Edited 8/29/20- This thread was initially made asking for prayers for my nephew, Dominic, who survived a drowning 4 1/2 years ago on March 24th, 2016. He was 25 years old at the time. Ever since being discharged from the hospital he has been in numerous facilities, from acute rehabs to subacute rehabs, to brain injury rehabs, and for the past several years, a long term care facility. I had to delete all my posts on this thread for personal reasons, but felt it wasn't fair to those who've been faithfully following for all this time to leave them in the dark. Therefore, I've decided I will continue to periodically update about how Dom is doing, but will leave all identifying information, location and otherwise, out of it. Thank you all again, my dear DIS friends, who have continued to pray and have kind words for Dom and our family, without any judgment or belittlement thrown in.
Dom is doing well, but it is hard on his mom not being able to be with him like she was most days pre-Covid. She does get to see him twice a week now, for about 20 minutes each time, and she is grateful for every second. Sadly, Dom hasn't been able to go for his hyperbaric oxygen treatments, or his Botox treatments because of the covid restrictions, so his mom is very concerned about that. Hopefully they'll be able to restart those soon.
You all must be physically and emotionally worn out from dealing with all this for over 4 years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
