Update on Dakoda
4 October 2023
Dakoda was scheduled for surgery today but that was postponed due to how irritable Dakoda becomes when being touched - she was having a heart scan done where she quickly turnt blue and a worrying change in her numbers showed. She was then considered "critical". She has been put on a higher dose of sedation and changed from fentanyl to morphine which has somewhat worked. They are hoping for this friday for surgery, if she stays stable enough but she still gets quite irritable even for normal cares like washing her face and changing nappy. The doctors are not really wanting her to go another week without surgery being done so are hoping she doesnt take another turn before then. She may also be give a drug to temporarily paralyze her as shes on a high dosage of sedation yet still fighting to be awake and look around.
