Dane is getting worse. His little body is starting to swell up and all the blood is leaving his extremities- a survival thing the body does to try and survive.. I feel so helpless and so very frustrated. I know Dane's brain injuries would properly kill him if he had heart surgery but honestly I can't understand what a differences a couple of days would make. His brain needs six months to heal.

I am so scared that with every minute that passes Dane's heart will suddenly rupture and he will never get the chance to have the life saving operation that he needs.
