Unexpected Hospital Visit

[@tzbell06]

Please don't apologise for following your gut with these things. I'm a registered nurse and I always thank my patients for coming to the hospital when they just don't feel right because you are your body's own expert and if something doesn't feel right it could really make a difference to just get checked by a professional. And blood clots truly are no joke. I hope you feel better!

[@fungirl1121]

tzbell06 okay can I ask you something? This made me realize I could possibly have a blood clot in my arm. I got the nexplanon implant about a month ago and now it’s super painful to stretch my arm out all the way and it hurts to the touch. I thought I pulled something but the pain lines up with exactly where the implant is?

[@tzbell06]

@@fungirl1121 I'm not a doctor so I am not qualified to give you a diagnosis, but some common signs of blood clots are pain, warmth, or swelling of the extremity. Many blood clots manifest in different ways or may not have any major symptoms. I think it's smart to get your arm checked out by your doctor if your symptoms persistent and you feel like something is off.

[@fungirl1121]

tzbell06 it feels like something is pulled 😭 but it’s been consistent for weeks now

[@katiea2228]

I love how Chris can draw so well and Duncan is so entertained by it!! It’s adorable!

I had cramp in my leg once, that just started randomly when I was eating dinner. My doctor ran blood tests and discovered I had a vitamin D deficiency - however it was caused by another condition I have. Might be worth asking for some blood tests if they weren't already done. Hope you find out what it is soon

[@AdelaTomankova]

I'm confused, you got a cramp in your leg so you went through the doctor? Aren't leg cramps normal?

[@amandalee2457]

Adéla Tománková If u get cramps in your leg for a while then it might not be normal. Because it might lead to something worse And it’s always good to tell your doctor about it. My thinking is this I rather be safe than sorry.

[@amzatskull]

Same with me. I have a severe Vitamin Deficiency (I had a close to 0 on my charts). Since I started taking heeps of Vitamin D 2 years ago, the leg cramps have almost disappeared.

[@LisaEHaw]

Are you on birth control? Many of the tablets have a higher risk of thrombosis. I got severe cramps at night and I was told by my doctor to immediately stop taking birth control. After I did that my cramps disappeared

[@kaedequinn]

@@LisaEHaw No I'm not. The vitamin D deficiency that I was diagnosed with was caused by another condition I have. The cramps went away as soon as I started taking Vitamin D supplements

[@AM-il3yj]

I had a dvt when i was like 32, they are nothing to mess around with. I am so glad you are ok. We just flew to NZ and made sure to get up and walk, stretch, flex our feet, ankles and legs every couple of hours. My family is prone to having them so traveling can be a concern. But we don't let it stop us, we wear compression stockings as well.

[@meganhekman9858]

Last week Sunday I had some weird abdominal pain and put off going to the doctor all day because I just assumed it was something not at all severe. Eventually my mom decided enough was enough and took me to the doctor at like 7pm who referred me to a hospital. By 9pm I was booked in and on Monday I had emergency surgery to remove my appendix which was very close to rupturing. SUPER SCARY! I'm in bed recovering as I type this. Never hesitate going to the doctor if you feel something is wrong, I actually saved my life by driving 15 minutes to a doctor. Thanks for putting out so much content for me to enjoy as I recover. Love you !

[@sillysoys]

Can I just say that I love how Bailey takes compliments by accepting it and saying thank you? And how polite Jacob was when they got treasure? I don’t have kids yet, but I hope I can raise them like that; to be confident and polite young people 💜💜

I CAN NOT get over how grown up Bailey looks 😍😍 i love her outfits they are so cute! SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR 🐊

[@krishnapatel4222]

The only word I could say was 'aw'. Chris is such a good dad and Duncan is so cute. Bailey IS very beautiful and Parker is so talented. Jacob is so caring. and Jessica is so careful and loving. Honestly THE best family!

[@thebobbleheaddiaries6921]

Duncan is so adorable. I love his wide eye amazement and squeals.

[@literellie56]

Currently living vicariously through this vlog. When I was baileys age, my family and I went to Disney world as a Christmas present and like one of the last days we were there I got so sick with a stomach bug !! I hope y’all had fun !

