cereality May 11, 2022 Share May 11, 2022 Can't separate a fool from her fundie wedding. Evan looked like a grinning idiot at the airport at 4 am and on the plane - as if his wife hadn't just been in the ER 4 hours prior. Sorry to say it but in that sleeping on the plane pic, Carlin was OUT as if she's exhausted - which her body is. They landed in LA around 1030 CA time and are likely arriving in SD by 130ish. Tiff said earlier the rehearsal starts at 230ish. No way they are not going to attend. What are they going to do sit in their hotel until tomorrow and actually have Carlin rest - LOL no. Cue Carlin rushing around to straighten her hair, do some makeup product placements, putting Layla in whatever monstrosity she has chosen, taking pics at the rehearsal event with HER man, and yes telling her story over and over of whatever she's endured since Saturday to get here. Don't have the patience to watch any of the wedding videos but is it accurate that the wedding [or maybe the reception?] is on a boat?? Please tell me you can rent out some Navy ship as an event space and hold your event there while it's anchored? Because if this means that the wedding/party is on an actual yacht type boat, do Carlin and Evan realize that once the boat takes off they are stuck for hours? Whether she feels well or not, there's no saying hi to the couple/taking a few pics/getting the kids some cake and heading back to the hotel early. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7448583

They must be in the middle of whatever is going on. Kudos to Evan for having his brand new camera, (for the vlog) with mike on him the entire time.

Have they never flown on an airplane or stayed in a building with air conditioning? I'll bet even people who live in San Diego put sweaters on their kids fairly often. Also, have they never been on a boat on the water? I live near one of the Great Lakes and I can attest that it is quite breezy and a lot cooler on the deck of a boat than on land. These two are fools. How do you travel with a newborn and NOT have layers to keep him warm? Did she not bring a swaddle or blanket for him? Couldn't he be wrapped in that if it's cool? Doesn't one of her umpteen sisters with umpteen kids have a sweater she could borrow for Layla just in case? Running out and buying new stuff because you were too dumb to pack properly is a waste of money. As far as her anemia, has she said what has caused it? If it is from the birth, that was 6 weeks ago. If her hemoglobin is only 9 due to blood loss/iron deficiency 6 weeks later, then 1. dumba** didn't take her iron pills as prescribed and/ or 2. Her diet is really terrible and she doesn't eat enough nutritious foods containing iron. In general, if someone is anemic but no longer actively bleeding, they should be able to make a gram of hemoglobin a week on iron replacement. If Carlin's hemoglobin is 9 now, it would have had to have been 3 when she delivered. That is transfusion territory (around 6 in an otherwise healthy new mom is ok). So, she either has some other issue causing her to be anemic or she isn't following instructions.

BitterApple May 13, 2022 Share May 13, 2022 IIRC, Carlin said her level was at a 12 and then dropped to 8 and went up to 9 by the time she tested in Nashville. I'm not a doctor so I have no idea what this means, but I think it was the steep drop that had everyone so concerned. She mentioned people who were at the boutique sale DM'ing her to see if she was okay, so I think she either fainted during the cash-and-carry or was about to, and they had to call the ambulance. As far as Carlin's diet, all that woman eats is junk and fast food. Twice daily Sonic runs, Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. She certainly isn't winning points in the healthy living department. I imagine she would be extremely frustrating to have as a patient. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7452116

Bleeding is not the only side effect. Blood thinners do not cause anemia as a side effect. Really, they don't. I'm a board certified OB/GYN with 40 years' experience in prescribing them. Some, like heparin, can cause low platelet counts, AKA thrombocytopenia, but that is not anemia. I expect her hemoglobin was 12 before delivery which is a respectable, non-anemic level, for a pregnant woman. She was using blood thinners for almost 9 months at that point and hadn't become anemic; so clearly her anemia wasn't due to that. Her hemoglobin probably dropped to 8 after delivery due to the blood loss from giving birth. That big a drop indicates she probably lost more than average from the birth, but was not dangerously low. Iron supplements would've been prescribed for a month or so postpartum. A woman who had experienced a drop like that would potentially have some fatigue, dizziness on standing quickly, etc, at least initially, but the health human body adapts to anemia, and, presuming she was taking the prescribed iron, she should've been virtually asymptomatic in 2 weeks tops. The fact that her hemoglobin was still low at 9 6 weeks after giving birth indicates that she has an inadequate iron intake, both medication and dietary. However, the whole 'episode' where she got the vapors and fainted and needed an ambulance would be not likely to occur at that blood level (or at 8 gms) and indicates what we already know; Carlin is a drama queen extraordinaire who craves attention and sympathy and it is most likely she was suffering from acute attention-deficiency and not anemia when she had her 'episode'. She's been moderately anemic for a couple of months now, she would've adapted to it weeks ago and, except perhaps for some shortness of breath with moderate exertion and perhaps being more tired at the end of the day; she wouldn't have had the symptoms she claims just from anemia 6 weeks after giving birth.

This is insane. 2 to There is no way her hemoglobin dropped from 12 to 9.5 overnight without evidence of significant hemorrhage. Most likely, the EMT's started an IV and pumped her full of fluids and someone at the hospital mistakenly drew blood from the vein where the IV was placed and it was diluted by the fluid. Or the whole thing is BS. Could be either one. In order for the hemoglobin to drop by 1 gram, about one unit of blood would need to be lost. There are roughly 500 cc in a unit of blood; so, Carlin lost the equivalent of almost a 2 liter bottle of blood overnight and no one noticed? The hospital didn't insist on admitting her and looking for hidden bleeding from her GI tract? No, just no. The medical pros realized that the second value was inaccurate probably because it was drawn from the IV and sent her home. As for twitching and shaking, that happens a lot when people faint. Carlin could've hyperventilated and caused herself to become lightheaded and fall to the floor where she would shake for a while. Even anxiety can cause what is known as a vasovagal reaction which is probably what happened here. There is no way her hemoglobin dropped that much over just a day without evidence of very significant bleeding. I really doubt it is neurological, I think that it is much more likely due to anxiety and emotions with a heaping helping of not enough sleep and a crummy diet.

