's so fun to be neighbors!
Richard has been busy! Tuesday he had his first of a weekly preceptorship at OHSU's CHH (Center for Health & Healing) where he shadows a doctor in family medicine. He enjoyed himself and got to work with Dr Daisuke Yamashita who is one of the residents in family medicine, who had also been volunteering with him at the SW clinic the previous week, and had gone to the AAFP National Conference of Residents and Students in Kansas City last month. On Wednesday he has PCM (principles of clinical medicine) and this week he also set up a booth at lunch to get other students involved with the student chapter of PNHP (Physician for a National Health Program) that he is starting--something he is very passionate about. Thursday he went to the work on the ADHD MRI study that he had been working on prior to school--now he gets to continue his research and get credit for it though school. Friday was the regular 8-12 school day as well as a few prossection and cadaver videos and a lot of studying, and a little Tilly time so I could run an errand.
He has his first exam this Monday, and an 8 hour study session set up in the library tomorrow with AFP. I am currently working out a healthy menu for the boys to keep their belly's full and minds focused.
