Thank God I'm a Country Boy!! Yee Haw!!!
I'm so excited for my brother, Chris, and his fiance, Nina. First, they recently got engaged and the wedding date is tentatively March 8, 2008. Secondly, they both just moved to Houston from Philly a few weeks ago. My brother is a pediatric cardiologist - who just finished his fellowship in catheterization [for the past year he has been doing a lot of research on pigs' hearts]. He is done with "schooling/training" at 36 yrs old and we couldn't be prouder! Nina, also a doctor, is a pediatric endocrinologist [diabetes, growth issues, etc.] They both got positions at Texas Childrens Hospital - which is part of Baylor College of Medicine. So Chris and Nina rented an apartment - with a 7 month lease - in the hopes of getting to know the area first before buying. Well *that* didn't take long. They close on their first Texan home - Aug. 23! It is a beautiful spacious pad for these two docs! Take a look. Sincerely -congratulations you two. All that blood, sweat, tears and time has really paid off. We love you!

Hey Shelly,
So I'm a pediatric cardiologist, and I finished an extra year of training in catheterization. Cautery is burning stuff to make it stop bleeding, whereas catheterization is using catheters to do cool stuff in the heart! You got it right with Nina: she's a pediatric endocrinologist -- diabetes, growth/puberty issues,etc. We will both be working at the Baylor College of Medicine -- the Texas Children's Hospital is a part of Baylor College of Medicine, and we will both be part of the med school faculty! Cool, huh?
BTW, I'm impressed with your use of links to websites. And also impressed with the static cling of Charlie's hair!
Thanks! I actually knew it was cath- as opposed to caut - i think that's what my spell check suggested and i didnt really pay attention.
