since the last blog, you've probably been wondering about Dustin's status. his operation went well, but the after results are not the best news. his heart was transplanted correctly, but the heart doesn't pump blood fast enough, so complications will slowly start happening. the doctor told him that he only has 13 months to live.
this is the most tragic news anyone can get, especially for the fact that he is a 15-year-old kid who loves music and his family. please pray for him, and i hope the doctors are wrong. i pray to God that he gets better.
(read the previous blogpost and watch the video if you don't know what i am talking about)
anyway last weekend, i dedicated all my songs to him and shared his story with everyone back in california. everyone was touched by his story and his strength and the way that music has touched his soul. please continue to pray.
i have been talking to my friends and we are all discussing a possible fundraiser to get him and his mom out here in the US for a big show this summer. anyone down to help out for that?
anyway, my most recent video has been featured on YOUTUBE.COM on the main page and it's an awesome feeling, it almost feels like ur at the top of the world for a second. "Those Lips". this is all because of all of your support and love. you all deserve some cupcakes. LOVE YOU ALL!!! thank you for being my motivation to keep going and to keep playing. music is the only thing in this world right now that makes sense. keep it alive, and keep it in your life.

I would be down to help get Dustin and his mom out here! I've been writing back and forth with him and I had mentioned the idea of him getting out here to meet you. My friends and I would do anything to the best of our ability to help and we're all praying for him.
i'd be down to help out too. his story really did touch me. i'll always keep him in my prayers.
It's true though, music is the only thing in the world that makes sense.
Getting Dustin down here would be so awesome. I'm down for some fund raising :D If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'm a message on blog away.
