Morning update

Yesterday afternoon progressed better than the morning. Sawyer picked himself back up and took mental control again of the issues. He slept fairly well and willingly got up to go with the tutor this morning to work with her for awhile as we wait for him to be called for his procedure. They call it being "white sheeted" when you don't have a specific appointment and just have to wonder when it will happen. Keep your fingers crossed it happens sooner rather than later. He hasn't eaten in 24 hours and at this point isn't allowed any drink or food until after the colonoscopy.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! There's volunteer students from the University of Rochester that work with the pediatric patients to do crafts and engage them in activities. This morning they went around and posted valentines on all the room doors as a way to add some color and liveliness.

Sawyer's roommate this week is a 5-year-old boy who is terrific. A really good kid, cute and very smart. He actually asks to play math games! His parents are very nice and are willing to try to keep their son fairly quiet if Sawyer is trying to sleep.
