Thursday morning, January 2, 2025, 15 year old, Jax, had a seizure in the car on the way to basketball practice. Jax's mom, Lindsey, immediately called her husband Chuck, who is a firefighter and has expertise in these situations. Chuck came running to the vehicle, clearing his son from the car, and immediately performed CPR while Lindsey called 911. For Lindsey and Chuck, this experience was traumatizing to be in the process of trying to save their son's life. Jax was able to breathe on his own again and has been fighting to get back to us ever since. During those long months his older sister Addy completed her senior year with her amazing family 160 miles away.
