A rapid decline

Dylan’s health battles began to escalate in 2021 when a scan revealed two holes in his lungs.

By mid-2024, that number had skyrocketed to a staggering 72.

His sister, Caitlyn, shared with Daily Mail Australia, “I found out in July of last year how severe things had begun to get, that he had holes in his lungs and had been in hospital for three weeks after coughing up blood.” She added, “His doctor told him if he hadn’t got in so soon, that could have killed him.”

Dylan faced relentless symptoms — chronic coughing, reflux, exhaustion, and mental health challenges. Despite over-the-counter remedies failing, he sought specialized care in early 2024 after a lung hemorrhage landed him in the hospital for three weeks.
