Greetings on a very hot Sunday.
Harriet and I spent the weekend with our youngest son and his family. Those of you who have read this blog for a while may remember that our youngest grandchild, Clark, was born a little more than three years ago, when Dave and Kelly were working in New York City. Clark was diagnosed prenatally with a coarctation of the aorta and underwent successful surgical repair at one week of age. Following that inauspicious start to his life, he has developed beautifully in all possible ways. He is now a bona fide terror, and we simply couldn’t be happier about it. He was and remains our miracle baby.
Last week was notable for our 24th annual Men’s Event, held for the first time at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda. The setting was simply spectacular, and I think it was the best Men’s Event we have ever had. The cancer briefing was provided by Dr. Mohit Gupta, a urologist who described robotic prostatectomies using the DaVinci Robot. He illustrated the procedure with an actual video that beautifully demonstrated the complexity and unbelievable technology that makes this procedure feasible, effective and safe. It was a tour de force, and provided an oddly compelling pre-meal treat for the event’s attendees. More proof that miracles happen.
Every day, we perform miracles, in the clinic, in the OR, in the lab and in the classroom. Be that miracle this week and make the world a better place.
Lou
