Off The Record
Mom Issues Grave Warning To All Parents After 10-Year-Old Son Collapses After Playing In The Ocean
A day at the beach is the best way to escape the oppressively high heat, but despite the fact that it might offer some respite, one mother from Massachusetts discovered that the shoreline also has a special set of risks.
She now wants to alert everyone about it…
Despite the fact that the incident occurred over a week ago, Heather Cassini reported that she is still “shaking.“
Declan, Cassini’s 10-year-old son, suddenly reported he didn’t feel well on July 4 as the 40-year-old mother and her were in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
Cassini wasn’t worried at first. Declan had been playing in the ocean, and it was hot.
“I thought the breakfast was just too much for the waves and he just needed to lay down,” Cassini wrote on a now viral Facebook post. Declan became “disoriented” and fell into a sunbather as soon as they started to head back so he could lay down.
He managed to get back up on his feet, but he fell to the ground once more.
I’m pregnant and frantically trying to pick him up,” Cassini told Today.com. “He’s going in and out of consciousness and vomiting. And he was so pale.”
When a group of women sitting close noticed the disturbance, they moved quickly to intervene. While monitoring his vitals, paramedics attempted to keep him warm and alert.
“May God bless everyone in our vicinity.” She remarked, “There were so many nurses.“
“He was up and talking after what seemed like a lifetime.” Cassini writes, “We got him to the car and waited for him to feel better.“
Declan was found to have hypothermia due to the 52 degree ocean temperature.
Cassini remarked, “I had no idea that this could happen.” “I never thought about cold shock; you think about sunburns and dehydration and all the things that can happen in the water.“
Declan’s miraculous recovery has led Cassini to want to alert others to the risk of hypothermia in the summer.
“Just a heads up to parents who have children who adore the water and don’t feel chilly. It doesn’t necessarily follow that they can handle it just because they can.“
It never occurred to me that hypothermia could occur on a sweltering summer day! Not just for those who are parents, but for everyone, this is such a vital message.
