Mom issues warning 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 people to this.

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 in New Hampshire.

Cassini wasn’t worried at first. Declan had been playing in the ocean, and it was hot.

In a now-viral Facebook post, Cassini wrote, “I thought the breakfast was just too much for the waves and he just needed to lay down.” 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.

Cassini told Today.com, “I’m trying desperately to pick him up because I’m pregnant.” He is throwing up and experiencing bouts of unconsciousness. He was really pale.

When a group of women sat 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.

My Wife Left Me and Our Children After I Lost My Job – Two Years Later, I Accidentally Met Her in a Café, and She Was in Tears

My wife abandoned me and our children two years ago, at a time when things were at their worst.

When Anna stormed out of our apartment with nothing but a suitcase and the cold, “I can’t do this anymore,” I was left standing there with our four-year-old twins, Max and Lily.

We were a family for one minute, then I was alone with two kids and a mountain of expenses.

I was a software programmer at a computer business that promised great profits, but some shady things transpired, and it went bankrupt before we realized it. I went from earning a six-figure salary to receiving unemployment checks overnight.

For illustrative purposes only.

I could see the disappointment in Anna’s eyes the day I delivered her the news. She was a marketing executive and one of the most presentable women I’d ever seen. But I never imagined she would depart during difficult times.

I drove for ride-sharing businesses at night and delivered groceries during the day.

All the while, I was juggling childcare. Max and Lily were upset and kept asking about their mother.

Fortunately, my parents were close. They assisted with the twins at night and whenever I needed them, but they were unable to assist financially.

Max and Lily, however, were my lifeline. Their little arms around me at the end of a long day, their tiny voices whispering, “We love you, Daddy,” pushed me forward. I couldn’t let them down.

I’m glad the second year after Anna went was so different. I got a freelance coding project, and the customer was so impressed with my skills that he offered me full-time remote employment with his cybersecurity firm.

For illustrative purposes only.

The salary wasn’t six figures, but it was stable. We relocated to a cozier apartment, and I began to care for myself again. I went to the gym, cooked nutritious meals, and set a routine for the kids.

And then, exactly two years later, I saw Anna again.

While Max and Lily were at preschool, I was at a café near our new home catching up on work.

She sat alone at a corner table, head down, tears streaming down her cheeks.

This woman appeared worn. Her coat had faded, her hair was dull, and the heavy circles under her eyes indicated a lack of sleep.

So what happened? Why was she crying in a random trendy coffee shop? I knew I shouldn’t care. I should ignore her, finish my drink, and leave right away. But she was, after all, the mother of my kids.

For illustrative purposes only.

Her eyes met mine, and her expression changed from sh0ck to humiliation.

Leaving my cup and laptop on the table, I approach the woman who had broken our home.

“You left us. You walked out without any remorse. And now, two years later, I find you crying in a café? What’s going on?”

Her head shook again. “I can’t explain it, but leaving you was so wrong. I lost my job almost immediately after. I survived on my savings; my parents sent me some money, but they cut me off after a few months. The people I thought were my friends disappeared when I needed them most.”

“I miss you,” she croaked, sniffling. “I want to come back.”

Anna reached across the table, her hand hovering close to mine. “David, please. I know I don’t deserve it, but I’ll do anything to make it right. I’ve been living in cheap apartments, hopping from one temp job to another. I’ve had time to think. I realize now what I lost.”

I pulled my hand back. “You didn’t think about Max and Lily, did you? Not once in two years. In fact, you haven’t even mentioned them since I sat down.”

I became increasingly disgusted as I reflected on the situation.

For illustrative purposes only.

“Please, David. Just give me a chance.”

I stood, turning my back to her. “No,”

I returned to my table, snatched up my laptop, and left.
