Saturday, June 14 @ 9:00pm:

Dr. Mirza came in today about 4:00pm and confirmed all of our worst fears. Sawyer is not even in the vegetative state - that is above his ability. His heart rate and his blood pressure continue to fluctuate because his brain is not responding to his body. My Sawyer will most likely not make it through the week, and if he does, he will not awake.

We are at home with Logan, smothering him with all the love our broken hearts have left. We will continue to spend each day with Sawyer, but come home each night to Logan while friends and family do us the favor of keeping Saywer company at night. We are lost, afraid, confused, angry, exhausted, dying inside.

  2. I cannot even find the words to express my sorrow for you! I am not going to lose faith or stop praying until I hear that God has asked for another angel to live with Him!!! Your family has shown so much strength through this & I am honored that my daughter has had the opportunity to be a student of your wife. Your courage & determination through such a difficult time is inspiring.

  7. I love you all very much and I will be there for the family in any way at all. I hold hope closely that miracles happen and that there is no rule without exception. Sawyer is a tough little man with an amazing family of support cradling him and I know he will never be alone and he has limitless love above everything. We should all be so lucky in any capacity.

  16. If there was anything I could do to change this outcome I would do it. I cannot begin to imagine what you are all going through and how difficult this is for you. Cling tight to each other and to Logan and know that your family and friends are here for you, supporting you, thinking of you and loving you.
