Jenny McCarthy's son was diagnosed with epilepsy
He was diagnosed with autism when he was two and half years, following a series of vaccinations. Sharing the details about, Jenny told PBS in 2015, "One of the first signs when I knew something was wrong was one morning he slept in late. So I opened the door and just saw Evan struggling to breathe, and pasty white, blue lips, and shaking. I picked him up and just started screaming at the top of my lungs, ran down the hallway, called 911, and it took them about 20 minutes to stop what they were calling a seizure. We went to the hospital. They blew it off as a febrile seizure — seizures that you can get if you have a fever. And considering Evan did not have a fever, I was a little concerned. Three weeks later we went down to Palm Springs to visit Grandma, and when I pulled Evan out of the car, he had this stoned look on his face. And shortly thereafter, his eyes rolled back, and I laid him down, and he was hardly taking in air, just turning blue. I called the paramedics. By the time they got there, he had gone into cardiac arrest. Halfway to the hospital, they gave me the thumbs up that they got him back. When we got to the hospital he seized again, and he seized on and off for the next seven hours. We stayed in the hospital for a few days, where they diagnosed him with epilepsy."
She added, "I remember calling my mom — it was during one of the times when Evan was watching SpongeBob — just bawling my eyes out, going: “Mom, he laughed at a joke! He gets it. He’s coming back!” And I remember thinking to myself and praying to God, saying, 'If you just continue to teach me how to heal my son, I promise I will show the world how to do it.'”
