White coat

A couple weeks back my sister had a white coat ceremony...a big step in her journey to becoming a Physicians Assistant. The ceremony signifies that she and her classmates are finished with their coursework and now are onto their clinical rotations...officially adorned in their white coats! Sadly, this was the weekend we were in Blanco, so we weren't able to be there. BUT, we were cheering her on in spirit and Ellen we are SO PROUD of you! You have accomplished so much and now you get to put your knowledge to actual work...the fun part! You are going to be unbelievably good at this and I am so excited to see what area of medicine you are most interested in!



Even though her rotations will be hard, stressful, and demanding (I would immediately fail the part when you have to do night rotations!) one good part is that she will be doing one four week rotation in Lewisville. This means that for the whole month of January 2010 she will be living with us...YAY!!!!! So excited about that!
