A parent watching their child turning blue. got to be one of scariest things to see.
GOD BLESS KING AND FAMILY.
Are you insane god bless king and family. King conman more like and your a clown full stop .
My nephew is autistic and not verbal he is now 18 years old and has seizures at least 2 a week. So we know how much it tears at you and how much love and prayers are needed. So I am sending prayers to you and your family.
You are a very loving and caring husband and father. I take my hat off to you.
You have a second family here with your regulars and we're behind you 100%. Got your 6, bro.
My grandson is autistic 5years old. He is our special child..luv him so much..we are blessed ..God bless..
husband speaking age 81 - sorry for your trauma over your son. Our boy had a Febrile seizure about age 2. We had
just finished supper, I was brushing my teeth and ready to leave for a first aid class. Ryan was still in his high chair,
suddenly mom (wife) called, frantic that Ryan was not breathing. His mouth was locked and turning blue. Both scared,
called 911 and our Fire Dept. was only about 6 blocks away. By the time the medics got there, he had loosened up.
We were told that his body stiffens up to try to break the fever. About a week later he had his 2nd attack. I was just
getting home and saw the fire truck at the house. By this 2nd time the Dr. said if he has a 3rd attack he will have to be on
a med of some kind until he was 10 or 12. From that day on for the next 6 or 7 years when ever Ryan had a cold, my
wife would wake up every 4 hours for days to give Ryan his cold meds. That is a mother's love, to do that for years for her child.
Mark you are doing an awesome job parenting, and as a father of four grown children I can assure you that what Forest G is going through is far harder on you than it is on him, his environment is not harmful to him, it will only ensure he develops an amazing immune system. Please don't take him away from what he has there. The audio is fine, we love the realism.
Audio is fantastic "Great microphone work"
God bless Forest G.
You're the best father Forest G. can ask for. Praying for the best. God bless you sir!
I had those seizures when I was about four years old. I got sick, my temp spiked, and I had a seizure. Thank God I never had another seizure again.
You’re a strong brave father. I trust and stand by any decision you make. No one can decide what’s best for their kids but the parents. One day at a time my man. Stay strong 💪🏻.
My prayers for you and family Mark! I cannot imagine the pain! God, please heal this little boy. 😢
Felt like I was sitting across from you. Just being real in your environment. Love watching you. God bless.
I know my opinion doesn't matter much and I only see a few minutes of your families life, but I think I see a big improvement in Forest since you moved where you are now. The boy is thick and super healthy looking.. And he seems way more calm and happy. Hums a happy tune while he's playing. Anyway he's got a great mom and dad and big sis and now an extended family of aunts, uncles, gramma a grandpa, cousins. As I'm typing this i hear you saying pretty much the same thing.
I agree with you it's been like therapy for Forrest G.
My son had them from 2-5 yrs old. Very disturbing at first but he's 17 now and ended up okay. Hang in there Forest
Forrest is such a beautiful child….as well as Maria who will always look after Forrest…Thanks Mark for sharing this heartfelt story….😊
Fantastic presentation. New to your channel in the last month or so and have binged watched 7 episodes.Was stationed at Clark AFB for 18 months (1966/67). Filipinos are warm, wonderful people and once accepted as a friend you are family. Appreciate your dilemma. Trust in yourself to make the right decision for your family. Please keep the videos coming!
Forrest G and your entire family is in our prayers Sir! Stay Strong
Praying for Little Forrest G.
I’m so sorry Marco I couldn’t imagine going through this with one of my children! I pray you never have to go through one this bad again and can find a better doctor to find a way to prevent these.
marcos.. let me give u some advice since my son is autistic and non verbal.. he also is on meds for seizures that the drs say, mimic a seizure. my best advice to you is, get him to see a neuroligist my friend. he just needs to be on the right medication for it, my son has gone 4 years no seizures. seizures are triggered by alot like. loud noise, bright lights.. just make sure forest is on his side when he has one. i am praying for u my friend. the sooner he sees a specialist, the better. god has blessed you with a beautiful family. my son is on depakote 250 mg twice a day, along with folic acid tablets. i know it hurts to see your child going thru this. non verbal children are very smart, they just do not talk, see if forest can see some kind of a speech therapy. god bless u my friend. its a tuff situation to be in, but as parents, we must do whats best for our children. my son lives with me full time, he cannot be left alone too.. i would not trade it for anything. my son was 4 pounds at birth..
