29-year-old Jen Bobier suffers from a rare condition that can trigger fast chaotic heart rhythms.
"I was a ticking time bomb, so really an arrhythmia could've hit at any point. And if there wasn't anyone around to resuscitate me, I would've just died."
She's not the only one in her family suffering with the disorder. Her brother Chris and her mother Barb all have long QT Syndrome, which can cause rapid heart beats, fainting and deadly cardiac arrest.
The condition is genetic...the Bobiers found out they all had it after the youngest sibling, 20-year-old Bradley, died suddenly in his sleep.
"That is the worst day of my life. At the end of the day he gave his life so that my brother and I and mom can live."
In May, Jen received a new kind of defibrillator.
"Think of it as your own personal ambulance."
Unlike most models, which attach to the heart, this less invasive device is placed just under the skin.
"The device would charge and shock the patient and put them back into normal rhythm."
Chris received his defibrillator next...."Bouncing back and continuing on with life, as opposed to me burying another child."
And Barb just received hers this month.
