Shared Shearing

This evening Sawyer stopped by to say hi to the Alfred-Almond wrestling team and to have his head shaved by the school superintendent. The shaving went well and when Sawyer was finished, five guys immediately volunteered to have their heads shaved as well. Superintendent Calkins had time to shave only two more students promising the others that he would take care of them tomorrow. Coach Cook was very understanding since this process cut over 30 minutes (pun intended) out of the practice. Sawyer remains unflappable throughout this process; his only regret being that he cannot go to school to serve as the reason why his buddies have shaved heads.

In other news, Sawyer's tutor showed up for their first meeting today. The initial goal was to determine what Sawyer needs to do in order to get caught up on his assignments. Sawyer's other goal for today was to set up a Skype account (which he did) so that he will be able to observe his French class. One fear is that our Internet connection may not be sufficient for live streaming. Past attempts to Skype have resulted in a choppy connection.

Sawyer reports that continues to feel pretty good. However, he did go for a short walk that apparently tuckered him out resulting in a two hour nap. Tomorrow the visiting nurse will stop by to draw blood. We are not sure how long it will take to get his blood counts, hopefully by the following day.
