My Story

Welcome to our CaringBridge site. It has been created to keep friends and family updated about Dominic.

After weeks of going to see doctors to try and figure out why Dominic had a rash on his face and hands, and was having trouble walking we finally found out what is wrong with him. He was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis. This is his story.

It has been a busy week.  First was the birth of my new cousin Trent on June 24th.  Then the end of school and we had a party.  After the summer I will be in grade 2.

After school finished for the summer Nana and I went up to Oshawa to stay with my Uncle Jon and Aunt Sara for a few days.  While I was there I played with my cousins Cassidy and Deacon.  I also went to sleep over at Mommy's for one night.  When Mommy brought me back to Uncle Jon's house it was time for Deacon's birthday party. That was a lot of fun.  There were lots of kids there to play with and a lot of adults too. Deacon turned 3 yesterday.  Then last night after Aunt Sara got home from work she drove us home.  Deacon came to stay with Nana and I for 2 nights.  We are taking him home on the GO train tomorrow.

Everything is going pretty well for me.  I have an appointment at the hospital on July 13th to get bloodwork, urine test, x-ray and a bone density test done.  Then in October I go to see the endocrinologist to get the results from my bone biopsy. 

My next treatment day is July 28th.  I will keep you all updated as to how well I handle going 6 weeks between treatments.

Thanks for checking in on me.  Love to you all.
