EMMA IS SICK HAD A SEIURE! MARK SHARES HIS CHILDHOOD TRAUMA!EMMA AND ELLIE

[@xoJuliexofansa]

Vascovagal syncope is what she was experiencing!! I experience it every time I get my blood drawn, get injured, or anytime I go into a panic. Definitely look it up because there are ways to prevent it!! It’s not deadly but it can be really traumatic. Hope Emma starts to feel better soon 💗

[@emmaandellie]

Yes this is what they called it thank you I couldn’t remember because I was so scared.

[@makiebobo30]

I have vasovagal syncope! I take salt tablets every day and drinks lots and lots of water. They told me hydration is the most important for me but I will not do any good drinking water without a salt tablet to help me absorb it. I also ended up having to get an iron infusion for mine- they said my feratin levels were low and that was contributing to my severity of my vasovagal syncope!

[@savannahromero6771]

Heather described her symptoms as being seizure-like, so I didn't think it was syncope. But it makes sense that it could be this since she was getting blood drawn.

[@xoJuliexofansa]

@@savannahromero6771 vascovagal syncope is associated with pseudo-seziures, which are “fake” seizures, (doctors say) but they still feel very real to anyone that goes through them.

[@christie8822]

​@emmaandellie I really noticed for past years emma sufferers bad with anxiety will you be getting her help? Like a therapist?

[@chickensaladandfries5830]

That's beyond absurd that her family doctor wouldn't give referrals . That's neglect.. Emma has been sick 6 times in 5 months that right there is all a Doctor would need to have the proof something isn't right. 104 degree fever is very high. I hope she feels better soon and they find out what's going on?

[@emm1921]

Thank you for sharing a part of your story with us Mark, I’m so sorry for what you went through. It fills my heart with happiness that you finally get to live and make a happy life, one you have always deserved. With 3 beautiful ladies who love you and look up to you. You are a wonderful husband, father, and man. Who didn’t let his hard times define him and instead took charge of his life and made it a good one! And Emma I hope you start feeling better soon girly. I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling well. I know you’ve been going through it lately. Hopefully you will get the help you need with being sick so often and hopefully they can get you feeling better! Heather you are an incredible mama, wife, and woman! You are always so strong for everyone and through every situation thrown your way. You are such a beautiful person inside and out! Ellie you are so funny, and such a great kid! You and your dad crack me up when you two are together. You are growing into a sweet young lady!

[@christie8822]

This is beautiful 😭

[@Lilybella1989]

What a sweet comment!! ❤

[@nicolejohnson2985]

Loved this ‼️

[@krisgrandinetti5797]

I loved Mark sharing about his childhood. 🥰 And Emma 100% needs blood work done. You shouldn’t have to fight so hard to get good medical care! 😡

[@NIGHTSH3DE]

I know you said the seizure was anxiety given but also seizures are REALLY common with high fevers. My sibling used to have a seizure everytime he got a fever.

[@lindseyphibbs2736]

as someone who has an auto immune disease and gets sick often I would recommend emma try and get into an immunologist! they can run lots of tests about what is going on with her immune system

[@katiehart6338]

that’s what it seems something with her immune system

[@YenellyT]

I need to do this but who do I ask? I grew up getting strep and tonsillitis every 2 weeks. Always had to miss school do to it. Then when I got older I got my tonsils taken out and then after that I get sick so often with horrible colds and fevers. Last school semester I wa sick like every other week again.

[@lindseyphibbs2736]

@@YenellyT If you still go to a pediatric dr. have them refer you to an immunologist or call one in your area and make an appointment the strep thing is kinda weird and could possibly be what I have!

[@lindseyphibbs2736]

I would love to connect and talk about your symptoms!

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

That’s a great idea she could of Auto immune diseases! I have some too I get sick a lot too!

[@paigewilliams4370]

Marks chat while waiting for Ellie really hit home for me. Definitely needed it 😢

[@NovemberRain007]

What a wonderful and moving testimony from Mr. Mark💙. I grew up in foster care and turned into a wayward kid. I got pregnant when I was 12 and I finally turned my life around when my baby was born. I started working when I was 15, I saved up most of my money and about a year after I aged out of the system, I had saved enough money to buy my very own manufactured home. My little boy and I never had anything of our very own, I always kept my belongings in trash bags and/or my backpack because I never knew how long I would be staying in a home. When I bought our little house, my baby had his own room, I had my very own room, and we even turned the other two rooms into a play area and a library. When I was growing up I always dreamed of having a large book shelf and now my little boy had a room filled with books! Mr. Mark is absolutely right about being able to turn our lives and circumstances around in spite of coming from humble and horrific beginnings. My son is now 16, we are not wealthy by any means but I continue to work hard to provide a beautiful life for him in spite of everything❤

[@feat.shanika]

103.3 is what we treat in ER! Maybe a febrile seizure? Or she vasovagaled out? I'd get a second opinion. You should request bloodwork to be done as well yes like you stated. You can call an ENT and then put the authorization through insurance and call insurance company. I've had similar issues.

