Rock the Hawk for Dominic

One of Chris' good friends Dominic Alexander had an accident and is currently down at Harborview rehabbing from a traumatic brain injury.  Things are looking so much brighter than they could have hoped for on the day of the accident at the beginning of May.  Through thousands of prayers, friends, family, and community support Dominic has shown to be a fighter (like always) and has made huge strides in his recovery, with a long road ahead. 

Background Story

On May 1st, 2011 Dominic was found by Teresa in their shop on the ground. He had fallen and was unconscious. (it seems he may have fallen from a ladder that goes up to their loft in the shop). He was found to have a serious head injury. He had surgery @ PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center, part of his skull was removed & the small epidural hemorrhage was removed to give more room for his brain to remove the pressure. The swelling wasn't as bad per the neurosurgeon and they put the piece of his skull back on. He had a probe placed in his brain that monitored his brain temperature, brain oxygen levels, and brain pressure. The family decided the next day that Dominic needed to be transferred to Harborview Medical Center in order to receive the best care for his traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Dominic also works at BP, and what a community of support they have been.  What started with Dominic's crew shaving Mohawks, took off from there, and some of the guys made this cool video in honor of Dom's fight.  BP also put on a huge fundraiser taco feed and raffle donation to raise money, and had a huge turnout!  So awesome!


Please keep Dominic in your prayers, and wife Teresa too, she is due next month with their 2nd baby.
