Josh, you have been doing so well. I thought your original song was a heart-wrencher. However, I was very worried to hear, tonight, that you had had three fainting spells. Please see a doctor. It could be something serious and you are still young with a beautiful family. God Bless and take care.

I too became a little concerned about Joshua recently fainting. I had a 24 year old sister who suddenly died after a fainting spell. They concluded it as an arrhythmia. It wasn't until I had a similar episode, but fortunately I snapped out of it. Because of my sister's death, they performed MANY tests and determined that my family has a congenital heart defect called "Prolonged QT Syndrome" (or Long QT). This is potentially deadly and needs medical treatment. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/long-qt-syndrome/DS00434

If Joshua could just get a simple EKG and have the doctors look for "LONG QT", a simple medication can stop these potentially deadly (seemingly innocent) syncope episodes for Joshua.

Remember, this is congenital and his beautiful children should even be tested as well if he tests positive for the defect. All of my 3 children were tested and my daughter too was diagnosed positive...as well as my niece, the daughter of my deceased sister.

I'm with you, Joshua, please see a doctor!
