It was hot, and Declan had been playing in the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the breakfast was just too much for the waves and he just needed to lay down,\u201d Cassini wrote on a now viral Facebook post. As soon as they started to head back so Declan could lay down, he became \u201cdisoriented\u201d and collapsed on a sunbather.<\/p>\n<p>Although he was able to stand back up, but once again stumbled to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pregnant and frantically trying to pick him up,\u201d Cassini told Today.com. \u201cHe\u2019s going in and out of consciousness and vomiting.

Paramedics checked his vitals and worked to keep him conscious and warm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod bless all the people around us. There were so many nurses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter what felt like eternity he was up and talking. We waited for him to feel better and got him to the car,\u201d Cassini wrote.<\/p>\n<p>It was determined that Declan had hypothermia from the 52 degree ocean water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had no idea that this could happen,\u201d Cassini said. \u201cYou think about sunburns and dehydration and all the things that can happen in the water, but I never considered cold shock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now that Declan has fully recovered, Cassini wants to warn others about the odds of becoming hypothermic during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a warning to those with kids who feel no cold and love the water. Just because they can handle it doesn\u2019t mean they can handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea you could get hypothermia even on a hot summer day!
