After going up to her son, he started to get sick violently and fell unconscious.
He was rushed to Noah's Ark hospital in Cardiff via air ambulance, where diagnostics discovered an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
Kaiden suffered a massive brain bleed as a result of a burst blood vessel.
The young Welsh boy, who has eight siblings was sedated and has since been brought to a hospital in Bristol, where he will undergo surgery.
Yvonne expressed to Wales Online that a stroke is "very rare in children".
Medical professionals will look at his blood vessels to determine their future action.
Kaiden has a blood clot deep in his brain that needs to be dealt with to prevent any further bleeds, Yvonne informed.
She added: "I’m feeling very up and down, devastated and heartbroken like my whole world has been turned upside down."
Kaiden's father, Huw Turner, said the support the couple have received has been amazing.
Yvonne said: "To know so many people are thinking of him and praying for him is overwhelming and because of their kind generosity we are able to spend every minute with our beautiful boy."
A GoFundMe has been started for Kaiden and his family to enable his parents to stay at his bedside.
The family stated that funds raised are "to keep Kaiden's parents and youngest sister fed and comfortable and stable with essentials only".
Kaiden has begun to lift his leg and arm, an update shared on the page informed.
Yvonne is "dreading" the operation on Wednesday and was looking forward to focussing on her "little soldier's" return to health in the aftermath.
