Dustin LaFortune

Another fly-by post…

W5 (http://www.ctv.ca/w5/) has spent the last several months gathering information and footage about Dustin and what he has been going through. This documentary will air Saturday, October 23rd at 7pm (local time – check listings).

If I can get all the logistics set up, I’m hoping to move my TV into the office so we can all tweet/Facebook/chat live. Hashtag: #w5dj

Hello dear Guardians – please accept our apologies for the long delay in updates. Between all the moving, surgeries (mine), doctor’s appointments and lack of regular access to computers and the internet (both Renee and I), it’s been waaay too long.

However, the dust is settling, somewhat, so there will be a longer post soon.

The long and the short of it is: Dustin is doing so, so well right now. He’s been able to graduate from using a walker to simply using a cane! Various physio and neuro programs have been started; he’s one very, very busy man!

I know I posted a while ago about a video that was to be put up; it hasn’t for the main reason that something larger and more TV-related is coming down the pipe, so we were asked – in the interest of not diluting the content/impact – to hold off on publishing certain things, which included the videos I took (for now…).

I’m working with Renee on a more medically-themed update as soon as we can. Between all the paperwork, work and caring for 2 sons who need supervision, she’s putting in 18-hour days most days. I get tired just listening sometimes!

Thank you for your continued well-wishes – Dustin has been peeking when he can, and it makes his day.

Cheers!
