The making of the family store...but life had other plans/ Realisation du magasin familial...mais la vie avait d'autres plans.

I have been meaning to post " The making of the family store" pictures a long time ago but Life had other plans...Dominique is recovering slowly but surely from the agressive bacteria that attacked his lungs, his white cells count went down to 700, his kidneys fell, and kept him sedated for three weeks at the hospital Mexico in San Jose, Costa Rica. We almost lost him but thanks to the good care of the doctors and intensive care staff in the hospital, the prayers and positive energy of friends, family, even perfect strangers, coming from all over, the love of his family and his will to live, he survived, with a total loss of muscles, weakness and a long journey ahead of him to recover. Gael, Demian, Samy and Stephane and I gathered our energies in San Jose in order to be constantly with him. Domi is now starting to walk again. We live in San Jose and the kids go back and forth from the beach to here. No plans for now as it will take a while for Domi to be able to travel again.

J'avais prevu de mettre les photos de"La realisation du magasin familial" il y a quelques temps deja mais la vie avait d'autres plans...Domi se remet tranquillement mais surement d'une bacterie agressive qui a attaque ses poumons et l'a garde dans un coma artificiel pendant trois semaines a l'hopital Mexico de San Jose, Costa Rica. Nous l'avons presque perdu, son compte de cellules blanches est tombe a 700, ses reins ont lache, mais grace aux bons soins des docteurs et du personnel des soins intensifs de l'hopital, les prieres et l'energie positive des amis, de la famille et meme d'etrangers, qui nous sont parvenues de partout, l'amour de sa famille et son desir de vivre, il a survecu avec la perte totale de l'usage de ses muscles, une grande faibless et une longue convalescence devant lui . Gael, Demian, Samy, Stephane et moi-meme ont rassemble nos energies a San Jose afin d'etre constamment a ses cotes. Domi recommence maintenant a marcher. Nous demeurons a San Jose et les enfants font l'aller-retour de la plage a ici. Pas de plans pour l'instant car Domi ne va pas pouvoir voyager pendant un bon moment.
