SAN DIEGO — Dominque Busto describes her older brother Ryan as an avid athlete, a loving family man and a passionate helicopter maintenance engineer.
One of his companions, Tara Rosenberg, told ABC 10News he started feeling under the weather right before the trip ended. Eventually, the camp’s coach spoke to him. Hearing of other riders having issues with this in the past, the coach rushed Busto to a nearby clinic and then sent him to the hospital, according to Rosenberg.
After being on a life support system called ECMO, different procedures, and various medications, Busto is making small steps toward recovery. His sister told ABC 10News that doctors had found the cause of the infection and are treating it.
