acceptance

-we are accepting what has happened

-we are mad/frustrated at the air force for blind siding us with this since we never new this was even a possibility: dave got a deferred (civilian) PGY1 spot which equals worst case scenario and he will need to apply to these programs, he will have to withdraw his name from the civilian residency match and basically enter a different 'match'...crappy, just crappy. More work but we have come to terms with it...God works in mysterious ways and there must be a reason for this sudden shock to our systems.

-dave will be applying to PGY1 programs across the country that are still accepting applications (similar to him applying to residency programs)

-in January time frame, dave will be busy interviewing for the PGY1 spots

-we will find out march 15th where dave 'matches' for his PGY1 (works like the residency match, but now he is applying to PGY1 programs).

-after the PGY1 year, dave will decide between applying to residency programs again or doing flight medicine with the AF...not too sure about any of that, but this PGY1 will only prepare dave to be a better doctor in the end.

-i know it seems confusing but i hope this helps to explain what has happened.

-we were hoping for answer yesterday, but i feel like we got more questions.

-Truth: God is in control and He will put us where we need to be.
