Title: Been Busy Lately
Post by: countryscroller on July 09, 2014, 05:25:31 pm
Hey everyone! Sorry for not being on here for a while, but I have been busy like the title of this post says. As many of you that watch my videos know, I have a handicap brother with a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He is at the point in his disease where he is have a hard time eating food. So as a result he got a feeding tube put in. He got it put in last Tuesday, but do to his health, the recovery has been tough and he is still in the hospital. His heart rate and blood pressure have been unstable. He has been doing a lot better the past couple days, but it got pretty hairy there for a while. So I have been in Cincinnati, OH where the hospital is, 1 hour from my house, all week. On top of going down there everyday, I got me a job!!! I am working for a plastering company and I love it. It is hard work, but the pay will be good, so I can put more money into my workshop, so yay. But with that, getting up to work at 5 in the morning, getting off around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, then heading straight to the hospital to be with my brother until the end of the day, it has been really busy. I hope he will be released soon, so we can be out in the shop and things will be back to normal. Well that is about it.

For sure no need to apologize, how many of us would be so dedicated under those conditions.
You are a real Trooper Dustin.
Reminds me of the song-- "He ain't heavy, he's my brother"!

There are not many brothers like you Dustin, so be proud of that fact.  I hope he gets better soon so that you can have him home. Oh and congratulations on the new job.
