Live Strong...

Today is day number 34 at Cedars; you can look at that like that’s a long 34 days or the way I choose to look at it – that’s a long 34 days Dom continues to fight. Well the boxer, as many of you know, was really on the mat recently. Most of the past two weeks Dom had been in a comatose state, not to mention heavily sedated for pain concerns. For those who visited Dom in the hospital all we could do is hold his hand while he slept, talk to him, not know how much he heard or if he understood us at all. As I’ve tried to relay in my previous messages, the situation was bleak and it seemed the fight was dramatically close to ending.

Now, here is where Dominic refuses to go quietly. Four days ago Dominic woke up…from what I understand he literally was wide awake, responsive through head nodding & hand squeezing. He has even been trying to speak, but he is just unable to. He’s been passing his time with engaged with visitors, and watching TV; the doctors are truly baffled. They care for him without hesitation & have been monitoring him with much zeal since Dom is fully alert now. He is still in a situation that is very day-to-day; please do not misinterpret this information. He cannot use any of his limbs, speak and his tumors are still aggressively present. Yet, there is something in our friend’s soul that refuses to give up. How are you not inspired today? Maybe it’s the blog messages that he hears every day, maybe the prayers or blessings, I don’t know, but somehow Dom is a bit stronger today than the weeks before.

The family felt the supporters of Dom should know all the information that is out there; you are part of this as the Bring It Community and your rally around Dom has helped. The doctors are working to see if there are any measures that could be taken, but at this time its status quo with providing comfort-care, monitoring, and giving LOVE to Dom as his #1 medicine. No one knows if this new development is a step closer or further from the end, but nonetheless our fighter continues to fight on.

Once more information becomes available I will share it with you all. Thanks – M
