Dusty Hanshaw Has Been Hospitalized and is Fighting For His Life
Dusty Hanshaw is fighting for his life.
Some sad news to report as bodybuilding veteran Dusty Hanshaw is reportedly fighting for his life. A GoFundMe has been started by his mother in hopes of helping with the medical bills.
In a freak accident it appears that Dust Hanshaw is fighting to survive. While eating steak, a piece of the meat got stuck in his esophagus, obstructing his breathing. He was eventually able to get it down but it appears that he obstructed his esophagus in doing so.
From Bad to Worse
Dante Trudel, a close friend of Hanshaw, stated that the bodybuilder was coughing up blood after the incident. Hanshaw is now in the hospital due to the incident.
Via GoFundMe:
Hi this is Dante Trudel, I am writing this on behalf of Dusty’s mom Julie, his family, his close friends and honestly to all of you. Why? Because I asked to do it, its that important to me. I am going to get right to the point. On the 13th of May almost two weeks ago, Dusty was eating steak and a piece got lodged in his esophagus and he started choking badly.
After a struggle he finally got it down, but something was definitely wrong. Sometime later he started to cough up blood, so much so that he went to the hospital as he knew something was not right. At the hospital things quickly snowballed out of control….and it looks like he suffered an esophageal rupture. They had to utilize a balloon in his esophagus to stop the massive bleed and everything went into a tailspin.
There was a tremendous amount of blood from this injury and one thing led to another with the doctors having to sedate him and put a feeding tube in. Over the first 48 hours Dusty not only developed pneumonia but also a serious staph infection. It has been a very trying time and they have been unable to bring him out of sedation because of all these dire events happening at once.
He has been under sedation for the last two weeks and dependent on the vent to breath. They have been trying to bring him out from sedation but at this time, again, he is not able to breath on his own. So he is still on paralytics, the feeding tube and the vent. It is going to be a long process of recovery.”
Brad Rowe Sends His Support
Brad Rowe who himself is currently in the hospital lent his support to Dusty Hanshaw and his family and friends.
This is all truly sad news. To think such a freak occurrence would befall Dusty Hanshaw. But if one thing is certain, anything can happen at any time so exercising caution is always a must. It’s unfortunate Hanshaw and his family find themselves in this current position.