I feel for you my military brother. As I’ve told you my youngest Granddaughter is a non verbal Autistic beautiful little girl and it’s so frustrating and friggen hard at times and wish I could take it from her so she could live more comfortably. 😢
Such a scary medical emergency. Way to stay calm and doing what your old training taught you. Praying that Forrest G has no more complications.
My nephew in Himamaylan City Philippines has autism also. I wish you comfort for what ever your going through with your son.
I'm so sorry Marcos that has to be absolutely devastating to experience as a parent. It's very obvious how much you care for your children. I wish your family the best and many Blessings! 💛
Hey Brother stay strong my wife and I have watched that young man grow up and always hope things work out for your family.I told my wife when we move to the Philippines in May that within a year we got to go visit Overstay....she yes we do she said that you all are like family she never misses a video....keep strong we will always be praying for you all from this old East Tennessee boy and Filipino wife.
I feel for you brother and I’m praying for your son. I think you are a great father to your family.
This happened to me two times in cagian de oro . My wife's niece had a high fever and seasure. It was about 10:30 at night . Surprised everyone and am running out on the street to get a ride to the hospital . My wife also got them as a child and grew out of it . I was just about asleep and tired from a long day when everyone was crying and shouting . 12 people or more crowded around trying to figure out what was wrong . Both times had no idea if she would make it . Very scary mark will never forget it .
Be strong brother for your boy.
I have been here since Mt.Pinatubo. And several people have died around me foreigners and Filipino's alike. I believe with a better medicaI system that is available to all they might still be here. I spent a lot of time with special needs children and adults. I trust you know what's best for FG. I personally would feel better if he was seen by medical professionals better equipped and more experienced. Take care.🙏🏼
Marcos this had to be one of your hardest video to do. I am a retired firefighter paramedic also. I have a 4 month old Filipino son. The health care there is not like usa. You did exactly what I would have done. Thank you for your service
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
He rescues those whose spirits are crushed."
- Psalms 34:18
Wish your son well Marcos. I hope you find the right care for him. Praying for him and your family.
Breaks my heart for you all...those started for us later around age 10. We tried many meds, but still had breakthroughs..scary for sure. I didnt sleep for years for fear of him falling out of bed & getting hurt. Now at 18, he's not had any for over a year...still on meds. I've had to use the emergency meds a few times too...ugh..sending hugs ! Hug precious FG for me ♥♥♥♥♥♥
God bless that little man and you and your family Mark. I can imagine how scared everyone was for Forrest G.
Thank you for sharing this with us Mark. I know it's a difficult situation and a scary one at that. I believe you or 100 percent correct about having Forrest G being around his family and where your living is better for him and you guy's than anyplace else. God bless you all.
Very sobering talk.
It is obvious that, you are logical, intelligent, and capable of making the right decisions in the most difficult situations. Forrest G is a beautiful little boy, surrounded by a very loving family.
Lots of love to you all.
Best wishes ❤🏴
My sympathies for your recent struggles and wisdom to make the right decisions.
Wow Mark so sorry 😢 we love Forest and Maria… I got really better care in a Manila than in the USA with food poisoning. The female doctor was not only beautiful but top notch. She went to school in the Philippines and the USA 🇺🇸 …..
God bless little Forrest and family Marcos 🙏🙏
thanks for sharing ,I have a son dealing with issues too,your not alone bro.
I hope forest is going to be ok, your good dad , you can see in your face how much you love forest, my son is also autistic and it is a daily battle, good luck your a great dad
more like good youtube actor
Prayers for healing for your handsome son🙏❤️ GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
I would like to say to you Mark is that I love your raw content no holds barred
Praying for your little man. 🙏🏼
Hi Mark, about 12 years ago we were living in Henderson,Nv. Our grandson was 1 year old at the time. He had his vaccines due for that age but a few days before his vaccinations he had been a little sick, the day after his vaccination he had a seizure just like you described. My wife and daughter and I did panic and called 911. About 10 medical EMT, Fire dept showed up in just a few minutes. By the time they left with him for the Hospital he came out of it. No one ever said the name Femile seizure. Thank you for your video. You have a wonderful family, we pray for no more seizures. Wish we could do more. ❤️
The poor child just had a fever. No big deal. It happens in young children. No damage done. He just couldn’t handle the high temperature. You’ll be alright little man. You’re stronger than they all think. All good papa Marcos. I experienced this with my baby and it’s not going to be a threat to your boy. For this type of seizure break out the ice and lay child in tub.
