Okay Mama Bates is the best! I just watched Lawson & Tiffany’s vlog where she attended their first ultrasound, she visits Erin & Chad, and here she is coming to the hospital for Carlin’s test. With 19 kids she still finds a way to be present and active in the kids life and always provides the greatest advice. Bless Mama Bates!
I'm sorry for the frustration, but so thankful that it's not epilepsy. The thing that helps most is the positive attitude. I know it's not something you can maintain daily, but you still maintain. I know it's because of your faith, and I'm so thankful you haven't lost it! May the good Lord continue to carry you gently through this process. Our prayers are with you ❤
Im on the same boat, Ive struggled with many symptoms over 2 decades but labs/tests always look great. I finally let go and started focusing on things that were in my control...diet, lifestyle, including stress management. Diet has been lifechanging. Eliminating processed foods, eating whole foods...and for me easing it on heavy carbs (I found out i may have blood sugar issues) made a BIG difference. Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands, and find alternative routes. May god bless your family and mental health as you manage this bump on the road. Best wishes 💕
I had this exact thing happen to me in 2011. Did the 5 day EEG study and everything. Here I am in 2023 and just got diagnosed with POTS and PTSD. Therapy and increase of salt and change of meds helped out tons! Good luck to you!
Evan you are such a strong support for Carlin. You are both very fortunate to have each other . Well done Carlin that can’t have been easy for you. 5 days is a long time. 🍀🍀🍀🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Ty Carlin , you're amazing. So sweet of y'all to share this personal stuff. We love y'all and we do pray for you. Gods timing. Love you guys. Mom Bates is always the best. She makes time for all her babies when they need her. Priceless!
You're right Evan. My phone went off at 11:18 pacific time. It was early. Blessings to both of you. A stressful situation, I'm sure. Especially with young children at home. You guys are doing so great. An inspiration to all. Prayers.
I continue to pray for you Carlin.. for complete deliverance and healing from these episodes as God wills. My husband and I are in full time ministry in NC. We hope to visit your church next Sunday evening. Prayers for all of your family.🙏
Happy to hear that you're not an epileptic. Nice to see that you're in such good spirits considering going through this frustrating situation. Hopefully sooner than later they will figure out what's going on and, no more seizures. So nice to see you and Evan in such good spirits going through all of this. Sending much love your way! See you on the next one! 🤗💕
So thankful it is not epilepsy. Praying you will both get the answers soon. God bless you and your beautiful family!!!! You guys brighten my Saturdays!!!! I love y’all!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
I pray that you find answers to your health issues and that you can move forward with your life. It was strange that America and Russia did their Emergency alert test on the same day, same time?
That was so sweet of Mrs. Bates to come stay at the hospital with ya'll, especially till 4:00 am. Prayers for Carlin that they can eventually find out what's wrong. Ya'll had me cracking up at the end about the room being cleaned 😂!! I would have read it the same way Evan.
It's so cute to see how Kelly is always showing up when Carlin isn't doing good.❤️ And also how supportive Evan is during all of this!! U guys are an amazing family!!!
OMG that's definitely a bouncing Bates baby boy! He's so precious and (thank the Lord) healthy. Taryn is amazing with newborns. What a talent! Ryker has changed so much in 3 weeks, thank you so much for sharing your little family with us. (including Mauis adjustment to her baby brother. I would absolutely love to see a day in the life with a newborn and maybe Mom and Dad's first date night? (When Mommy is ready of course!) Can't wait to see Jackson and Ember's wedding next week. Love y'all, much blessings. 💙
My Sons five day seizure study, finally got him the diagnosis of his seizure types, what parts of the brain they were coming from and he is successfully treated with the right seizure meds now. His seizure activity is from a Brain injury he sustained at birth, but it took until he was eighteen years old, to get the meds right. Probably because he was growing, and has other health and developmental things going on. I had seizure like issues for a couple years, that turned out to be Narcolepsy. Once treated, problem near perfectly solved. So many things can cause seizure looking episodes and seizures. So glad you are getting to the bottom of your health battle. 🙏🙏🙏
Kelly Jo is the sweetest Mom ever !! Love the entire family. Carlin and her family are precious and always put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for shariñg your lives. My prayers are with you, Carlin, and I know that God has you in His hands.
Prayers that Carlin gets some answers. I too have Epilepic episodes with no “diagnosis”(be 5 yrs. in Dec since started), and told its “all in my head”, and stress. But I know there’s something but have come to accept whatever it is and just continue to try to live my my life, just know now what not to do(that can cause a episode), Carlin just keep enjoying your family and your life, and don’t let whatever it is take control. God Bless you!!
