Prednisone-induced craving satisfied

Sawyer and Mark went to Joe's Crab Shack with friends Bob and Dan Woughter where Sawyer ordered the Seaside Platter. For someone that never liked (or more truthfully, never even tried) seafood, Sawyer dug into the platter with gusto. He loved the mollusks, liked the shrimp, was okay with the scallops and didn't care much for the tilapia. He also ate several popcorn shrimp then topped off the meal with a piece of cheesecake. All-in-all, he enjoyed the meal, but feels that his seafood craving has been satisfied for a long time.

As noted in the previous message, Sawyer had the needles and tubes removed from his port. He is finding the incision and the port itself fairly uncomfortable. No doubt as the incision heals, he will get used to the port. He pretty much has to since he'll have it for the next three years.

This evening he is lounging in a seafood-and-cheesecake-induced-stupor while watching the history of ice cream on the History Channel. He's also received some pretty funny homemade videos from his crazy "little brothers" that are helping to keep a smile on his (and his parents') face.
