 Things I've learned:
- Looking in ears, especially itty bitty babies, is hard!
- I actually did learn some things on my ENT rotation
- I can recognize tympanosclerosis, fluid levels, and nasty effusions
- 120 pounds on a 4 year-old is WAY too much
- 120 pounds on a 7 year-old is too much
- Palatal petichiae is pathopneumonic for strep throat
- Little kids who suddenly start wetting the bed are quite often constipated
- Looking for a house is fun
- Thinking about buying a house a little stressful.
- Applying for a loan and temporary medical license is annoying and stressful.
- I LOVE PEDIATRICS!!!!
- I am thankful for my family and friends.
- I'm excited about my residency family
- I'm excited about WICKED in June with Sarah
- I am weak
- I can't do anything on my own
- I need God to give me strength and direct me

I started my pediatric ambulatory month on Wednesday.  I LOVE it!  I always get nervous going into something after I haven't done it for a while.  What if I've forgotten how to do it?  No worries...this is totally what I'm supposed to do.  Yesterday, we had a fundraiser at a local pizza place...I sat with Sarah and some of the peds residents.  So comfortable and fun!  Makes me even more confident and excited about next year...gonna be fun.  I'm so thankful that Sarah and I will be working together (or at least in the same program as interns don't often work together) for three more years.  I'll keep you updated on the goings on of intern life!
