Well, Dakotah's surgery is officially a month away now (11/16). I think I am prepared for the actual surgery itself, its just the recovery process that I'm really worried about. Since Dakotah can't talk, I am worried about her pain management and me knowing her cries/moans so she isn't in pain more than needed. It also just breaks my heart to think of that huge incision going down her beautiful back and the scar that will be left behind. She is like a beautiful porcelain doll and I hate to think of her little body being scarred but I know it has to be done.
I had a great friend donate 1 blood yesterday for of the units of blood and my son (her brother) donated a unit yesterday in hopes that he will be a match for the other unit that she will need for surgery. We will find out Wednesday if he is. If he isn't, there are teachers that I work with that are willing to donate for her. I am so grateful that God has sent these people into my life!!!!
Donations for Dollar4Dakotah have pretty much stopped. I think I need to do more on Twitter about posting the cause. But I am NOT giving up hope yet!!!! We made it through a really tough time last fall as well and even made it through being homeless for about a month so I know that God will see us through this as well!