[@amandaward393]

ALWAYS get these symptoms checked. 100%. My dad died suddenly because of a blood clot that was unfortunately missed. (His symptoms were much worse though, red hot leg with blisters) Nothing is ever over dramatic. Thank you for being sensible and for showing your audience something small can be so much bigger. Take care x

[@wrxbev]

the bandage is a compression bandage which can help with possible blood clots, the hospital should've told you more but anyways, hope everything is okay and you heal quickly :)

[@jamiekirkpatrick6284]

Yup! If that is the Celebration hospital, there are always gators chillin' in the ponds. My daughter was born in that hospital and that's where all our doctors are. We love it! Your health definitely comes first and you know your body best, so I am glad that you went to get it checked out.

[@beatrizpereira315]

See you later BALLIGATOR? AHAH get it? No? Oh ok...

[@skylarbrynn2969]

Beatriz Pereira I do understand

[@JB-gf4sc]

Thank you, just thanks. I needed this

[@beeisbest8958]

Wait, what???

[@emilybrady1149]

I didn’t no I needed that thx

[@chelseastephens9251]

Jessica, I had what’s called a “bi-lateral pulmonary embolism” from a birth control pill I was taking. That means both sides of my lungs were closed, and I had a DVT (blood clot in my leg). I didn’t have any severe symptoms either - I had what felt like a severe Charlie horse in my thigh (almost always a DVT Guys - be aware), and then around noon the following day I had a weird heart palpitation and thought I was just having a panic attack because my leg was still hurting. I’m so glad I went to the hospital - I’m Canadian so it was free - but please if you can always get those things checked out. About 33% of people with bilateral pulmonary embolism die. I’m still afraid any time I get a muscle cramp.

[@lct5516]

Your kids are so polite and well behaved!

[@kylieaquilina7987]

Your health comes first, whatever it might be, don't ever feel like you're being dramatic about something so important ❤

[@thealarsen6733]

SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR! Love your family have a great day!!!🐊🐊🐊

[@tasiacross5173]

I just love you guys so much. So much of a real family atmosphere. Praying for you Jessica. My mom had to wear compression socks

[@betsytrog813]

Haha. She is so escited. Love it and love you guys, and Miranda Sings and Colleen of course! Oh, and Jessica.

[@michelepasquarello5969]

Jessica you're so smart to get checked. I had symptoms once and didn't know if I should go to the ER. But I told myself that I didn't want to literally die of embarrassment. Turned out I was sick and my life would have been in danger if I hadn't gone in!~

[@alliej4393]

Coming from someone who works in an ED you are a completely reasonable patient! We see a bunch of people who should go to urgent care, but PE and DVT is no joke. Especially with the amount of travel you all do it's better safe than sorry!

[@tyrajameca]

SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR!!! I love you guys! Always the best family to make my day better:))

[@dakotapaige4117]

Nothing wrong with getting something checked out if you have a feeling something is wrong! ❤️ My mum had a blood clot in her leg that made it's way to her lung. The doctors caught it early thankfully and she is on blood thinning medication lately to help remove it. Xx

[@laurenkate9295]

I’m so glad you got checked out! I had a blood clot in my left leg which caused multiple clots in my lungs and I was extremely ill in the ICU. I’m lucky to be alive right now.

[@Lindsey_Decker]

Lauren Kate I had the same thing. I feel the same way.

[@BakeChic98]

9:56 I had a feeling he was gonna say that😊😊 and Bailey looks SO cute in her little floral romper!!

[@tay.2506]

Bailey is so kind and is always thinking of other people before herself.She is the best sister!

[@EDucating_Shanny]

So glad they could help you and that you’re ok! I hope it gets better soon. Always better safe than sorry. Good thing you went in! Stay safe! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

[@pizzafanaticforlife1386]

That little Duncan is flippin killing me with cuteness!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@TessMac]

Next time you’re in FL you MUST try the restaurant/SaladBar/Healthy Buffet called SWEET TOMATOES! It’s my absolute favorite. Giant salad bar...Tons of soups...Breads...Pastas..Potatoes...Desserts! It’s not too spendy & always delicious! 🍅

[@KaysieDaniels]

I know they have some here in Arizona too, so California could have some as well

[@psurprenant]

I love Bailey's outfit, super cute! She looks so grown up. Also, hope your leg gets better soon Jessica!

