I have never looked so forward to a weekend before.

My residents and interns are so sweet -- they're really making my time at DuPont great. My attending physician is really nice too. They expect me to be even more scared than I actually am!

Today I had a two year old patient with seizures and I was there when he was admitted yesterday, presented his case at rounds this morning with what had happened overnight, counseled the mom during the day, and was there when he got discharged (all with only three levels of supervision!). It was really fulfilling to be there for the whole process, and so easy to present his case when I had been there for the whole thing and actually knew what was going on.
I also got to watch him throw a temper tantrum (understandable for a sleep-deprived, sick, two-year-old stuck in a cage of a crib). I thought he was totally out of control until I realized when he threw things, like his diaper, he was extremely careful that they did not hit his mom, because obviously he knew her patience wouldn't go that far.

I am going to sleep sleep sleep, maybe all the way until 9 am tomorrow!!! I'm so excited. Good night!
