Baby Dom's Kidney Transplant

Donation protected
April 3rd, 2014, my nephew Dominic was born with more medical problems than one person can imagine. At birth he had a punctured lung and underwent surgery for pyloric stenosis. This means the muscle from his stomach to his intestine was closed which caused him to lose weight and not be able to hold any milk down. Dominic spent the first month of his life in ICU and so did his parents because they couldnt stay away for more than an hour without seeing him again. It has been a difficult time for all of us because we spent 9 months waiting for Dominic's arrival only to find out he has to struggle for his life every day. Dominic has also been diagnosed with autosomal recessive polycystic kidneys. This means his kidneys are enlarged and full of cysts which can be fatal and he is currently awaiting a kidney transplant. He is now 4 months old and I cannot say how much of an impression he has created in our family's lives. Dominic and his parents have been so strong through all of this and I am hoping to make this struggle just a little bit easier for them. They already are accumulating medical expenses for Dom's doctor visits and medicines. I am trying to raise money toward the kidney transplant or any other expenses they may need help with. All I wish is for Dominic to live a long happy life and to enjoy every moment with his family who love him dearly. I am also hoping to take a little bit of this burden off his parents so they can focus on Dominic's health and future. Please help us support him and I appreciate all I can get. Thank you so much for reading this.
