In the midst of all the chaos preceeding and following the 1st See No Evil Race to help Dominique's Family I wasn't able to stay in touch with his father, Billy, as much as I would have liked. I was finally able to go visit them at Cooks Childrens Hospital in Fort Worth on May 22. This is has been Dominique home since April 18th, after he was addmitted with a fever of 101 and diagnosed with Pancreatitus.
I called Billy when I got there, and was able to sneek into Dominique's room while he was out. With my arms full of the delectible Edible Arrangement bouquet that Dreaming Of Three had made up, I shouted "Hey!" as walked through the door to suprise him! He had no idea I was coming and I think it was an uplifting suprise.
We chit-chatted about his stay at Cooks, and how much better Dominique is doing. It's looking like he will finally be released very soon. He's finally off of the feeding tube and back to eating solid foods(He was munching on some pizza while we visited). Dominique is very laid back and reserved, but he really warmed up to my 3 year old son Carson and it was very sweet to see how giving and caring Dominique is. He offered him all of his snacks and was very sweet.
I was thrilled to hear that their whole family is making a trip to Walk Disney Wold in Florida this June thanks to Make A Wish Foundation! What an amazing experience for them all, and I'm sure after this long and tedious stay at the hospital it will be just what they need to wind down and let loose.
We ended with a hug and a smile as Dominique's teacher was scheduled to be arriving. I was so happy to see him doing better and hope that his health will continue to improve. Do3 continues to inspire me and so many others. We may be a small organization, but I do think we do big things for the people and animals we help. It can only go up from here!
