The Lawson Family Patient: Dominik Age: 2 Diagnosis: Kidney Failure Length of Stay: 9 months and counting This is the second stay for Dominik and his family at the Ronald McDonald House. Dominik was brought into the world 12 weeks early because his kidneys stopped working. Unfortunately, his first kidney transplant was unsuccessful, so the family is back once more searching for a miracle. While Dominik receives daily treatments, the rest of the family has made it a priority to stay strong and together. Dominik's siblings, Kaylie and Donte have both attended class at the Ronald McDonald House School and Dominick's Dad commutes regularly from his job as a hockey coach in their hometown of Taconite, Minnesota. The family also spends quality time at Wild games, as they take advantage of the generous donations of tickets we receive at the House. "The Ronald McDonald House has been a huge blessing. The House cares for us so we are able to care for our little boy... what a wonderful gift of kindness." --Dominik's Mom
