Hi everyone,
So many of you have reached out over the last two weeks asking if everything is okay because I have not made any recent posts. I appreciate your concern so much.

Last week, our son Dominic was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the nerve cells. He has a tumor in his abdomen and we know the cancer is also in his bone marrow. He is being admitted to the hospital this week to begin treatment.
He is currently doing great, feeling well, and running around playing. Even with all of the pokes and prods and procedures he’s gone through over the last two weeks, he’s never complained and is as happy as ever. He’s totally our hero.
We appreciate all of the prayers and good, positive thoughts you can send his way 💙
praying for your family. I am remembering the photo of Dominic with the stethoscope.
He is wise beyond his years and has the curiosity to help him thru this trial. Sandy
I will be praying for Dominic and your family. Prayer is so very powerful. I’ve followed your blog for many years and have watched your precious children grow up. It feels like I know your family, and it breaks my heart that Dominic has to go through this. Remember that God is with you. Sending prayers, love and hugs.
Such a scary, awful thing to have an ill child. Praying Dominic will be restored to full health and for strength for each day, peace in decision-making, and comfort for your whole family.
I have followed you and your family for years, and I am so sorry to hear this news. Keeping all of you in my prayers!
I will add him to my daily prayers. I have been worried because of lack of posts. Sending prayers and hugs. Tabby

I just now read your update on your sweet Dominic, and my heart goes out to you and your family. I will most definitely keep Dominic in my prayers. He is such a cutie— his little glasses are the best!! He seems so strong and has a loving family to support him; this will help in his recovery. Prayer for you, too, Mama❤️
Sending love and prayers. ❤️
Prayers for you all. My heart is heavy with your news and so sorry you are having to face this illness. Dominic is the same age as my grandson and he melts my heart. He is so sweet and such an angel. God’s peace and strength be with you.
I am so very sorry for what you and your family are going thru! You all are on our family’s prayer list. The drs and hospitals in the Pittsburgh area are some of the best. With love and prayers, the Fry family

Blessings, Prayers and Positive Thoughts for Dominic, you and your sweet family. Reading the comments that others have left…you all are going to be covered in Love and Prayers.
Neuroblastoma mom here, hate to hear a of a new diagnosis. Sending strength and love your way
Michelle,
I am adding Dominic and your whole family to my daily prayers.
If there is anything we, your community, can do to help, I know we all would not hesitate to help in any way we can. (I second whomever suggested an amazon wish list)
We are all here to listen to and pray and cheer for you.
Sending so much love your way
Prayers coming your way. Wishing your sweet boy a very speedy recovery. If you’re able to create an Amazon wish list and post a link, I’m sure some of us loyal fans would be happy to shower Dominic and his siblings with gifts/distractions to get through this challenging time.
Michelle,
I can’t imagine what you’re family is feeling right now. Please know that I am keeping you all and Dominic in prayer every day. I lit a candle for him at church also. My heart is with you.
OMG. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Miracles happen every day and your son is a hero.
Michelle, I am sending loving thoughts and prayers to your sweet Dominic and your family as you are all going through this tough time. I have reached out to my friends to add you and your family to a daily prayer list. I feel God’s presence most strongly when I know there are others praying along with me for the same greater purpose, and I know you feel that way as well, as evidenced by your request for prayers. Praying together is one of the most powerful things we can do in our faith for one another to receive God’s grace, blessings, and healing power, and it is our way of telling others that we love and care for them. 🙏❤️💙
Many prayers for you and your family at this time. xo
Sending love and prayers to your son, to you and your family.
Your family is in my thoughts & prayers💕🙏.
Praying for this sweet child.
