 Do you guys understand we're doing some filming for training purposes? Yes, I explained to Jack that just to be normal and you know it helps other nurses, yeah. My father had epilepsy, but my family and I as a child had febriles whenever we had fevers we might have to have a grand mal. His first seizure, mommy was what, you were at a softball game, you had a fever, we got him to the hospital and they just attributed it to the fever and sent us home, hope it won't happen again, and then he had another one, right? Yeah, that one was in the bathtub, that was, but that was also again with a fever and then we had the other one when he didn't have a fever, that's kind of when he ended up getting admitted and a scary one was when he had one, that same day he had a second one in the emergency room, in the emergency room, so that was pretty scary. Even the people in the ER when they came in and it was like Jack had another one of these and they were in May, June and this was August and they were like, he has another fever and he said no and they were like, okay, this is different. The next morning they came in really early, she walked in and was like, okay, Jack has epilepsy. He said, you know, did you notice all the seizures last night? And I'm like, no. They said he was having one admitted that first night. In the video you were sitting next to him in the bed and he was having him right next to you and you had no idea. I'm like, I have no idea. So in the beginning it was definitely, you know, eyes on him every second of the day, the poor kid. Leaving the hospital was like, I didn't want to go home because I was like how, I don't even know he's having them right next to me, but by the time I left and he was on medication for like three days, we were in the hospital for a long time. They were back like a month later and he was having one an hour. So they were like, it's a lot less than one an hour, still 24 day, like that's not good. We had a little heat stroke. What were we doing about it again? He just kept saying his head hurt, his head hurt. So we got in the car to come home and he starts screaming really, that his head was hurting so bad. He was actually asking to go to the doctor. He was like, well, it really hurts, mom. And I'm like, and I'm driving. What was your head hurting you? Can you tell? Uh, like right over there. Right over there? Like right over there? Right over there? Just on the side? Or all over? Or what? Like all over. Like all over? Yeah. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? You know that dude? Yeah. Who is that? Robus. His name. Wow. What's up? You must be Jack. What are you doing here? I'm Louise. Wow. It's nice to meet you. Hi, Louise. How are you doing? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well. Tell me, we were watching the game the other day. What did we think of that player that went into your goal? What was the name of the shirt off? Oh, we don't like him. We don't like him. Yeah. I mean, I don't like him because he scored two goals. Oh my gosh. But then when he came in the goal and tried to take the ball away, Jack and I were like, that guy is fresh. He whipped the shirt off. Why did he take his shirt off? You know my wife always wonders that? Like why? Why did they take the shirts off? I've never celebrated a goal. Since I'm a goalie. He goes, it's not even a championship game. Yeah. But it was a big game. It was a big game because there's some bad blood between us and we've actually only lost to them once in our history. Okay. Unfortunately, it was at the worst time because it was in the playoffs. Right. I was at one of the games. Yeah, which game were you at? It was two years ago when you played Atlanta. And you won. We won. Two-zero? Two-one. Two-one. He has like a ridiculous amazing stats in his brain. That's great, man. So where do you play at? Where's the Aviator Soccer Club? It's in Hasbro Heights. In Hasbro Heights? So it's really close here. Yeah. Okay. So were you totally surprised that I was coming to visit you today? You had no idea that I was going to stop by and say what's up? I had no idea. Okay. I actually have more surprises for you then. Okay. Because what's going to happen is, and I think your mom is aware of it and your doctor is definitely aware of it, is we're going to have an experience. And throughout all of this, I'm going to get to learn about you and your hopes and your dreams. Throughout that, you're going to come with me into training. Would you like that? And so then you're going to train and you're going to see what it's like as we get ready for a game and then we're going to take you to a game. Okay. Wow. Good. That's awesome. Is that exciting? Mm-hmm. Good. If you're excited, I'm excited. So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? I have the youngest of four other siblings. What's it like being the baby of the family? It's better because I get to do less stuff. Oh, nice. That's right. They do all the chores, right? Okay. Honestly, he's a good chore guy. He's smart. He's smart. Thank you. That's amazing. You're welcome. So you're diagnosed with epilepsy, right? Now, how do you feel that each and every day? Is that something that comes and goes? Is there a certain parts of your day that you have to be cautious about because of it? Well, Jack got diagnosed when he was like three and a half. He had a few seizures. He doesn't even remember. Eyes rolling back, convulsing, holding his breath. So he was experiencing that as a three-year-old? Yes. As a three-year-old. I mean, how scary was that for you? Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Maybe we've been playing on the Red Bulls. That's a good question. So this is my eighth season. Every single season, were you the goalie? They only let me play goalie. Every once in a while, I had to play on the field and they just rolled their eyes at me. Now, that's how soccer started for me. When I was 11 years old, a friend of mine was trying out for a soccer team. I was like a travel soccer team. And I didn't really have much of a soccer background up until then. And after the first day of tryouts, they let me know that I was just a terrible soccer player and that I didn't need to come back anymore. But what ended up transpiring is a couple weeks later, their goalkeeper got hurt. Or he just, I think he was indecisive if he just wanted to play goalie and they said, well, if you're willing to come and learn how to be a goalie and be only goalie, you can be on the team. And then I just, I fell in love with all of it. I fell in love with the position. I fell in love with just playing the game. And I developed some really close friendships with some guys that we were obsessed. And here we have Jack. He's a nine-year-old boy. He's an active nine-year-old boy. How is epilepsy going to affect his daily activities? Is it going to prevent him from doing anything? Or can he just sort of go on and be a nine-year-old boy? So our goal is to make sure that they could go on and just be normal kids and play sports and be advocates for themselves. Swimming can be of an issue because obviously if they have uncontrolled seizures or random seizures, swimming, you know, we try to limit swimming or make sure somebody is in the water with them at all times. And the adolescents will even tell them, you know, when they use the bathroom or go take a shower, not to lock the bathroom door, as they like to do when they're older. And so, you know, that way, God forbid, something happens in that situation. And obviously, like climbing or, you know, if we know that they're going on the jungle gym, they should have somebody just right near there, not just sitting on the bench. Well, Jack, sounds like you're a brave kid. He is. Yeah. He is. I'm glad that I got to know a little bit more about you. And I'm glad that you're surprised. When you come to training, you're going to be able to take some shots on me. Do you think you're going to score? Come on, you've got to be confident. You've got to say, yes, I'm going to score. I'm going to score every single time. All right? Well, that's cool. Are you looking forward to it? That's awesome. Use that ball. Practice a little bit. And when we figure out which day you're going to come, you get to put your skills on display. There you go. Well, it was really nice to meet you. And I look forward to the next time we see each other. Okay? Very cool, man. It's changed our life from literally sitting here at night going, what are we going to do? We can't stop him from coughing.
