Name: Kelly Weaver |
Date of Occurrence: 2001-09-05 |
|
Cause/Defect: Prolonged QT Interval |
|
Our older daughter, Kelly, died suddenly and unexpectedly. She had been diagnosed with “suspected seizures” and treated accordingly. Labor Day weekend 2001 she experienced three seizures. Each time in the emergency room we were told we were over reacting, they just needed to find the appropriate “cocktail” of seizure meds and told to go home. Her third seizure that weekend resulted in her death three days later. A paramedic that had made two of the runs to our house that weekend called and said she didn’t act like she had experienced a seizure, that maybe it was something electrical with her heart. More |
