Red Letter Day

Recently, Gus took a very difficult exam that he is required to pass in order to graduate from his program, and he has been anxiously checking the mail (of the snail variety) ever since to find out his results. Students take the test once in their first year and once in their second, and it's a pretest to measure how students will perform on the actual board examinations following graduation.

Today the highly anticipated letter finally arrived and my dear husband, who was worried he would fail the whole thing outright, did far more than just pass the test, he scored in the 97.5 percentile of all CRNA students nationally!

For me, the fact that he not only passed but, in fact, did so incredibly well is concrete proof of just how hard I know he has worked. The exhausting amount of time and energy he has put into his studies and clinical work shows in his score. Every single class from the very humble beginnings up to the sophisticated and independent anesthesia work he doing now has brought him to this watershed moment.

I am truly in awe of Gus and what he has accomplished, and today, even more than usual, I'm as proud as a peacock!
