TV show The Doctors

Two years ago I wrote a little about my grandson, at 16 years, had heart failure, of some sort. They are still not sure what actually happened. It began to "misfire" and stop. They were in La Joya California at a hotel. Quick action on the part of another client and two of the hotel employees, manager and owner, who did CPR until paramedics arrived about 15 minutes later, was enough to help save him. When they applied shock treatment his heart began to beat again. Because he had died for a few minutes he has some damage, physically mostly. He was in a coma several days, they implanted a defibrillator. After 3 months he was able to come home. He still struggles physically, but has had an incredible attitude about it.

Someone for the show The Doctors researching found Alex's story and contacted my daughter to ask more questions and invited them to interview. They also had a Neurologist in LA examine him before which highlighted some physical issues that was now causing him pain, fatigue and problems. So that was really good, as he can now work on that. We found out recently that they are going to air the show December 17th. I thought it may interest some, if you have access to watch at show, CBS, The Doctors. I believe on the west coast, California it shows around 2/2:30. Each segment isn't really long, about 15 minutes, but is interesting. I think they are focusing more on knowing and learning CPR and being willing to help in an emergency. Alex would have died, completely, if they hadn't done that. Something had gotten through with their diligence, enough so that when the paramedics applied shock, it began to beat again.

Alex is doing much better. He had been Reg Aux for several years and began Reg pioneering in September. He was also made a Ministerial Servant in September. Of course none of that is highlighted on The Doctors show.

I haven't seen it yet. One sister here teased that they held it off for their feel good Christmas Special...yikes! I wouldn't doubt it, it took a while for it to air.

Thanks for the heads up Cindy! Soo glad that Alex has been doinng well and was just made a MS! I'm sure he has an appreciation for life that very few his age have - good to see him put the time he "got back" to good use!

Cindy I watched it .....,,great story and handsome young man ! You could tell the Dr. Were impressed I'm sure his determination to work hard and overcome his obstacles has been a source of encouragement to many.

I noticed right away the specialist had solutions in the form of medications......I am curious if he applied the advise or carried on in what he has already been doing? I have MS ......I also go to a neurologist who wants me on various drugs. I have opted not to because I'm doing just fine without.

You must be a very proud gramma thanks for letting us know it was going to be on.

Love,

Sis Wendy

I posted this on YouTube as Robinson Family the Doctors.

They told our daughter they would like to do a follow up after he has done the training sessions. They want to bring for a visit the man who heard Alex say he was passing out, quickly jumped up and got him out of the pool and began CPR until the other guy/ supervisor of the hotel took over. They let him in the CCU to see Alex before he flew home, but Alex was in a comma still. Alex has never seen him. That would be very emotional if they do that.

The neurologist gave him 3 prescriptions. I felt skeptical. I am skeptical of all DRs/meds anyway. Bad experiences. But, it wasn't my call. I am just grandma. But my thought was his symptoms aren't disease symptoms, they are damage symptoms. He died, and was without oxygen for quite some time. To treat them as disease symptoms seemed a bit...

The strength training makes sense to me. Two of the prescriptions they read about and opted out. One he tried for a month. They were hoping it would calm the muscle spasms and help him get some sleep better. But after a month there wasn't any change in his symptoms but some added problems from the meds. He backed off and now is off. He starts the personal training in January. I think that is the key.

It was a nice segment. How is he enjoying the guitar? Do you know what medicines they prescribed for him?
