    It could have been if they did not get a donor. I find this story full of hope and very inspiring.Dom has his whole life ahead of him and he is doing fantastic.

    My eyes are flooded with tears. I just met Elaina in Oregon at Raw Union....she is light among us. I had no idea, Debbie. Thank you so much for sharing this....not sure how I missed this info, but thank you. I am praying and will donate to them as well.

    LOVE YOU.

    also, anyone between the age of 18 and 55 and in good general health can register to be a bone marrow donor and be tested for compatibility with an in home testing kit by requesting one here: http://www.sheknows.com/bone-marrow/

    What a remarkable woman and mother---there is nothing as beautiful as the love of a mother for her child.

    I will envision Dom strong, vibrant, and sharing his story of healing with others in the near future!

    Lots of love to you,

    Wendi
    XOXOXO
