Update on Dustin....Ways You Can Support
In march Dustin had the opportunity to go to a week long retreat at Harbin Hot Springs. It was a great healing week for him mentally and physically and a great experience. Unfortunately, once he returned home he has been struggling greatly with his oxygen levels and having a hard time breathing.
For those of you that have not been around Dustin lately, I'd like to put in to perspective for you what he is dealing with on a daily basis and what I mean when I use the word "struggle".
Several times a day (or more) Dustin will have what I can only describe as an attack on his lungs. When this happens he literally struggles to catch his breath. Imagine that feeling of being suffocated and the panic and anxiety of not knowing when you'll get that next breath again and fill your lungs with air. This is unfortunately Dustin's reality.
Dustin is continuing to seek help and answers from every avenue that he can. He has recently seen a pulminologist that put him back on 24/7 oxygen and has him on an inhaler. He is currently awaiting results from some tests he took after being on a strict diet. He has been seeing an allopathic Doctor, Dr Mangum, who has been working really well with Dustin. And he continues to have an amazing support system at home through various friends and family members.
What we have learned is that Dustin's body will not be able to heal if he is not getting the oxygen he needs. He will not be able to recover from MRSA/mold poisoning while he continues to struggle to breath.
Dustin has an amazing support system! There are so many people that are willing to do whatever they can to help and we know that there are more of you out there!
As we continue to look for answers and get Dustin the help that he needs, medical costs are rising and funds are being depleted. We would like to ask for everyone's support on raising awareness for Dustin and helping him find answers to help his body heal. We are putting together some exciting events to help raise funds for his rising medical costs, and would like as many of you as possible to get involved and show your support. Stay tuned for details and ways you can get involved to help!
