Family and Friends,

The last week has been a journey of prayer and faith for our family.   Today the one thing that is certain is that our God is in control and He directs every step.  Our family can not tell you how humbly appreciative we are of every person on their knees in prayer as we look to the Father for healing one day at a time.  Below are three pictures:

 The first is the day after Dakota's emergency craniotomy.  His fever continued to rise with the swelling of his brain and we walked in faith trusting for one moment at a time.   On most days he was unresponsive and placed in icepacks.  You continually lifted our family up in prayer.

The second picture was taken on Tuesday.  Dakota's fever broke and after long discussion with the medical team about breathing interventions, Dakota's fever broke.  His body temperature returned to normal.  He began breathing on his own and he opened his eyes to the sound of his moma's voice.  

The third picture was taken today with his eyes open while his moma was talking to him.  

The journey before us is still long.  There are still many crucial moments, but we are so humbly thankful for each and every one of you and the prayers that you have lifted up.  Our Savior has moved mountains in just a few days and we are certain He has BIG plans for this young man.  Please continue to pray and know that we love you. ❤️
