Two Weeks

Today got off to another rough start. We were called down to the hospital to check on Sawyer, who was struggling. When we got there, he had stabilized, but he is still so sick. The infection has control over his little body. They aren't able to culture anything, so the doctors are combating it by throwing random, strong antibiotics in his system. The first round didn't work, so they added more. He is filled with so many drugs, and we can only wait and see what happens.

We are asking tough questions and maintaining close contact with the doctors. They say they have seen kids sicker then him recover. We still have hope, but it is very difficult to look at something so precious going through what he is dealing with. We hope the near future has answers to many of our questions. We are trying to stay optimistic, but it is difficult when we see him going through this.

Zoe is doing well. She continues to put on weight and is very close to the two pound club. Margo and I are so happy for her.

We will try to keep you updated.