I have to comment again Marco This was a real tear jerking video man
We all knew about it but not in detail and it was was very honorable and heartfelt for you to share with us Y’all are doing a amazing job with little man and we pray that things will get better 🙏🏼🤍
I live in Mindanao with my Autistic son. He’ll be age 23 on April 20. My son is non-verbal too. Only people caring for an Autistic person understands the daily difficulties. I’m sorry about your boy having seizures. It’s tough. I’ll pray for you. Take care.
Do not beat yourself up,keep loving him man
Hang in there Mark. Seems like you are doing the right thing there and now. Your family needs you and your sound thinking and action. Hopefully, he grows out of them soon.
Great video about autistic child, medical care and life. Sound was no really bad as you have an excellent mike for voice. Some vloggers are difficult to understand in a quiet room. One of your best on life situation.
You was the reason i traveled to Philippines...i was on my death bed, in a wheelchair ♿️, asking my god , "why me"...i saw your video , and it inspired me to travel...i couldn't walk when i visited asia...i can walk now.....salute
I understand autism I under stand seizures It’s in my family and I worked with it every day. No one wants to watch it. No one wants to have them, but they’re there. Be strong. Specially, for your child.
Keep the child right there mate ,his loved right there
Coming from the heart....probably your best video ever,,,bravo Mark
Prayers out for forest G. God is our healer and our provider. God will carry that child in his hands. God bless your entire family.
For as truly devastating these circumstances must be to you and your family I deeply sympathize, and appreciate your willingness to openly discuss matters such as these in a "wearing your heart on your sleeve" type manner, I believe it helps other's reflect upon their very own life, crisis, realities!
Speaking for myself, these discussions are like free therapy, rather than paying
Psycho-the-rapist.
Wishing peace, love, health and happiness to you and yours.
Iam here in Davao Mark and its scary thinking about the situation your in with your young child man even your own health iam in the same boat i have myhealth problems but if i go down i wont be getting revived i dont know what to say about the health system here in the Philippines they are resilient people but they can be stubborn they wont change things even when its visibly not working its a long road here its not easy man all the best hey iam proud of you for sticking it out and doing your best your a good man.
BTW Maria Mercedes is also extremely nice to her brother, love her for her patience with him
Hi Mark great discussion and video. I’ve never commented before and subscribed years ago. I think you should hold the fort . Monitor and then reevaluate the situation down the road . Prayers for Forrest G and your family.
Anybody who's been watching you for any length of time knows one thing is an UNDISPUTED FACT!.... NOTHING is more important to you in life than the health and well being of Forrest G and Maria. Glad Forrest G made it through okay. GOD BLESS YOU AND THE FAM MY BROTHER!
Praying Forest G will stop having these seizures soon. Sending support to you all. God bless.
Your a good father. Be proud
My son has autism and epilepsy. He's stable on medication now and seizure free. Forrest OG will be fine! He's a healthy boy!
Love and blessings to you all. Beautiful family ❤️🙏
You are so gentle and patient with your children I so admire you and love your show God Bless 🎉❤🎉 Happy Valentine Day to you and your beautiful family!!!
Hey Marcus..i can see by your personality you aren't one to panic in situations..that's a big plus..stay strong bro
Are used to live in New York City, Yonkers, New York, and at the time my daughter was just born she was having febrile seizures for the first time we finally moved to Florida and she no longer has them. She’s now 22 so it does go away just to let you know, dad
A good plus for forrest is that you said you have past medical training. So when something happens like that he has a someone around that knows what to do other then panicking.
