i was told it is being discussed but there are so many variable here ... the fact he is in Omaha is a good thing ... Heart failure has no cure fortunately the word mild was used now I dont know how mild but chuck asked specifically that we keep Jennifer in our prayers ... my guess is she isnt handling this too well as any parent would have a tough time with ... I will post something as soon as I hear anything

Update from Chuck

We're in Omaha now at Children's Hospital. Dakota continues to be on medications to increase his heart function. Will have a test in the next day or two to see if the meds are working. His cardiologists will have a conference on Monday to determine the next step. A heart catherization will be likely early in the week. Dakota is resting well and cracking up the nurses who are attending him with his quick wit!

Atta boy Dakota Kick this in the butt ... The prayers are deffinately working for sure

Update on Dakota

Dakota had an echo cardiogram (ultrasound on the heart) and a chest x-ray this morning. After much discussion his cardiologists have decided that Dakota will have an esophageal echo Tuesday morning to look for clots, if that is clear they will continue with a heart catherization to check out his coronary artery function, install a third wire from his pacemaker to his left ventricle to stimulate pumping action, and will also install an internal defibrillator - all in the same procedure. They said not to worry about function numbers rising or not from the meds - there's not been enough time for that to happen yet. As far as what caused this, we will probably never know. Please pray for wisdom and steady hands for his doctors and surgeons, and for comfort and strength for all of us. We and the doctors are just taking this one step at a time. We have great faith in Christ who is carrying us all through this. We know He will bring himself glory no matter what the outcome. We will continue to give you updates on my status.

Thanks again for all your prayers and encouragement! We pray for God's rich blessings upon each of you this day!

Chuck, Jennifer, and Dakota

Yeah I can get something to him just let me know!