[@NIGHTSH3DE]

I thought the same, definitely thinking febrile seizure as well from experience

[@keira_nd]

i was thinking febrile seizure as well. especially since her temp was so high

[@jenniferrussell7905]

I came to say the exact same thing! I feel like she had a seizure due to her fever being so high! I would definitely get a second opinion!

[@savannahromero6771]

I was thinking she needed to go to the ER right away. I wouldn't have waited until the urgent care clinic opened.

[@courtneyhall4357]

That’s crazy that the dr wouldn’t give her tests. We need to find out what’s wrong with her, I hope she feels better soon. Getting sick all the time isn’t normal.

[@mely260]

I hope Emma is good. I loved Mark’s openness in this video, loved hearing abt his past. Very appreciated that he shared this all with us.

[@chloegauthier4378]

I love listening to Mark, really enjoyed his talk about life! Love you guys! Hope Emma feels better; you’re family is truly wonderful, every single one of you

[@michellejones4934]

I always love it when Mark talks. He has a story to tell. He is well spoken. Prayers for Emma. Obviously, something is causing the high fever. It's probably just viral, but they need to do full blood work.

[@lindseyphibbs2736]

praying for emma can’t believe she keeps getting sick, this poor girl can’t get a break

[@Bree628]

Prayers go out to Emma 🙏🏼 I hope she has a speedy recover ❤

[@shaneleaton8539]

I hope Emma feels better and you can get some answers as to why she’s been sick all the time! 💛 As always, you guys are in my prayers!!

[@natalya.azaria]

I pray Emma gets better. One thing I suggest is doing a heavy metal cleanse. Everyone has heavy metals anybody, but when they become an overload, it can become toxic and we need to detox them. This can be done with preferably wild blueberries or ( regular ones), celery juice and asparagus, cilantro even lemon water . It could be done separately like for example, the celery juice can be juiced separately. lemon water can be drank by itself.

[@aliharvey206]

Mark’s an awesome dad I loved this laid back style vlog from him

[@staceyc.3228]

I loved hearing mark talk it was not only inspirational but really connected us to him and learning more. That just shows u never know someone’s story🫶🏻

[@kaileygorecki9652]

I love that mark sharing more about him self and his he’s definitely getting more involved in the videos! Love to see it!!!

[@taivialevesque1776]

When mark said “yeah I feel you when we buy food and put it in the fridge and next thing you know it’s gone “ HAHAHA

[@MakeupbyRocky]

As someone who has a thyroid issue (hashimotos and hypothyroidism) and had to go through multiple doctors to get one to listen. And she has gotten me to a point I no longer need to be on meds (which I was told was never going to be a thing). Go to a new doctor until you get answers. Something is wrong with Emma. Find out what is wrong even when she’s on her good days.

[@Shay-ew6yt]

Eyes burst when mama said Emma had a seizure, I love y’all so much. Emma you will feel better, and get this figured out. I have a low immune system so i always feel sick/ get sick. Loved listening to mark talk about life, I hope you guys have a amazing rest of your week!

[@Opp-pack93]

Thanks for sharing your story Mark. You have some great advice too. Life isn't always peachy. Bad things get throw your way and you just have to take it ya know. Get well soon Emma.

[@jegadabadung]

Thanks for sharing Mark. serve as example to keep on trying until your life gets going, despite ups and downs

[@katelynedwards1885]

This is by far my favorite video, it shows viewers that everybody’s life isn’t perfect and you work for what you have. Life isn’t sunshine and rainbows for people that have nice things and a bit more money. I grew up in a tough home I’m in fostercare but when I lived with My parents they had money money and everybody didn’t wanna be friends with me or hated me because of it and now they look at my life I’m in fostercare and still have a good life but completely different life style.

[@tayler5314]

Didn’t know I needed Mark’s words so much until I cried watching this! Thank you guys for all you do 🤍

[@amieecrutchfield686]

Prayers for Emma and the family that y’all can get whatever is going on with her figured out. Thank you for sharing part of your story Mark. Love you guys!

