An eight-year-old boy had a stroke at school just before his mum picked him up at home time. It was thought Kaiden Turner had initially fallen and hurt his leg and teachers were unable to make sense of what he was saying and it became apparent he wasn't feeling well at all.
His mum, Yvonne Williams, was picking up his younger sister at Deighton Primary School in Tredegar on Friday afternoon and rushed to her son's side after a teacher told her Kaiden was hurt. She said: "A teacher came for me to inform me Kaiden had had a fall and had hurt his leg. He said they weren’t getting much sense out of him and could I try and speak to him. Nothing could have prepared me for the scene. Minutes later when we walked around to him he was being violently sick and then he fell unconscious."
It was out of character for Kaiden who is normally "a very tough little boy who never cries when he falls over" and is always one for getting up and laughing it off. Tests later showed Kaiden had actually collapsed.
