These pictures are a fair representation of Intern year thus far. Not because Trevor is hanging out at home and napping! But because when he finally does get home from the hospital(sometimes from a 30+ hr shift) he often sits down to talk or play with the kids and then quickly drifts off to dream land. Unfortunately for him even sleep doesn't often bring rest. He dreams he's at the hospital and his patient is "coding" (dying), or his attending (the MD over him) is yelling at him etc. One night Campbell was crying and Trevor was looking at him and trying to figure out why he wasn't intubated... scary!
He has been working so hard. We recently found out that the University of Louisville Hospital has the largest gunshot registry. He has seen CRAZY, NASTY, and SCARY stuff!
I was talking to him today while he was at the hospital and I told him that the "service engine soon" light came on in the van. He quickly asked, "Is the blood pressure...uh...I mean oil pressure low?" We laughed. Hopefully more sleep will come soon.

I love this post! So funny! Poor Trevor.
Ooohh, my heart goes out to you Trevor! You are always in our prayers! I cannot imagine how you do it!
I can TOTALLY relate. Every time Steve would sit down, he would be out within five minutes. It became a running joke with our home teachers, because he would be asleep before they could get the first five words of the message out! And the crazy outcries--they never go away. But, they do make for a good laugh!