Sending love and prayers Gods got this and so do you! You have such a beautiful family and both sides of your families are amazing. Your mom is beautiful too I can see where Carlin gets her beauty from. The babies are so darn cute! You're amazing parents. ❤❤
So proud of you guys- that must have been a tough 5 days, but you always manage to keep your spirits up. So happy that something else got crossed off the list and praying for more answers. Love The Stew Crew Saturday mornings!!🙏😘
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Saturday afternoon and evening with the kids and hope everything goes smoothly according to the doctors and nurses and praying for Carlin and hope the testing goes well.🙏💖
Great news Carlin. I do understand your frustration. I'm going through the same type of deal. I've had two biopsies(thinking I have cancer), but nothing shows. Im just living life with happiness and not dwell on what could or might be!
As someone who took 17 years for a correct diagnosis. I am praying so hard for you Carlin. I understand i’m sitting here on the edge of my seat wanting you to have a seizure so bad so you can get answers. I know that feeling prayers and love to your family ❤
Carlin you are so brave I'm praying for you I can't imagine what you are going through but one thing I know God's got you and you are loved and prayed for blessings to you and your precious family we love y'all❤❤❤❤
Praying for you and your family Carlin. Just remember God is still the best doctor and prayer is still the best medicine. 🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤ Love you Carlin and family!!
I am so happy that Epilepsy has been ruled out for you Carlin. I can’t remember if POTS and/or Dysautonomia has been ruled out for you also. Evan you have a beautiful voice! I remember doing the 5 day EEG with my son at 2 years old and 4 years old. Keeping him entertained was tough! It is quite the boring hospital stay for sure!
Aww Carlin you really are amazing, coping with all that with such a good natured attitude; and Evan you are such a wonderful husband, giving your wife this support and comfort right along side her!
My heart goes out to you and the kids I know. This is hard on everybody, but my prayers are with you. And the doctors to find out why you're having seizures. God will give the doctors the answers and you😊
Hey guys, I totally feel you trying to solve what's causing Carlin's seizure episodes. I've been on a similar journey with my daughter. And we have learned that low blood sugar/hypoglycemia can cause seizures. There's a remarkable doctor in Houston, Tx named Gail Henry. She is both a neurologist and a chiropractor and is the only medical person of her distinction in the entire country. She's been a tremendous help to my family in getting to the source of my daughter's seizures, and very gratefully, we're working towards her healing. Prayers for you guys! :)
Having a chronic illness or autoimmune disease is exhausting, and we adapt & get used to it. Sad to say! Sending hope & comfort to you, Carlin! You got this momma!
I 100% agree with your comments. My issue is that unless I’m having a bad day and using my crutches or electric wheelchair I look like any other fit and well person. People can’t see my MS or my stoma/urostomy equipment attached to my stomach hidden under my clothing. Fatigue also has to be high up on my the symptoms as it doesn’t allow you to go out of the house, even get out of bed some days let alone socialising. I have lost so many friends since I got sick as I have to cancel things at short notice if I wake up and can’t move my body due to extreme pain. Chronic illness etc sucks and takes away almost all of your quality of life. I’m wishing you all of the best and that things will get better for you. Xx
Praying for good results Carlin. So sweet for your mama coming and staying with . Sweetheart I love your family so much sure miss seeing your whole family on TV . Love you guys so much. ❤❤❤
Awww I cried when kellie Jo came in. I love yall but I miss the whole Bates family show. I pray that they find out why you are having episodes and you can get better soon. We love yall
Carlin you look like your mom!!! That was sweet your mom and Whittney coming and seeing you!! Your kiddos are absolutely gorgeous!!! Can't wait for next video!!! Love and enjoy watching yall!!! Love you guys!!!❤
Glad she doing better. I love the way you guys are so sweet to each other. I know the feeling of missing your babies when you are away for a couple days.❤❤
I have to agree that it could be POTS. I’ve thought this from the beginning! My daughter has it and her symptoms are and have been exactly like Carlins! Continued prayers for you both! 🙏🏼❤️
My son was diagnosed with Benign Rolandic epilepsy when he was 5 years old. If he stayed up way to late it would cause a seizure. They did do a test on him and they triggered a seizure, it was worse than the ones he had at home…..he literally sat straight up in the bed and was shaking……..They put him on medication, which we found out later he did not need…..and they said he would grow out of it when he was around 15. But, praise the Lord with prayer he stopped having them around 12 years old!!!! Continued prayers that they find something for sweet Carlin!!! Love the Stew Crew!!! They were so nice to us at the last boutique sale!!!
