WACO, Texas (KWTX) Charles Davis is overjoyed to have his son back to full health, after what he calls a terrifying experience that took place last month.

"The phone call that I got led me to believe that my son was okay but he wasn't," says Charles Davis who's son, also named Charles, passed out while in class at Parkdale Elementary school.

Davis says that he arrived at the school and found his son in a wheelchair with his head down.

The school nurse telling him, "We checked his (Charles) vital signs and they were all good and everything was fine with him."

However Davis was unconvinced, "He was not speaking, he was not physically talking, walking or nothing," he said.

Concerned for the well-being of his son, Davis drove him to Providence Health Center in Waco.

Just four hours later, the family says he was transported by ambulance to Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin.

After spending four days in the hospital he was released, but the family says that doctors are still unsure as to what caused the 2nd grader to pass out, only suggesting it might have been a seizure.

Waco ISD spokesperson Josh Wucher gave a statement regarding the incident, "Under Student Health Services guidelines, an ambulance is called for specific medical emergencies including seizures, anaphylactic shock and unresponsiveness which includes no reaction to both verbal and physical cues. In reviewing this incident, our Health Services Coordinator has studied the situation closely and concluded that the care provided was appropriate."

According to medical records that were given to us by the family, Davis' student health log says that he did respond to physical "stimulus" including "squinting eyes when the nurse checked his pupils."

The district says that was a factor in the school not calling an ambulance, because the child physically responded.

However, the family feels that more should have been done.

"I want the next child that goes through what my child went through to be safe," says Davis.