[@lisasecula4274]

I haven't tried Cape May Buffet yet. Thanks for covering it. I LOVE crab legs as well. We're sometimes wary of the buffets at Disney (mixed experiences). I'm glad you were well enough to enjoy your vacation, Jessica. Four out of the six of us became ill with pneumonia over our Christmas trip to WDW and Universal Orlando. It was till fun though... mostly.

[@Becfreeburn]

Ballinger kids are the sweetest on earth! We must protect!

[@kellischronicles8669]

does jessica get eyelash extensions? her eyelashes are so beautiful!

[@kaz33itsme]

I'm pretty sure she talked about them a few months ago, no they are real she just uses a little mascara nothing else.

[@kellischronicles8669]

KarenLC must have missed that video! thanks for letting me know

[@Yowzabowzaa]

I know! I wish I knew what mascara she uses

[@sarahdee7776]

Kelli’s Chronicles I’m sure she uses an eyelash serum!

[@wrxbev]

they look like they've had a lash lift, even with mascara lashes don't usually curl that nicely :)

[@sophiebriggs8457]

Wow Duncan looks like a tiny Jacob

[@aimeefontaine226]

Great that you were safe and got it checked. I went early last year after constant cramps not going and had an 18cm blood clot in my calf.

[@poeticeclipse]

Hospital Rd... Hmm, I think you were near my OBGYN in Celebration! Haha!!

[@holbot3000]

Aw I loved this video! It's brought back one of the most special memories I have. Cape May was my late grandad's favourite restaurant because, like you Jessica, he loved crab. It was during the last holiday we went on together ca. 9-10 years ago and I distinctly remember us both trying taffy for the first time after that meal. Seeing you guys explore the area too and the kids enjoying themselves there just lit up something in me and I felt like I was there with my own family all over again. Thank you so much for that ❤️

[@superfan88]

Cape May is good. Next time you should visit Beaches and Cream. Get the Kitchen Sink! I used to live in Orlando and work at Disney and Universal. I always told people new to FL “It doesn’t matter if it’s a lake, swamp, or run off pond, assume there is an alligator near by.” It’s just safer that way.

[@hellosunshine305]

Duncan’s little romper was to die for CUTE!! Glad everything is okay with Jessica❤️

[@yellowroses2417]

I love this! (I do not love that Jessica is sore), but I'm a midwife, and we take blood clots really seriously. A lot of people have learnt the symptoms just by watching this and you DO NOT take chances, which Jessica has shown. Please trust me if anyone is reading this, DO NOT take a chance. The kids did so well, behaving well as usual!

[@deltempleton4072]

Glad you got your leg seen to. Was worried for a second so it must have t Really been on your mind. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦

[@mollyyannello8862]

I’m loving baileys rompers! They’re super cute!

Been waiting all day for this vid to come out cuz i saw it in yesterdays vid!!

[@allmountain-zj8rz]

Absolutely love your vids It’s such an amazing channel I love how you guys are so so close to one another Each of you are all amazing for your own reasons It’s so sweet You hearted my comment on the first episode of this series and I was so happy I was overjoyed. Be a shame if KZbin were to disable the comments again but hopefully everything will be fixed quickly ❤️

[@MforMutiny]

My family has stayed at beach club before and it's really nice! That buffet has really really good breakfast in the mornings!

[@meggiebeth3202]

We are heading back to Beach Club this summer and are very excited! It’s the best Disney resort in my opinion. As for alligators, Florida is absolutely littered with them - I was told that the rule of thumb is that if there’s a body of water, there’s going to be an alligator in it. They tend to be active at night rather than during the day which is why they aren’t always visible.

[@riley1892]

If it makes you feel any better, when I went to Orlando in October, I spent my first day in the hospital too. I will say, Orlando hospitals/ staff are lovely

[@JackieHall71]

It is better to be safe than sorry. I am glad everything turned out alright. Hope your leg is feeling better soon. You guys need to be Disney ambassadors. The love you guys have for Disney is like no other. I love it!!!