Carlin / Evan, You most likely already told your care providers this but if not, be sure to let them know about taking ashwagandha, which is found in both AG1 & Nutrafol that Carlin takes daily, as it’s been found to interact with seizure medication negatively. She may not have any interaction but it’s good to let them know incase there is. ♥️
My mom had the Tilt Table Test a few years ago, it was to trigger a response in her body in a controlled environment. Ever other test she went through was deemed "normal". So she was thinking the same thing would happen "Nothing" would show. They strap you to a table and slowly tilt the table up until your pretty much standing, mom started talking and within a very short time was a mid sentence and she fainted. She didn't have POTS, she was diagnosed with when most people stand up we have valves in the legs to help shuttle blood back to the rest off the body - in my mom's case the valves dont full close meaning she has lack of blood supply getting back to the heart and resy of the the body. I dont live with her but I'm glad that she is able to tell when she is going to faint and can quickly get to a sitting position with her legs elevated it definitely helps, drinking water or Gatorade someyhinh that will replenish her system. Also she is the only person I know of that has been told to use Salt. So while this is always going to happen to her she knows whst to avoid, avoid strenuous activities in the hotter months, avoid you can taking long hot showers (she has fainted many times after a shower and a shower will drain her she has said its like runnning and biking in a steam room. Her face will become flush across her cheeks, across her nose and the tips of her ears will turn bright pink. She has fainted in the post office enough so that people pulled out their phones to call 911. Several good Samaritans caaught her before her head smacked against the floor. It started to occur at our church while she was talking to the pastor, what is ironic is he noticed her swaying a bit, her face getting red, and her eyes acting funny. He said are you ok, let's sit down. She was in the process of telling him. So, he was even aware of it before it happened. Carlin im glad that you keep asking the right questions. The testing in the hospital may not have given you the right answers you wanted but they did rule out epilepsy, every test done rules out something and brings you that much closer to a diagnosis. Praying for you and your family.
Evan you’re such a wonderful husband , you have been by Carlin’s side through all her illness with such love and patience. I’m glad she had a 5 days EEG and that for now the test seems to confirm it’s not epilepsy but sadly she didn’t have an episode wich would have been very helpful to finally find the proper diagnosis . PD:I was in the hospital for 10 months , if you are bored just for a few days imagine how that was like
Carlin, you are a brave brave girl. I know you have your down times but you seem to cope so well and you don’t let your health stop you enjoying your husband and babies. You are a ⭐️! 💕🇦🇺
27:02 I’ve been fainting since Jan 2022 and finally received a diagnosis or Dysautonomia. I think it would be beneficial for you to look that up and see if you have symptoms of that. I’ve had a lot of the tests you’ve had, and it took me changing cardiologists in order to finally get that diagnosis. Good luck!
I also have this along with many other rare diseases. I was wishing today if someone had asked Carlin about this or if she is or was oddly flexible. I feel like with doctors it’s the luck of the draw if you’re going to get a good one that wants to really look into it and help you.
I’ve been following you guys since Bringing up Bates and have been keeping up with your diagnosis journey. I just went through 2 years of doctors visits trying to figure out what my episodes are. I’ve finally got a diagnosis of POTS and this could be something to ask your neurologist about!
I've been there, had symptoms for 7 years before finally getting diagnosed. I was close to stopping the search for answers but found a great internist doctor who made all the difference.
LOL!! This video had me in stitches...Evan you're such a fun guy!! Carlin, God is in complete control of your life and that's pretty encouraging in itself. Enjoy life...sending hugs!!
I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. You make a great couple. You're positive attitude is heartwarming. It was nice to see your mom. I miss the family program. Continued prayers.
But I was you and your family in his hands. We are praying for y’all. Everything’s going to be OK can’t wait to the next video. Y’all have a blessed Saturday.❤❤
Hey Carlin! I know how frustrating it can be to not have the answers you are looking for, but the beautiful thing is after all these tests they are ruling out the big stuff, which I’m sure brings a lot of comfort! I’m sure you are already doing this, but track any changes physically, mentally, emotionally that you experience and have a journal. If it is a week before your menstrual cycle it could be due to estrogen levels in the body that affects blood pressure, and like you said could be hormonal! I pray that you all find the answers you are looking for soon, and that you continue to look to Christ as your ultimate peace and comfort❤️ God will use everything you are going through and nothing is wasted! God bless!!
