Home Call

I must admit I'm a huge fan of "home call!"  For those that are not familiar it means that Gary is on call, ie needs to be available to answer questions, see patients etc. 24 hours a day, but he gets to do it from our house.  For most of the next 5 years when he is on call he will have to be "in-house" which means he sleeps & eats at the hospital and can't really leave.  Natalie and I plan on going and visiting him or taking him dinner when he is on call as much as we can (which unfortunately won't be very often with how busy he will be) in order to spend SOME time with him.  But with home call we don't have to do that- he can just come home when he is done to eat or hang out with us.  The one downside is that there is a pager in our bedroom that goes off whenever a trauma is brought into Hershey or whenever some has a questions or consult for his service.  Fortunately Natalie sleeps through the pager and I can fall back asleep very quickly.  Hence, we have gotten very spoiled in that Gary started with the ONE service that is all home call!   Too bad he is done with that rotation as of tomorrow, but while it lasted we enjoyed it.   Natalie LOVES to spend time with her Daddy and I must say that I think he is a huge fan of it as well.

Resting with Daddy this afternoon

She looks so sleepy, doesn't she!

Bath time with Daddy, both of their favorites!

Thank you plastic surgery for believing in "home call!"  Thank you Gary for helping out even when you are exhausted.
