Dustin suffered a closed head injury, no bleeding, on 8/9/03. He did not reach Rancho level 4 in 4 months and was placed on maintenance in a nursing home. Friends bought him a tilt table which was used only once 3 days before this video in April 2004 and he gained the use of his left arm a few days later. I have learned that only aggressive physical therapy will reconnect the disconnected. They want $2000 a day for this in TIRR. Any suggestions from the world? I will share more as time permits. Frustrated Dustins' Dad.

  • it is a shame that there is no money to get a young man into a therapy program!we got money from the injurance of the guy who drove the car.dani was in the rehab for 13 months.then he came home and we do many therapies.look at his account radan25!

    good luck for dustin!

  • Hi Dani/Mom - Dustin was the driver. I kept him in San Antoinio another month to try and get him to Rancho level 4 so he could get more therapy. HE GOT NONE! I am working on taking him to CIREN.

  • please help dustin! he needs it.watch my vids and you will see how much work and training it takes to get better!

    all the best

  • I have watched your vids Dani, I understand what it takes, but the Texas/Fed govt. here only works with people who are cognizant. They don't work to make them cognizant. VIVA the Gringo System! I posted to you here before but it was too long!

  • @lindsayygracee - Dustin has been parked on maintenance in a nursing home for over seven years. He gets ZERO therapy of any type. He still has full mobility in his left arm, still blinks for me. He weighs 90 pounds and looks like a Nazi concentration camp victim. He is often force fed with a syringe when his mother cannot take the time to slowly feed him since he cannot swallow well at all. I tried to get him into the deep brain stimulation experiments 4 years ago.

  • What kind/intensity of speech therapy is he currently receiving?

  • Brain chip - CHECK MY SITE

  • You should try to go through DARS. disabilities and rehab services. There are a lot of people at TIRR that use DARS for the rehab

  • Send one over to Dustin, I am sur it would be more stimulating therapy than he has received on the socialized handout from the US government!

  • Ditto from his Dad, who can't get back into this account because of a glitch in the Youtube Matrix.

  • Poor you; Dustin