Your videos always bring so much joy- Evan you’re hilarious! So happy Carlin can rule out epilepsy- I know that’s a relief! Prayers for continued answers and ultimately that the Lord brings healing!
Hi, I love you guys. It's such a sweet family. I just watched your tests and was wondering have they checked you for heavy metal poison, i.e lead im sure I heard in one o your videos your beautiful wee boy had some lead in a test could have been from nursing it could have been picked up ages ago and your getting better don't know much about metals it's just a thought I needed to pass on stay safe xxxxxxx😅
Hi Carlin, I have a condition called postural tachycardia syndrome(POTS) and orthostatic hypotension. Both these conditions cause me to faint or have pre syncope, where I do shake due to lack of oxygen to the muscles causing spasms which can look like a seizure. I was diagnosed by a cardiologist
Praying for you, Carlin! I don’t really understand what your doctors are thinking (since it took forever for them to schedule the 5 day EEG - they just seem a little too nonchalant), but I hope you have the best team possible on your side! ❤
I was wondering if they had you do some really busy stuff. The “events” you’ve shown seem to be at family gathering or a big sale etc. (arm chair Dr here😂). Continued prayers from Texas! God’s using this in a way you may never know.❤
Carlin’s mom coming and staying up with her is just the sweetest thing.
Right! She's always there when a child needs her. I just love that.
She doesn't change poop diapers so she won't babysit any kid wearing diapers!
Mrs B. Is there for everybody! Super mom!
Kelly is not there for here younger kids.
@@terri9547 move on
Carlins mom is always there when someone needs her! She is the best!!!
Some grandmas have to work or have too many health issues to take care of grandkids.
No matter what we know that God has Carlin in his hands 🙏🏽 Sending y'all positive vibes and tons of prayers. Love y'all so much ❤
I loved Evan saying “I love you” when saying goodnight. Y’all are so sweet. I love seeing y’all and your sweet children. Layla and Zade are so cute.
I really love Kelly she is the sweetest person and even with 19 kids she there for them.
Okay Mama Bates is the best! I just watched Lawson & Tiffany’s vlog where she attended their first ultrasound, she visits Erin & Chad, and here she is coming to the hospital for Carlin’s test. With 19 kids she still finds a way to be present and active in the kids life and always provides the greatest advice. Bless Mama Bates!
I'm sorry for the frustration, but so thankful that it's not epilepsy. The thing that helps most is the positive attitude. I know it's not something you can maintain daily, but you still maintain. I know it's because of your faith, and I'm so thankful you haven't lost it! May the good Lord continue to carry you gently through this process. Our prayers are with you ❤
Praying for Carlins healing! God knows just what this is and what you need. I pray divine appointments and that God would led you to what you need.
Im on the same boat, Ive struggled with many symptoms over 2 decades but labs/tests always look great. I finally let go and started focusing on things that were in my control...diet, lifestyle, including stress management. Diet has been lifechanging. Eliminating processed foods, eating whole foods...and for me easing it on heavy carbs (I found out i may have blood sugar issues) made a BIG difference. Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands, and find alternative routes. May god bless your family and mental health as you manage this bump on the road. Best wishes 💕
Yes!!!!! So true!!!
Yes, could be interesting to try a whole food keto diet for a month or two to see if that helps.
Okay, we need a video of Evan singing! He is so good in that goofy clip! You’re such a trooper Carlin! Hang in there! Prayers and blessings your way ❤
I had this exact thing happen to me in 2011. Did the 5 day EEG study and everything. Here I am in 2023 and just got diagnosed with POTS and PTSD. Therapy and increase of salt and change of meds helped out tons! Good luck to you!
I have pots too. And would have to agree. Does seem kinda like it can’t lie. I’m in a pots flare up too atm :
Epilepsy has that too
I mean Katie has POTS I feel like they would have checked on that since there is family history.
@@em.sea.squaredyes! And it’s so difficult to find a doctor that understands POTS. A lot of them dismiss it.
I believe it could be pots. Have relatives that have it
Evan you are such a strong support for Carlin. You are both very fortunate to have each other . Well done Carlin that can’t have been easy for you. 5 days is a long time. 🍀🍀🍀🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Ty Carlin , you're amazing. So sweet of y'all to share this personal stuff. We love y'all and we do pray for you. Gods timing. Love you guys. Mom Bates is always the best. She makes time for all her babies when they need her. Priceless!

