What a long strange trip it's been

I am at a loss for words to describe the experiences I have had this week. Anyone who knows me understands this is a statement in itself. This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. We touched many lives this week, both in and out of the operating room, but I hope that we can make even bigger changes in the future.

We have been embraced wholeheartedly by the hospital staff and much of the community as friends and colleagues. One thing I am sure of is that the 28 of us who took this journey together will forever be connected to each other. I am honored to be part of this team.

Thank you all.
