As most everyone knows "gobblerbane08"(Dakota) has finally gotten into the hospital and had some very extensive heart surgery done. It was a long wait, but it sounds like everything was successful, and so far, so good.

"BowtechTurkeyHunter " (Steve) has suggested that we as RT family, get together and do a little something in the way of a card and gift (like flowers or a hat or something). BowtechTurkeyHunter (Steve) doesn't live too far from where Dakota is hospitalized and has volunteered his services to get the gift and card and do the delivery to the hospital.

Here's the deal.

If you want your name on the card and help pay for the gift and Steve's travel expenses to deliver, just answer this post, and make a commitment to send "BowtechTurkeyHunter "(Steve) the sum of $2.00. That's it...$2.00.

I'm sure that would cover a nice gift, card and fuel for Steve to deliver it.

Just answer this thread, and send $2.00 to Steve at:

Hi everyone! This is Dakota's dad. Dakota had the respirator removed after midnight this morning and is doing great (He's still in Intensive Care). Is cracking jokes quite a bit, and is sitting up and watching some DVD's (they don't have the Outdoor Channel!). Is in quite a bit of pain and is VERY thirsty and getting hungry. We hope that he will be able to eat something tonight. They will let him have only so much water at the moment. He may be moved to a recovery room as early as Sunday night. We thank you so much for all your encouragement and especially your prayers for Dakota! I will let him know that you all have been asking about him and wishing him a speedy recovery! If you would like to send him a card you can send it to:

Dakota Case

c/o Children's Hospital

8200 Dodge Street

Omaha, NE 68114-4113

or

Dakota Case

c/o Carolyn Scott Rainbow House

7815 Harney Street

Omaha, NE 68114-4511

You can also email him at [email protected].

Thanks again for everything, and God bless you all!

Hello all! This is Dakota's dad. It's been a long day (Sunday)! Dakota took his first walk today. Actually took 2 short walks down the hallway. The doctors are now concerned about Dakota's air sacs in the lungs. They are not as open as they should be by now, and we need to be a little more aggressive in the respiratory treatments that he is getting. The docs (and we) don't want pneumonia to set in. The surgeon also told us that teenagers are the worst in not wanting to do anything after surgery (walking, respiratory treatments, etc.). We've seen a little of this in Dakota today. He's just plain worn out. Please be praying for Dakota concerning these items.

He is hoping to get a laptop with wireless internet tomorrow. He has been dying to get back to the forum and hang out with you guys!

I want to thank you all SO MUCH, for all you are doing and especially for your prayers for Dakota and for his mother and I. We are eternally grateful! If any of you would like to email me I'm at [email protected]. We'll keep you updated, and may God bless all of you!!

Chuck
