His brain surgery wasn't the only medical procedure Alex endured. In 2015, Alex went to his doctor's office to get a MRI, which is a pretty routine event for him, as the scan helps monitor his body and see what he might need. Unfortunately, something went wrong while he was under sedation for the procedure and Alex stopped breathing. 

The family shared the event in one of their episodes, and Amber was visibly upset. While speaking to the camera, she described every parent's worst nightmare (via The Wrap): "His chest was just, like, pumping so hard. So that's when I got scared, because I couldn't hear him breathing. I'm just wondering if he's, like, okay and stuff. And if this is the right thing. Anesthesia is always scary when doing these types of things."

Fortunately, Alex recovered from the event with no additional complications, and everyone in his family could rest easy knowing he was okay.
