An Update + Prayer Request
Hi everyone,
So many of you have reached out over the last two weeks asking if everything is okay because I have not made any recent posts. I appreciate your concern so much.
Last week, our son Dominic was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the nerve cells. He has a tumor in his abdomen and we know the cancer is also in his bone marrow. He is being admitted to the hospital this week to begin treatment.
He is currently doing great, feeling well, and running around playing. Even with all of the pokes and prods and procedures he’s gone through over the last two weeks, he’s never complained and is as happy as ever. He’s totally our hero.
We appreciate all of the prayers and good, positive thoughts you can send his way 💙
Praying for him!
Will pray for Dominic and all your family! May God’s will be done. Pray, hope and don’t worry. (St. Padre Pio)

Please know that I am praying for God’s healing grace over your beautiful Dominic & the doctors who are caring for him.
Your family is in my thoughts & prayers.

Michelle,
I’ve followed your blog, tried your recipes (the pickles!), and watched your family grow over the years. I’m so sorry to hear about Dominic, and my heart goes out to you. Many of your readers will be beside you in spirit as your family begins this journey. Sending love, hope and a virtual hug.
I would like to do something for Dominic. Is there a particular toy, sports hero or action hero that he likes?
Prayers for comfort and healing for Dominic.
Hi Michelle, I live in Orange, CA and just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for Dominic’s diagnosis. 😔

Thank you Michelle for the update. When I turned my computer back on and your update was there I just praised God – Everyday I was hoping to hear back on how your family/Dominic was doing and there it was . I’ve been a fan of yours before you had children and it just feels like we are family but in the eyes of God we are. Thank you for sharing and know that you are loved for who you are and what God has called you to be a great mother to your children and a great wife to your husband. God is there – God is there
Hugs and kisses God is there!
Keeping Dominic and the rest of you in my prayers! Praying for a miracle!!

Oh my , I’m very sorry to hear of Domonic’s diagnosis! It feels like you guys are part of my life and it really saddens my heart to hear such tough news! Especially with our kids! Praying for all of you and a positive outcome for sure♥️
Prayers for all of you and hoping for continued strength for all. You have such a beautiful family and share a very special bond
Give Dominic a hug from me. A happy state of mind is just as therapeutic as the treatments. I”ll be saying prayers daily to our Lord for his grace and healing. Please find a person in whom you can confide and talk to in private as you deal with this hurdle. After the storm there will be a rainbow. Love to all, Pat

Dear BrownEyed Baker and Family,
I am so shocked!!… to hear the news of your dear darling son Dominic’s illness.. which I just read. He is and will be a very brave boy! God bless him!
I will hold him high in my thoughts daily…and lift him up in healing prayers.
Daily, in my old life, I have so enjoyed your recipes….but most of all I have so enjoyed the news and photos of your children growing up…..and those beautiful Golden Retrievers.
Be strong dear family.
Lovingly, NG
