Default Update on Dom's Son

This is from a few days ago, and was posted on the GO FUND ME website for Dom's son "Butch". It was written by his sister.

UPDATE::::::::::
Great news. Yesterday I called my mom when she was at the hospital and I got to say some words to Domenic. I said hi Domenic,, and he said I hi back!!!!!! I told him we love you and we all are praying so hard for you.. he still can't talk much due to the trach. They are planning on removing it soon. My sister talked to him today and she told him she loves him and is praying for him. He said thank you to her!!!!! They are working extremely hard to get him back on his feet. Doing as much therapy and recovery as possible. Please continue to pray... God is so good!!

Dom emailed me today (August 29)and asked that I share this with the C1C2 Forum:

Larry




I can't get this update to the forums to thank the guys for their prayers because I am not at home and on my computer.

Please post this message and picture for me and extend our thanks for all the prayers.

Butch was sleeping but is quite active with his right side. Also is trying to talk in spite of the TRAKE. Not much works on his left side but they are working on that. He nods yes & no and can smile with the right side of his face. He is inside that body and trying to get out. Improving every day thanks to all the prayers. Daughter has radiation to go in her battle but is a trooper for her brother.
