The luck of the Irish was with us yesterday!
For the last few months, we have known that March 17th, besides being St. Patrick's Day, was Match Day for my oldest son.
For those not in the medical school world, that means that on that day, he would find out where he will be doing his residency.
While part of his medical school career is nearly over, another part will be starting up.
Wow -- when he started 4 years ago, I remember thinking - that's a long ways off
and here it is . . . time for a new adventure for him and his family. Mr. Tennis and I met Philip, Catherine and Janie at the festivities. You could feel the nervous excitement in the room.
He's going to into pediatrics -- my son, the doctor (just had to say that!!). He matched with his first choice. Bonus -- they don't have to move and are fairly close by!
We're so proud of him and his hard work. Congrats!!