These are your best work. No BS educational stuff. Glad y’all are ok. Prayers all around. 🙏🙏
Thermometer and oxymeter is a must have at home so you can monitor your kids temperature, pulse and oxygen level. I think ForestG was really dehydrated. Maybe it happened when you guys walked to the village in the heat and ForestG was not drinking enough liquid which caused him to have a headache and a high fever. I wanted to share my experience… Things like that happened to us a lot when we were kids. My family couldn’t afford to send us to the hospital but we managed to control the fever by taking Biogesic, drink Gatorade or Pedialyte and Vitamin C intake and a rice porridge and banana for meal and we put ice pack on our forehead to prevent having a seizure. If our condition doesn’t improve after 3 days that’s when we seek medical advice. It is always good to see the doctor and have them diagnose the condition to know exactly what was wrong. We filipinos are very resilient and majority of Filipinos don’t have a healthcare insurance that is why we managed to take care of ourselves as best as we can.
May God protect your child Forrest G!! We will pray for his health!!!🙏😎
Very good video Marcos, shows how a father really is dealing with in a foreigner country,I give props man 👍
Thank you for sharing, stay strong, and am certain he will get better soon, just need to reach out for a better health care center nearby, as you said having family around is the greatest blessings....love you Maria and FG ....stay safe...
Fatima and Marcos you are both blessed with your two children. The excitement in their voices as they enter the home village.
Keep strong out there brother. God has plans for us all.
my son was hurt by a steroid for his esophagus. They had him on an antipsychotic, Naltrexone to cover it up. He began having seizures. Im suing them all. Stay strong!!
Praying for Forrest G🙏🏼so Sorry hes goig through that
I’m happy to share my experiences with having a younger brother by 2 years. I seen him have a turn in the sand pit when we were both under 10 years old
Praying for Forest and your family💖
my sympathy and best wishes . we all have a cross to bear...i have borne a cross all my life . (from childhood severe abuse ) we all just do the best we can, its all we can do .
You make my day man, keep it up markus
Keep being amazing parents as you both are, Love is the best remedy for Forest. He is doing fine.
Hearts out to you and your family mark
That little man is in safe hands
My grandson was in the same situation until he was about five years old. I told you it can be very scary when these seizures happen. What we were alert of is that we do not take it for granted the smallest fever he had. I hope Forest G makes it through. Because mama told me life is like a box of chocolate you never know what you gonna get inside.
Mark, I can't even imagine what you and Fatima are going through You are incredible parents and we are praying for Forest G and your loving family.
I feel for you Bro. my mother had mental illness and Nephew is also a person with disability and others. It needs patients but God loves them too.
You need sound proofing panels. How about egg cartons for the walls and duct tape for the lips? 😊
I'm a paramedic. Currently, witnessed seizures lasting longer than 1 minute, or 3 seizures within 10 minutes are considered an emergency and instantly medicated. Midazolam.
All seizures are treated with a hospital assessment until a diagnosis is established.
I hope any of this helps.
You’re a good Father Marcos. All the best to you and your family.
Yo King Marcos. Thanks for sharing Lil Forest G story with us. I know it was hard because I can tell from your face how much it hurt to see Forest G like that and not being able to do anything about it. Im glad you figured it out and know how to handle it like a G now when it happens. Stay blessed my friend and live that life up. Sending you and your family love from Seattle, WA.
Brother God Bless you. Forrest G will grow out of it.
As for the Audio,please allow the ladies to do what ladies do esspecially MARIA she is a very bright child.
Love your over stay
You'll be fine in whatever you decide, because you see the reality of life!
So sorry you all are dealing with this and sorry for Forest. I hope things get better for you all. Praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
King im so sorry you and Fatima are going through this with Forrest i hope and pray that he Doesn't have anymore seizures .
Praying for Forest
I say these thing because my x filipina I finally figured out was a high functioning lady on the spectrum she found relief through hot yoga, avmacol, weight blankets is she normal I’d say no but she’s much happier and I’m glad for her
It is very challenging and difficult to give a child with special needs or an elderly parent that has health issues the care that they need and sometimes you feel like you can't do or aren't doing enough because of it, you feel bad because maybe you hate to see that happening. You love your kids so much, I can see that, Forrest is a great kid and Maria Mercedes is a doll, My Wife adores that little girl. Just keep pluggin away brother and maybe you can find a specialist that can help.
You seem to have a good control over his issues from what your video's show when you are there. My family has the same thing my sister has some training in dealing with special needs children having one of her own education is the best way to go
