Great time in LA for ASM this weekend! 💜

Amazing work being done by @ryanshields.bsky.social & @jimrhodes.bsky.social re: cefepime TDM & clinical application to prevent neurotoxicity! @sidpharm.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social PK/PD workshop 🔑TDM informed their dosing guide, and they were able to reduce overall cefepime exposure!

@ccvolk.bsky.social teaching us about TDM of dapto, dalba, and orita @sidpharm.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social PK/PD conference! 🔑 Consider flat based dosing of dapto 🔑 You may be able to extend abx coverage duration by 2 wks by giving 1.5g dalba x2 but 21 days apart 🔑Orita: still limited data

Spring is coming!

Does Daniel Tiger have an episode on why toddlers shouldn't fingerpaint the walls with their own poo instead of napping? Asking for a friend... #sendmorelysol

Such a welcome respite from difficult times. You could hear 2,000 people collectively holding their breaths and hanging onto each note... #Yo-YoMa #MemphisSymphonyOrchestra

Trying to find peace in a number of things including obligatory holiday crafting... Finally finished toddler's handprint Christmas ornament!

Strangest reason to not be able to complete Citi training... 🙄

Toddler at 2am... "I ready to wake up now" Me today...

"We do not do these things because they are easy, we do them because we THOUGHT they would be easy and now we care too much about them to stop" @hankgreen.bsky.social speaking so much truth! Through his company, you can buy ethically grown coffee while also battling TB! good.store/collections/...

In a world where everything seems like it's on fire... I hope woodland creature cupcakes will make someone smile!

Picture from daycare today-little girls in dresses and leggings standing next to my child in a spider man costume bc she's a super hero. You go girl. Be a super hero today!

Trying not to laugh at toddler's increasingly frantic, "no thank you"s as she tries to be polite but also assert that she does NOT want to go potty before bedtime!

Loved getting to see toddler (L) have so much fun with her cousins this Christmas!

How often are ppl using the "self cleaning" cycle on their ovens? Google says Q4-6 mo, but that seems excessive...?

UPMC & Pitt are looking for a Medical Director, System Antimicrobial Stewardship! This person will partner with Dr. Graham Snyder, Tina Khadem, & myself to lead 37 US-based hospitals' antimicrobial stewardship and infectious diseases quality efforts. #idsky #medsky cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...

Director: "Want to sing for Christmas Eve service?" Me: "Sure! I love Christmas Carols!" A week before, finds out it STARTS at 9 pm and call time is 7:30...

Toddler has started calling the living room the playroom... W/o us ever calling it that... Like, yes, I know 25% of the room is consumed by your trampoline, & your toys are strewn across the floor, & the couch pillows are your fort, but... Fracking A... The living room is your playroom, isn't it...

Interesting factoid before the holidays! 🎄 Pleurodesis is a procedure to remove the pleural space & prevent a recurrent pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Doxy can be used as chemical pleurodesis-esp. as treatment for symptomatic malignant pleural effusion pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....

No NOLA trip is complete w/o a visit to Morning Call! Frozen coffee & fresh beignets are great! Then we toured Abita brewery & visited the Abita Mystery House. Fun fact-"Abita" comes from the Choctaw word "Ibetap", meaning "springs". Also, weird stuff in tap room-"Mother Shucker" made w/ oysters!

The NOLA city tour continues! #thespottedcat #Lafittes #Streetband

It doesn't get more NOLA than eating a muffuletta in Jackson square while listening to a jazz street band in the background! My heart is happy!

After 3 years of being closed due to Hurricane Ida, Central Grocery officially opens again tomorrow, but we got in for a sneak peak at the soft opening today!

More fun in NOLA after the conference! #preservationhall #celebrationattheoaks #SazracHouse #MegumiSushi

Having a blast learning at ASHP (with @bryanpwhite.bsky.social) and exploring NOLA-Sazerac house, City Park lights

Husband hard at work while I'm learning at midyear-I love a good Mitered edge!

So happy to see the amazing @moorewjustin.bsky.social and Caleb Rux at the @sidpharm.bsky.social and ACCP ID PRN Meetup tonight (even if the lighting was funky...)

So excited for this PK/PD workshop! The speakers are fantastic, and topics are top notch! I miss ICAAC so much and am so glad @sidpharm.bsky.social and @escmid.bsky.social are bringing it back!!

it’s the happiest Thursday because @sidpharm.bsky.social and the @escmid.bsky.social PK PD study group are bringing back ICAAC (in spirit)!!!! Registration will open next week! The Midwest in the summer is magical - come join us! sidp.org/page-1543694 #idsky #amssky #pharmsky

Helped Rob rip this beauty yesterday, and he did a dry fit in the basement today!

2 is crying bc she doesn't want to take a nap... I'm about to cry bc I want one!! #sleepregression has been killer lately...

Turns out there are vision tests for chickens, and our favorite girl failed hers today... 😭

Turns out I missed my calling... what's the need for professional axe throwers these days?

Caught this red- headed beauty on our window bird feeder this morning! 💜

As we enter cookie baking season, a new lesson learned fm an 1890s recipe. Potash- once an ingredient in recipes- refers to potassium -containing products and is the basis for the word "potassium". Now used in fertilizer 😲 Also, this guy finds the coolest old recipes! youtube.com/shorts/bTmI_...

You've heard of Histoplasmosis, but have you heard of HistoplasMOMAs?? A pulmonary nodule caused by a granulomatous reaction to Histoplasmosis and which can be mis-diagnosed as malignancy! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Trying to make lemonade over here and using this as a teaching opportunity about brushing teeth...

Can confirm- she did NOT eat them...

Spent 1.5 hrs this weekend chopping and sautéing veggies and making these feta vege egg cups for my toddler. I'd say 50/50 she'll actually eat them... 🙄

In laws coming to visit next weekend, so it's time to scrub the tub and the baseboards! 🙄🤦‍♀️

Highly recommend using all your extra tomatoes at the end of the season to make homemade tomato soup!
