Step 3

Todd took Step 3 last Friday. What a week that was. He was leaving the house by 8 and coming home by 10 at night. Long days for all of us. He also had one of the hardest days he's had in residency that Thursday. He was so deflated. It seemed as if he felt like he just simply wasn't good enough. I felt just awful. And how awful for him to go into his 8 hour board exam the next morning feeling that way.
Todd called me on the lunch break they are given and his mood was so different from the day before. It was so wonderful to hear him overcoming that discouragement he felt. I was praying for him, family was praying for him, many others were praying for him. I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and love that surrounds us.
We survived last week. And Todd made it home by 8:30 last night, lol! He really gets home by 6:30 most nights this rotation. He just had to stop by at the white coat ceremony for the new residents starting this year. And then he stopped by the grocery store on the way home. He's always willing to help out in that way. He's pretty awesome. Now I just need a mommy break...and I'm sure the kids could use a break from mommy;)
