Last weekend, most of us were able to go up to Michigan to celebrate with Micah as he completed his 7 years of general surgery residency! He has been at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and now moves on for 2 more years of specialization in vascular surgery. Granny was unable to make the trip because of her continued back issues, but she certainly enjoyed looking at the pictures and videos we brought back. :)
We were honored to be invited to attend the special dinner for the 6 graduates. It was a very nicely catered meal, followed by awards and speeches from all the chief residents being recognized. Some of them are staying in Ann Arbor after graduation, others are going to various other fellowship programs around the country. Micah will be moving on to a hospital in Chicago, as he wraps up the final phase of his medical training.
It's been a long road with lots of hard work and long hours. Congratulations, Micah, on finishing the program! We love you and will be praying for you as you start your fellowship.

Congratulations! That is no easy task! And, being a Purdue fan, I'll forgive him the whole Michigan thing. ;)

Congrats, Dr. Girotti! I can recall you leaving for college & talking with you about it so many years ago. I continue to pray for you, Micah. May God bless you and direct your steps in the years ahead. Much love to you!
