Daughter’s defense

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Daughter did a great job defending her Senior paper on materials used in the Abiocor® replacement heart. We were a small crowd but she kept us on the edge of our seats with clear explanations and a super overhead presentation. Her guiding instructor was very much with her every minute of the presentation, but the “outside expert” played the devil’s advocate asking some tough questions (and several that were off subject) but Daughter took a deep breath, brushed back her hair, and gave a logical and clear defense of her 30 page paper.


I had the camera ready for the moment, then realized that the thing won’t function WITHOUT BATTERIES. My heart failed me.

Now we wait for the results… Hearts racing, of course.

I leave for Burundi tonight. We covet your prayers. I may be able to post once or twice, so don’t give up on Evendays.