LUV these 2 Precious people. Prayers for results.❤️🙏🙏🙏
I'm so happy it's probably not epilepsy!!! I'm praying for it to be healed!! 🙏 Zade was so sweet and laying as always!!!
Praying for you Carlin! I thought it was so special that Momma B stayed with you! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

Great news Carlin. I do understand your frustration. I'm going through the same type of deal. I've had two biopsies(thinking I have cancer), but nothing shows. Im just living life with happiness and not dwell on what could or might be!
Vaccinated for covid?
There is still a large group (the control) who never took the injections.
Everyone else is in the long-term trial group
Gosh, I feel your frustrations. Hopefully you'll get answers eventually. So much love ❤
Evan your an amazing man, helping Carlin making the best of Im sure this 5. Day experience wasnt the greatest

Always ask a doctor or pharmacist about drug interactions with supplements.
Coming to the comments to say the same thing. Of course always include ANY medication, even OTC, to your GP and pharmacist. It’s imperative.
I have change meds for that reason. @@shirleybrewer8921
I can’t understand why Evan didn’t stay with the kids…

I dont live with her but I'm glad that she is able to tell when she is going to faint and can quickly get to a sitting position with her legs elevated it definitely helps, drinking water or Gatorade someyhinh that will replenish her system. Also she is the only person I know of that has been told to use Salt. So while this is always going to happen to her she knows whst to avoid, avoid strenuous activities in the hotter months, avoid you can taking long hot showers (she has fainted many times after a shower and a shower will drain her she has said its like runnning and biking in a steam room. Her face will become flush across her cheeks, across her nose and the tips of her ears will turn bright pink. She has fainted in the post office enough so that people pulled out their phones to call 911. Several good Samaritans caaught her before her head smacked against the floor.
It started to occur at our church while she was talking to the pastor, what is ironic is he noticed her swaying a bit, her face getting red, and her eyes acting funny. He said are you ok, let's sit down. She was in the process of telling him. So, he was even aware of it before it happened. Carlin im glad that you keep asking the right questions. The testing in the hospital may not have given you the right answers you wanted but they did rule out epilepsy, every test done rules out something and brings you that much closer to a diagnosis. Praying for you and your family.
Increased water and salt intake is a common advice in these situations, my daughter was just diagnosed with hEDS
Mama B is the BEST!!! Y'all are blessed to have such supportive families. ❤
Praying for you, love your family!!! 🙏❤️
You r so kind to share all this because u r helping others who r going through medical problems, u both r an inspiration. ❤❤
Evan you’re such a wonderful husband , you have been by Carlin’s side through all her illness with such love and patience. I’m glad she had a 5 days EEG and that for now the test seems to confirm it’s not epilepsy but sadly she didn’t have an episode wich would have been very helpful to finally find the proper diagnosis .
PD:I was in the hospital for 10 months , if you are bored just for a few days imagine how that was like
I am so sorry beautiful . May Christ be with you♥
@@bezagebremedhine5102 Thank you so much !!! so sweet of you
Carlin, you are a brave brave girl. I know you have your down times but you seem to cope so well and you don’t let your health stop you enjoying your husband and babies. You are a ⭐️! 💕🇦🇺
27:02 I’ve been fainting since Jan 2022 and finally received a diagnosis or Dysautonomia. I think it would be beneficial for you to look that up and see if you have symptoms of that. I’ve had a lot of the tests you’ve had, and it took me changing cardiologists in order to finally get that diagnosis. Good luck!
Do you also have EDS?
Mold can trigger attacks
I also have this along with many other rare diseases. I was wishing today if someone had asked Carlin about this or if she is or was oddly flexible. I feel like with doctors it’s the luck of the draw if you’re going to get a good one that wants to really look into it and help you.
Praying that you guys get an answer soon. Thanks for taking us along to the hospital with ya! God bless all of ya and keep on being so sweet ❤
I’ve been following you guys since Bringing up Bates and have been keeping up with your diagnosis journey. I just went through 2 years of doctors visits trying to figure out what my episodes are. I’ve finally got a diagnosis of POTS and this could be something to ask your neurologist about!
Praying for you Carlin!! Carlin and Evan are so funny, even in a hospital. They always get me laughing
Feel better Carlin Evan is the best helping you.
