Hi everyone, this is Chuck, Dakota's dad. This is my first "official" post under my own user name! Dakota just got back from his permanent pacemaker surgery a little while ago, and he's doing great! He's now in a recovery room on the 5th floor at Children's Hospital in Omaha. We may be going home (to South Dakota) by Wednesday!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you for all you have done and are doing for Dakota, and especially your prayers!

I think Dakota may try to get on the forum tonight. From now on if you see gobblerbane08 it will be Dakota!

Thanks again, everyone! Chuck, Jennifer, and Dakota

GREAT NEWS..... Hopefully this will be the end of the surgeries for this young man.... I'll bet he can't wait to be home in his own bed.... wink.gif

Yes, this is GREAT news! Unfortunately, he will have to have all this done again in the future because the new parts they put in during his surgery a week and a half ago will eventually wear out and need to be replaced again. frown.gif Not sure when, but Doctors hope it may be as long as another 10 years before he has to go through it all again.

In the meantime, we are rejoicing that Dakota will be able to pick up his pace (no pun intended!) in living and will be able to live a more active lifestyle! laugh.gif Thanks everyone for rejoicing with us!!!

In 10 years who knows what advances will have been made in that area? Almost certainly there will be some dramatic improvements.

Glad to hear everything went well with today's surgery. That brave young man can serve as an example to all of us on how to handle adversity.

Prayer's go out to Dakota and your family. It is a true inspiration to see the RT forum family working together. I don't get on here much at all anymore but makes me happy and proud to know there is such good hearted people out there still. May God bless you all and glad that the outdoors can bring us all together. Hang in there and be strong. I am so proud of you Dakota!