[@chaz12582]

I’m so glad Jessica went to the doctor! Piece of mind is a huge deal! I hope her leg got better! You guys were like “See you later alligator, we’ve got buffet reservations!”

[@karamiddleton1467]

I love Bailey's romper!!!!! 😍😍😍

[@aubreycatlin7397]

I love your family so much! You guys are such great parents. Bailey is so caring, Jacob is so sweet, Parker is so funny and Duncan is so cute. I always look forward to your videos.💕

The alligators are an option for those who don't want to pay their bill.😂 The bandage will improve circulation. Not to worry. If it was sever enough, they wouldn't have let you go. Duncan is so funny when he laughs.😊

[@thedachshundlover2]

This brings back so many memories from when i was younger and took a trip with my cousins to Disney world and we stayed in the boardwalk hotel which is so close to the beach house and it was amazing and so kid friendly! Enjoy cause this will be a trip that they will remember forever!

Im so glad you guys are bringing back what we learned today!

Parker’s rainbow jacket is AWESOME 🌈😍❤️

[@mesquitegirl2013]

I was coming home from a trip last year and out of no where I started to have pain in my right side and I started to worry that it was my appendix so we went to an urgent care just to find out I had gastritis. Better safe than sorry when it comes to your health

[@inaramoturi2462]

I love these episodes more than anything in the world.Thank you guys so much

[@LittleCutieABDL]

Hey Biomedical Scientist here, i was just thinking the same, about DVTs as you guys travel pretty much nonstop where you do a lot of plane and train and car transfers, although the Europe one you walked a lot which was great and compensated for the times you were in trains and cars which weren't a lot. Thank you for mentioning this, and don't be silly Jessica! you're not being dramatic, this may be a life or death situation and you're doing the right thing, and informing some as I presume probably most people don't know of what can happen or what simple sitting or laying down immobile for hours and hours in a car, train, aeroplane seat and so on can do to your body eventually. If you travel a lot make sure to stop by go to the toilet to pee or you know no.2 or just stop at a place if you're doing a long commute in a car or vacation where you can stop and walk around or walk around for a bit in the cabin if on an aeroplane if you're not landing or taking off of course, this is so the blood doesn't pool in your legs and 1. you feel nauseous and faint and 2. most importantly blood clots don't form which can break off and go into your lungs or brain and cause an embolism or stroke which as you may know can be fatal or leave you disabled for the rest of your life. Thank you Jessica to inform others about this. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

[@LittleCutieABDL]

oh that bandage by the way acts like a compression sock. That is pretty much it

[@leeeps555]

Duncan laugh is the cutest !! 😍😍

[@MichelleEvans]

Yeah Florida is great for the little lizards. It really is beautiful down there.Duncan found something funny at the end and it was so cute

Disney World is the best! Can’t wait for more vlogs☺️ and the kids are so cute!🖤

[@Stephaniecl19]

I am from Florida and lived here my entire life. The alligator dramatic part made me laugh. Because the gators probably didn't even notice you. They won't do anything unless you are right at the water line. 😅

Heey, if you are in Europe ever again, and you are in the Netherlands or in Belgium. You should visit the "Efteling" it is a themepark in The Netherlands. It is based upon the fairytales written by the Grimm brothers. It has lovely rides. Especially the "droomvlucht" which is translated into "dreamflight". But if you ever have a chance to visit the Efteling. You should definitely do it.

[@vstocker666]

I would recommend goin! I'm 34 n had blood clots n it got outa control turned into endocarditis collapsed my lungs n damaged my heart valve n ended up having open heart surgery, if I would've got it early prolly could've avoided it. Never neglect ur health. Love ur vlogs!

[@jaclynsim5361]

I’m dealing with the same thing! I think it’s muscle cramps/spasms.. blood work came back low vitamin D it was the end of winter in Nj so I wasn’t getting vitamin d from the sun.. I’m going for an ultrasound soon as they’re not completely gone yet and it’s been like a month.
