During the episode, Jana explained how the events transpired, stating that her and brother James were watching Josie and when she didn't respond to their questions and started convulsing that they immediately knew she was having a seizure.

"She didn't really respond," Jana told the camera during her confessional. "[She] was just kind of sitting there staring and then started jerking. [James] know immediately, OK, that's the sign of a seizure."

Jim Bob also spoke out about his daughter's situation, saying that it was definitely "life-threatening," adding, "I'm so grateful to God that Josie's okay."
