Wordless Wednesday

Quick Update on Jeremy: He had an appointment with his doctor today to discuss the seizure and what steps to take from here. Due to how quickly Jeremy recovered after his incident and the different symptoms of what happened to him, it was determined he did not have a seizure. His incident was actually due to vasovagal syncope which was caused by a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure. Ironically it was most likely due to the medication he is still on for seizures which can cause his blood pressure to drop during exercise. Trippers of vasovagal syncope are strain, stress, long periods of standing, and heat exposure which were all present when Jeremy passed out and rolled down the hill. We are thankful we know what happened and what the triggers are so he can combat it in the future. His doctor is having him weaned off his seizure medication which will help. Jeremy described how he felt right before it happened and said he'd felt that way on a run in the past and walked for a little bit before running again. Now he knows if he feels that way, even if he's in a race, he needs to walk! Good news that this will be easily treated, he can still drive, and it was not actually a seizure! Now on to pictures!
