I had no idea what LONG QT Syndrome was until May 2003. I was 3 years too late to save my son and 10 Months to late save my daughter! My Mom was taken to the hospital for what we thought was an anxiety attack; she was having rapid heart rhythm and fainting spells. She was diagnosed with Long QT, a rare and hereditary heart disorder that can only be found when you are alive. This doesn't show up in autopsies. It is commonly misdiagnosed as epilepsy.

My son, Jimmy, died in his sleep April 15,2000 leaving behind
a wife and a baby, Alexis, who will never know her Daddy. My
daughter, Chrissy, died on July 25, 2002 in her sleep also suffering
from a seizure and left behind a eight month old baby, Jessica,
who will never know her Mommy. Now that we are aware of Long
QT, my grandchildren can be treated for it as well as other
family members and myself. A simple EKG could help save someone's
life. For more information on Long QT Syndrome, click on to

others.
