Oh my, I didn't realize it's been so long since the last post! Time definitely seems to be moving quickly these last few months. Sawyer submitted his application to SUNY New Paltz (on the Hudson River, about 4.5 hours from home) for early decision in mid-November. He's now anxiously waiting for a letter to show up in the mailbox. The latest he should know is January 1st but we're certainly hoping for sooner!
Wrestling season has begun. It means an increase in activity and required energy level, something that is often hard to balance with staying healthy. The doctors increased one of his meds to knock his blood counts down a bit (they don't like them to be super good apparently), so that combined with long days of wrestling tournaments, exhausting practices, school, and life in general have meant that he's been struggling to ward off fatigue and colds. He's been home from school the last two days; doctor says he doesn't have strep throat, but he will be talking with his coach about backing off a bit. It's not an easy thing to ask, especially when you're committed to being a contributing team member. His coach is very understanding and willing to work with what Sawyer needs, but it does lead to some internal disappointment for his senior year.
We had a nice Thanksgiving with both sides of our family. Certainly the food was delicious and it's always so good to catch up with everyone. It won't be long and we'll all be together again for Christmas!
