Two GI doctors reviewed Sawyer's charts and x-rays and are fairly certain that the bleeding is due to a fissure and should heal on its own over the next few days. They also believe that the amount of bowel in his system should not present too much of a problem. The initial plan is for Sawyer to remain hospitalized to make sure that he is heading in the right direction. This could take one or two additional days. The more important development is that Sawyer is no longer in a constant state of discomfort. This alone seems to give Sawyer some hope that the worst is behind him. Once again we want to thank our family and friends for their concern and prayers in yet another chapter in this ongoing saga; one we hope is coming to a swift and positive conclusion.