😂 Evan definitely makes a hospital 🏥 stay soo much more fun than normal. Praying 🙏 for you, Carlin, for answers and healing.
Praying for you to get answers to your health problems. Love you guys ❤
I've been there, had symptoms for 7 years before finally getting diagnosed.
I was close to stopping the search for answers but found a great internist doctor who made all the difference.
You both are in my prayers! May God find the right doctor to find out what is going on and praying that the doctor’s can figure out a diagnosis!❤😊🤗
LOL!! This video had me in stitches...Evan you're such a fun guy!! Carlin, God is in complete control of your life and that's pretty encouraging in itself. Enjoy life...sending hugs!!
Thanks for the update! Continued prayers Carlin. I'm sure it's still frustrating.
Sending prayers Carlin! At least they're ruling out the big stuff! 🙏💕🙏
Loved the episode. Thanks for taking us along for it all. Continued prayers for you both.
I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. You make a great couple. You're positive attitude is heartwarming. It was nice to see your mom. I miss the family program. Continued prayers.
Love ya'll! So happy you are on the path to getting answers. Also, I love Evan's "camera incognito" moment in the beginning lol
My prayers are with you carlin❤❤❤your kids are adorable ❤
You’ve got that behind you!!
Continued prayers!❤
Praying for you Carlin! Love y’all’s videos!
I’ve lost a lot of trust in medicine over the last few years. Praying for you, Carlin. 🙏🏼😔
💯; except it has been 28 yrs for me.
Same here!
Me too
Thanks for sharing
Me too. The medical field is not what it used to be. It went downhill after 2020
But I was you and your family in his hands. We are praying for y’all. Everything’s going to be OK can’t wait to the next video. Y’all have a blessed Saturday.❤❤
I have been wondering if it’s FND as can have seizure like issues with that. It occur after a stressful event like child birth.
So glad you two are partners in everything!!
Hey Carlin! I know how frustrating it can be to not have the answers you are looking for, but the beautiful thing is after all these tests they are ruling out the big stuff, which I’m sure brings a lot of comfort! I’m sure you are already doing this, but track any changes physically, mentally, emotionally that you experience and have a journal. If it is a week before your menstrual cycle it could be due to estrogen levels in the body that affects blood pressure, and like you said could be hormonal! I pray that you all find the answers you are looking for soon, and that you continue to look to Christ as your ultimate peace and comfort❤️ God will use everything you are going through and nothing is wasted! God bless!!
I love mama Bates voice,its just such a sweet like honey mama voice I've always lived hearing her.
Your videos always bring so much joy- Evan you’re hilarious! So happy Carlin can rule out epilepsy- I know that’s a relief! Prayers for continued answers and ultimately that the Lord brings healing!
I have Epileptic seizures and none epileptic seizures…both brought on by stress ….
Prayers for you and health and happiness xx xx
Both are yes I got both
Continued hugs and prayers for Carlin!!
Hi, I love you guys. It's such a sweet family. I just watched your tests and was wondering have they checked you for heavy metal poison, i.e lead im sure I heard in one o your videos your beautiful wee boy had some lead in a test could have been from nursing it could have been picked up ages ago and your getting better don't know much about metals it's just a thought I needed to pass on stay safe xxxxxxx😅
I love you guys! both so sweet!
Carlin’s mom is such a joy ❤ and they look so much alike it’s cute
Hi Carlin, I have a condition called postural tachycardia syndrome(POTS) and orthostatic hypotension. Both these conditions cause me to faint or have pre syncope, where I do shake due to lack of oxygen to the muscles causing spasms which can look like a seizure. I was diagnosed by a cardiologist
Prayers have been with you during all this time. I know how frustrating it can be!!!
Trusting God for His answers!!!!
Praying for you, Carlin! I don’t really understand what your doctors are thinking (since it took forever for them to schedule the 5 day EEG - they just seem a little too nonchalant), but I hope you have the best team possible on your side! ❤
Um, they do have other patients that need these tests done too.
It seems most neurological type doctors stay packed.
They only right
When seizures
Are going on
I LOVE MAMA BATES!!! She just makes my heart warm❤❤❤
I was wondering if they had you do some really busy stuff. The “events” you’ve shown seem to be at family gathering or a big sale etc. (arm chair Dr here😂). Continued prayers from Texas! God’s using this in a way you may never know.❤
You look great Carlin. Glad it is not epilepsy. Enjoy those babies.Even you are the best husband Carlin a strong partner is a blessing. Take care .
