Dustin
From his mom:
My precious son was diagnosed at two years old on December 29, 2014. After being sick for many months, including going into anaphylactic shock twice from things he isn’t allergic to. I did my research and refused to leave the doctors until he was tested. They told me he had the flu to take him home and put him to bed. He wouldn’t have woken up if I would have done that. Fast forward to 2017 and through sickness it was discovered that he had a birth defect with his left kidney and had to have two surgeries. In 2018 he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as well. 2023 vitamin deficiency. Currently waiting three appointments on the eighth with Urology because something else has happened with his kidney and needs farther testing. Even with all the battles he faces my child plays football, baseball, and basketball. He never complains about his body or what he has to battle. He is an inspiration to so many. He is a WARRIOR and my hero. He takes all his battles with a smile on his face.
since 2014
