Locohoma!

We went to Tulsa Oklahoma this week. Jonah called it Locohoma. We looked at houses and drove around the areas where we could live. We found some nice houses and two in particular that we are waiting for more info on before we decide. The kids were pretty good while we were house shopping. We bribed them to be good by promising a good swim session at the hotel afterwards.
We even had a bonifided tornado warning while down there, the sirens went off at 11:30 one night. We got up, turned on the TV and got ready to evacuate the building since we were on the 2nd floor. We are totally used to tornadoes and heavy thunderstorms, but it was a little scary being on the second floor and not knowing where to go for shelter (the hotel main office attendant had no clue!). Luckily, the storm went to the south of us and we didn't have to go anywhere. The lightning was pretty awesome though!

Alan has to take his board test on Monday. So, on this trip I quizzed him for almost the whole trip down and back (7 hrs.) I was reading questions out of his test prep book. We had a few laughs as I tried to pronounce some of the crazy medical terms he has to know. See how you do!

• Papanicolaou smear
• Homonymous hemianopia
• Subsphenoidal
• Transesophageal ecocardiogram
• Nephrolithiasis
• Cholelithiasis
• Staphyloccus aureus
• Serratia marcescens
• Paroxysysmal supraventricular tachycardia
• Camphylobacter
• Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism

Drugs:

• Methotrexate
• Hydroxychloroquine
• Xanthelasma
• Hydrochlorthiazide
• Trimethroprim/sulfamethoxazole

How'd you do? It took me so long to read some of these! I have a new appreciation for the determination it took him to go through school and learn not only to pronounce these things, but to know what they are!
