Having been thought a long battle of having multiple strokes, diagnosed with sarcoidosis, and VP shunt placement. After months of being in the hospital, Jason was able to come home and rebuild his life. In August 2024, he was diagnosed randomly with heart failure- viral myocarditis. After a series of examinations, he was told that his heart was only functioning at 20% and was rushed to a higher acuity hospital due to the severity of his condition. He has already undergone multiple surgeries and procedures including being put on ECMO which is doing the work for his heart until the direction of his recovery is known.
