Sawyer's Heart

Sawyer Jones, who recently celebrated his second birthday, has a diseased heart. Sawyer is incredibly brave, usually smiling, and loves cartoons, especially Mickey Mouse. He has been in the hospital since August essentially on life support as he waits for a heart transplant. Sawyer's parents, Dallas Police Officer Patrick Jones and his wife Shellie take turns watching over Sawyer so that he is rarely alone. Sawyer's older brother Parker is along for the ride too. What an amazing family. The Jones adopted both of their sons at birth and any child would be lucky to have them as parents. I hope Sawyer gets his heart soon.