People who have vasovagal reactions will shake/twitch, their eyes can roll back, they can groan or mutter incoherently. It would like like a seizure to the average passerby. If she had a real neurologically based seizure, she would probably have peed her pants and she would've been in a post-ictal state for half an hour or more afterwards.

I presume that Carlin's 'episode' during birth was witnessed by medical professionals. If there was any concern that she had a seizure; a CT scan, EEG and spinal tap would've been done immediately. She would've also had an EKG and maybe a cardiac echo and Holter monitor if there were concerns about her heart. The fact that she went home in the usual amount of time after the birth indicates to me that it wasn't a seizure at all.

I think Evan was saying that the guy in the store who helped was an emt ( don't quote me) and he said that it wasn't a seizure because Carlin wasn't unconscious. Which is a fallacy. Seizures symptoms vary and can include a sudden change in awareness or full loss of consciousness, unusual sensations or thoughts, involuntary twitching or stiffness in the body or severe stiffening and limb shaking with loss of consciousness (a convulsion.) I've had one seizure in my life where I've lost consciousness. 5 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7454164

Most EMT's have witnessed seizures of all kinds, and, if he said that it wasn't a seizure, there could well have been other reasons besides Carlin's level of consciousness that lead him to that conclusion. Since Carlin was supposedly lying on the floor shaking for at least half an hour, one would expect that this would've been a pretty significant neurologic event; hence, my statement that it would be unusual if she didn't urinate and wasn't post-ictal afterwards. Most seizures last seconds at most, very few last 30 minutes.

Maybe he's including that postictal phase as part of the episode.

emmawoodhouse May 14, 2022 Share May 14, 2022 It was unclear from the video how long the EMT stayed with Carlin. Shouldn't he have recommended an ambulance sooner if she continued to exhibit symptoms? Why did they wait so long? 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7454214
3 is enough May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 Honestly I have no words. But it would definitely call off the business trip if I were her. They were lucky that nothing happened in CA, but that doesn’t mean she won’t have another episode. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7454280
So unbelievable May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 Will her stupid ass take it seriously when she passes out with no one around and drops her newborn? 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7454580
GeeGolly May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 I don't know if this has been addressed, but did Carlin use the ER for basically an office visit to get her levels checked prior to flying? I agree with you all Carlin's issues are likely a combo of poor self-care, drama and clicks. But even if Carlin was ill she has such FOMO she would have gone anyways. There is one pic of Lawson and Tiff - everyone in the background is looking at them, but Carlin - off to the side and about three rows back is staring right at the camera. IMO, Carlin is the female version of Lawson. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7454651
cereality May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 (edited) And back in the ER last night - having passed out 3 times yesterday?! Evan now says he doesn’t trust her to be alone w Zade or drive - so he’s thinking of leaving her in Nash with his family bc he has to return to work. This is how bad it was but they felt fine going to Cali and pretty much pulling an all nighter on the first day bc they left the ER at midnight, airport at 4 am, 5 hr flight, 2-3 hr drive from LA, and then straight to the rehearsal dinner and staying up until midnight (3 am EST) catching up w people?!? And then got back to Nash and went to some nephews baseball game + threw a graduation party for Evan?? Whatever is going on she needs to sit on the couch w the baby and do nothing else. I’m guessing she’ll get a chance to do that in Nash once Evan is gone and his siblings are all at work bc there won’t be constant activity with her MIL/FIL.

ozziemom May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 (edited) Carlin was back at the ER in Nashville yesterday, apparently she passed out 3 times. Sounds like they ran a bunch more tests but still no idea why this keeps happening.

3 is enough May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 (edited) So per her stories Carlin ended up back in the ER. Looks like they are FINALLY taking this seriously. She had a full blood work up, EKG, CT scan, MRI, all of which came back normal. They sent her home with a heart monitor which she has to wear for the next 24 hours. It appears she may stay with her in-laws while Evan goes back to work. Evan has said he doesn’t want her driving or left alone with the kids. The business trip has been cancelled. I guess between the week off when Zade was born and the time off for the wedding Evan doesn’t have much time off left. ETA: Looks like we all posted at the same time. When I started typing there were no new posts.

SMama May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 Carlin scored another visit to the ER. They are still in Nashville and she canceled the work trip. Evan needs to return to work tomorrow and doesn’t want her driving or taking care of the kids on her own. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7455023
emmawoodhouse May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 So her hemoglobin is back up and the brain MRI looked normal. If I read her little blurbs right, they did send her home on a heart monitor. In conclusion, they don't know what is causing the fainting, but she fainted 3 times yesterday! That's insane. I hope she just stays in Nashville or goes home with Addee or another sister in attendance while Evan is at work. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7455073
65mickey May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 Very scary. They both look exhausted. I hope they get to the bottom of this. It reminds me of when Alyssa was having arrhythmia and passing out. She stayed with the Websters while John was at work because she could ot drive or be left alone with the children. And I know what's wrong with Carlin may be different just saying that it sounds familiar. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101943-carlin-and-evan-but-mostly-carlin/page/17/#findComment-7455078
