Eleven yr.old son just scared the heck out of me!

**hollyhill** · 04-10-2006, 06:03 PM

My son just knocked his knee so hard that he went and sat down at the table and passed out!
He then flopped backwards off the chair so that he was bent backwards in a curve and started to seizure! it last a couple of seconds until I could get to him and hold him straight....he then stopped shaking.
My 14 yr old is a first aid cadet and said he was going into shock. We layed him down on the couch with his feet raised and his color came back and he began to warm up!

Oh my I am still hyperventilating.

He never seizured before. My Dd says he must have hit that very sensitive part of his knee and that plus the weird position he fainted into might have caused the seizure because it stopped the minute we straightened him.

Whew!

Glad he is ok, God Bless him!

Oh Hollyhill, how scary!

I'm so thankful your dd had first aid and was able to help you deal with the situation.

That is so frightening! I hope he is feeling better and that his knee is better. I am saying a prayer for him.

Going to follow up with the doctor? That would have scared me to pieces.

Oh my goodness! Sorry you all had to go through that.

How scary!!!!

He's fine now.
We kept him quiet for awhile until it was clear that he was warm again. Then he was hungry LOL!

I will mention it to the doctor next time I'm there.......
His knee seems fine.

He did something like that last summer. He was mountain biking (taking jumps and silly things like that) and he fell hard on his arm. I thought it was broken....he was so dizzy and went into shock again. I took him to emergency.... it wasn't broken but had a mild sprain..... no seizure though. I think perhaps it was just because he whacked his knee SO hard in that "funny bne" place combined with fainting backwards over the chair so his spine was in a very awkward positon causing him to spasm or what ever it was. The minute I brought him level he stopped and awoke...it was over very fast. But still...all that over a whacked knee?

GOOD LORD!!! How scary for you! I'm glad he's better!

That's awful, it must have been a frightening time for you. Glad he's a lot better now!

I would definitely think a visit to the dr is in order! Especially since this isn't the first time he's had this kind of reaction. It doesn't seem normal to me, and anything where a child passes out...we go straight to the ER, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, go directly to the ER.

I hope he's feeling better. Scary stuff!!

I would take him in too. Wow that is frightening ! It does seem a little strange... I remember when I was young, I would go into shock really easy. I once twisted my ankle running around excited to go on a beach trip, I then crumbled up and passed out...He is probably fine, but I would want to make sure.
