At birth Dominic was in heart failure, caused by an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his liver. He had also had a stroke caused by a hemorrhaged AVM in his brain, and his skin was covered in hemangioma. He’s also been been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, hearing loss, and vision loss as well as a genetic mutation on chromosome 13q21. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
We almost lost Dominic initially, something I never thought I would be doing was planning his funeral. I was broken, heck I still am, I am sure I have some PTSD over this whole thing. But he’s here and he’s a survivor.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t know what struggles he will have in the future, but I’m just happy he’s here with me.
Dominic
