On July 12  our family’s  lives have changed forever , Our Beautiful daughter ,sister ,Niece and Granddaughter Dakota (Koda) went to go play with a friend and was brutally attacked by 6 dogs. It’s the call a mom and dad never want to get , “Your daughter is on her way to HCMC in an ambulance and it doesn’t look good” !

The sheer terror our whole family felt is something we can never put into words , as we arrived we learned they had already taken her to surgery and it would be hours , She made it out of surgery THANK GOD ! Unfortunately there will be many more surgeries and weeks maybe months of being in the hospital. With everything that has happened we will have to completely change our work schedules, living schedule and also uproot our youngest son who has a very hard time with change as it is . We would all appreciate your support in this time as we are still in the beginning stages and it’s very unclear how long or how many surgeries our Koda will need . The money donated will be helpful for the hospital bills, bills as we need to be here for Koda  and also gas , place to stay by hospital especially right now . Most of all if you can just say prayers for Dakota we would really appreciate it . Thank you all for your love support and prayers ,

Dakota is doing her best with learning her new normal. We are getting things together for homeschooling, all her therapies that she does for her TBI. She has a surgery coming up in a few weeks and hoping to get more answers on how many more surgeries she will need. And all her follow up visits and check ups at HCMC. Dakota is loving being home and wants so much to just be a regular kid again. Even though her life has changed so much she stays as positive as she can. She is really loving joke telling right now. The healing process is still going slowly but Good. The prayers have definitely wrapped around her in this time. Dakota is having a lot of tough nights with night mares, trouble sleeping, getting her brain to slow down and flash backs. But we are working on a lot of stuff to help her with that. And of course mamma is always up with her. Our family is grateful to have Dakota home and for all of us to be together again. We are looking forward to spending family time together for the holidays. Dakotas birthday is coming up in a month and we can not wait to celebrate with her and just her because we get to have another birthday with her. 
please keep praying for our koda through all of this.

Just a little update on Dakota… 

she is home for a few weeks with medical equipment before having to go back to the hospital for a few weeks. She is very brave and very strong. She is healing good but still has a long road to recovery. She is grateful every day with all the prayers and love and support. They have surrounded her and we truly believe they are working magic on helping her heal. Dakota has her good and bad days with everything that is going on. But we are working through everything and taking things day by day. She is happy to be home with her siblings and just have her space. We are so grateful for everyone! Please continue to pray for Dakota as the days come! Thank you all!

Koda had another surgery Monday. It went amazing and it's one of the bigger surgeries that needed to be done at some time but they were able to do it sooner than expected. She is holding as strong as she can. Today she prayed with her dad for her healing and for her anxiety. We all believe that all the prayers are working in her healing favor. We continue to be hopeful throughout this Journey. Dakota is so grateful for all the well wishes and prayers and for the stuff people have sent or brought to keep her busy. Please continue and share so the prayers keep coming. Thank you so much

   Brandon and myself are greatly moved and appreciate all the love prayers and well wishes for our baby. We continue to read and tell Dakota everyone that prays for her and loves her and is thinking about her. 

   We thought we would update everyone to show how much of a fighter Dakota is. I sit here watching her sleep in her hospital bed and I thank GOD every day that she is still here. The road to recovery for Dakota will be months, she continues to shine through with her fighting spirit and surprises us daily. Dakota is finally awake to a point and off a breathing tube. She is still groggy and sleepy but with the days to come that will wear off. She has had 3 surgeries so far and have multiple planned in the coming weeks. Even though Dakota is in the hospital her favorite things right now are being bossy and telling everyone off. lol 

   Dakota is using sign language and gestures to communicate while her voice heals from the breathing tube. She talks a little bit but she hardly has a voice. She is being very strong and brave through this process and can not wait till she can get up from bed to walk around. 

   Thank you all so much for thinking of our family and our beautiful daughter in this time.
