Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

COVID School

The fall semester is finally underway, albeit quite different than anyone expected.  Our youngest is on a hybrid schedule of 2-days virtual, 2-days in-person.  This cuts the number of students in the school by half so that class sizes are less and the desks can be spread out 6' a part.  Here's her first day of in-person school.

Our oldest started back August 1st with a rotation in family practice.  Instead of going straight to surgery for her second rotation, all med students must quarantine for a week.  So, she got to come home and hang with us.  Here's a nice lunch date with my two sweet girls.

While home on her break, she brought her suture kit to practice her stiches and knot technique.  We all thought it was fun to try, too!

Missing our son, we decided to take a weekend trip to Columbia for family time.  His roomate has all virtual classes this semester, so Luke spends most of his time working out or doing ROTC activities when classes are over.  He welcomed our visit and was happy to play a bit of golf with Eric while the girls did some shopping.

We also stopped by Ashlyn's place in Orangeburg to meet the lady she's renting a room from.  Ms. Patsy is a sweet 90 year old and my new inspiration!  I'd love to have her same energy, conitive ability, and independence when I reach that milestone.  And boy does she love having two med students live with her!  It's a win for everyone!
