I'm not sure how old your son is, but when I was pregnant with my second son,

I had really bad orthostatic hypotension and we had recently moved to a

townhouse that had this steep flight of steps. My husband at the time traveled

about 16 work days a month so we were alone quite a bit. I was terrified I'd

pass out and fall especially on those steps. My older son was 5 years old at

the

time. I taught him how to dial 9-1-1 on the phone (I'd pick up the phone,

but hold the button down so it wouldn't actually call) and we would go over

various scenarios as to " when " to dial 9-1-1 and what to say and we'd practice.

I

just made like a game of it - but never panicky-like because I didn't want to

frighten him.
