An Update + Prayer Request

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 💙



Prayers for you and your sweet family. As well as the medical team.

Praying for you all and sending you a bible verse I found recently to be very comforting and reassuring during times of despair.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

I am so sorry. Praying for your sweet boy.
I’m so sorry you and your family are going through this. Sending healing thoughts to you all.
No one ever wants to hear the word cancer, but for a little one I’m sure it’s got to be even more difficult. (My husband is currently battling brain cancer so I know a bit about how much it upends your lives in all kinds of ways) I’m sorry to hear this news! Will be praying for Dominic for healing and for good care from his medical team!! I know there are amazing medical advances out there in the field of cancer treatment, and kids can be amazingly resilient. God is with you!!
Praying for little Dominic. Prayers for your family too. So sorry to hear this news. 😢
Michelle,

Michelle,
Holding your precious Dominic and your family up in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your family with us all these years. Your blog has been such a bright spot every week, and it’s been such a joy to read and see the stories and photos of your lovely family including the dogs (we have a golden too) — along with the delicious recipes.
Michelle I just read this and I want send my love and prayers to you and your family. I’ve been following you since the beginning and feel like I know you and your kids after all these years. I am sending so much love to you guys. ❤️
I can’t imagine how frightened you must be. Saying prayers for Dominic and the whole family. My cousin had a brain tumor when he was a child. This was back in the early 60’s. He’s fine now (except partial hearing loss in one ear) and there’ve been huge advancements since then. Sending prayers and positive thoughts.
Prayers of healing for Dominic, prayers for your family and prayers for the doctors treating your son.
Prayers for Dominick and your entire family.
I was just telling my husband that something didn’t seem right…no new posts. I never, ever expected this gut punch.
I’ve been reading your blog for soooo many years. Please know we will be keeping you, Dominic, and the entire family in our thoughts and our prayers. Give that little sweetheart a big hug.
Praying for sweet Dominic and your
entire family.