[@averi-sv6jx]

having a seizure is scary, emma is so brave and it sucks that she has to go through this

[@donnadondon5010]

Love this laid bare vlog from Mark. Can only imagine him speaking on this stirred internal memories. Just want to take this moment to say thank you for being so honest, vloggers & influences often paint a picture perfect life that isn't always as it seems, you guys are so real & relatable, it's good to see you strip back the 'typical vloggers layers' as they say to show viewers that you aren't alone & that 'we' all as humans deal with 'real' struggles in life... Respect. Sorry you even went through this as a child Mark applaudes you for having not let these things follow into adulthood. You are an amazing family, great values & so much respect to you all. Wise words Mark. 👏 I'm so sorry also that Emma is poorly once more, I hope you get those bloods & investigations done soon. Feeling so poorly sucks. Not been around for a lil while busy with life... just finished a block of harrowing nightshifts at work so sat catching up on your wonderful vlogs. Much love from a wet, dull rainy UK. Lol. ❤️

[@nancyparker1410]

OMG, sending prayers to Emma for a speedy recovery! Happy Mother's day!

[@penguinlove801]

Marks story is inspiring!

[@magmasaga269]

It's so coincidental that Mark mentioned Ellie babysitting Emma. Because Heather talking to the camera as she was putting on her makeup, brought back fond memories of me--being the oldest--babysitting my siblings, and my Mom giving me final instructions, before she and my Dad went out for a date night.

[@3m07]

so crazy that they refused to run those test. make sure to get something from the doctors office stating that they REFUSED to do so. i’m glad emma is doing well, such a scary thing to experience and witness.

[@brianziggy1]

I hope that Emma is feeling better soon and that she can get the blood work done to figure out what is going on. I truly feel bad for her. She has been sick so much and it just isn't right and something is going on. I am glad to hear that stitch is doing better. Mark, thank you for sharing part of your story with us. I can relate to it. You are living proof that it doesn't matter where you come from or the hardships you have endured that good things can and do happen if you work hard to make a better life for yourself and also for your family.

I know y'all wear Shein clothes my cousin got her Lead levels checked because she was very sick and they were very high! We're pretty sure there's levels of lead in shein clothes maybe Emma should get her lead levels checked just to be sure!

[@emmatr56]

I had the exact same thing happen to me about a month ago! I’m 20 and was just diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. I passed out for a full 10 minutes while giving blood. Had to go to the ER and contacted my primary care and they wouldn’t give me a referral, but told me I needed to be seen immediately by a doctor. My mom had to call back and they wouldn’t give her one either so had to find a cardiologist on my own it was crazy

Poor Emma 🥺 I hope she is okay!! ❤

That must be really traumatic for you Mark I hope you all stay blessed and healthy. 🙌

Really hope my girl gets her health figured out! My oldest daughter who reminds me a ton of Emma has dealt with the same thing she has gotten sick about six times in the last year and it always targets her throat though the kid has needed her tonsils out since she was a toddler! But the doctors just push it aside and seem to not wanna do the surgery and especially now! The older she gets the harder it is! I appreciate Mark talking to us! Sorry you experienced that growing up but you’re so right! There’s always and upside to e dry story! And YES school pizza was the BEST in our day!!

I’m so sorry Emma is going through all of this, I really do hope and pray that they find an answer soon she deserves better I completely understand what she is going through I’ve had undiagnosed health problems for the past eight years and every single time I ask for a referral they tell me nothings wrong with me, such bullshit!

[@graceelmu]

With her neck hurting it also could be meningitis. I would definitely get her seen by an ENT, immunologist, and or rheumatologist. ENT for tonsils if she has them still, immunologist to see why her immune system is being overworked and not working properly, and a rheumatologist because it may be autoimmune or autoinflammatory.

[@graceelmu]

A good test before going to rheumatology is an ANA panel.

[@lindaball403]

That family Dr. Done peed me off. I hope she starts feeling better. Something isn't right. I can't even imagine how scary it was for you when you seen Emma in that chair. I'm gonna do research with the info I have. Mark, I am not your Mom but probably old enough to be. I am proud of the man you are today! A sweet, loving husband and father. Plus you are funny! My sisters hubby, she is a cougar. He is almost 40. He was in the system in and out growing up, also on Indiana. Praying for Emma.

It could be It could be related to a vitamin deficiency, dehydration, problems with your immune system, or inadequate hygiene, among other possibilities.

Mark, it is not necessary for you to do what you just did BUT let me tell you, it is so appreciated. It give us viewers no right to assume anything about your life or your families life. However, speaking for myself it is so freaking easy to just assume something. You opening up about how you grew up and how both you and Heather worked from the ground up to get to what you both have now with the girls. That is fantastic. One it shows those people who talk trash something to process. Second, it helps others (myself included) that life is not easy and struggles in life is life. Work hard, be kind to yourself and others and believe in yourself. All things will work out. Hope Emma feels better soon and hope the pup feels better after his appointment. Thank you again for sharing.
