Kendra Wilkinson's Son Hospital Visit: Former Playmate's Child Loses Consciousness

Kendra Wilkinson, a former Playboy Playmate, was forced to rush her 2-year-old son to the hospital after he reportedly passed out last week.

Kendra Wilkinson, once a favorite of Hugh Heffner and star of the E! reality series "The Girls Next Door," has taken on a much different role these days. Wilkinson left the house after becoming engaged and married to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett.

Wilkinson gave birth to the couple's first child, Hank IV, in December of 2011. Last Wednesday, the 2-year-old "mysteriously passed out" according to TMZ. Emergency services were called, although the boy gained consciousness once again by the time the paramedics had arrived. The call occurred around 5 p.m.

The young Hank was then taken to a nearby hospital, but released shortly thereafter.

"According to sources, the doctor told Kendra her son had suffered loss of consciousness due to overheating ... from running around the house ... and it's pretty common in children, especially in hot weather," TMZ reported.

Wilkinson was not available for a statement, but her son is now allegedly doing fine, according to the report.

Wilkinson's situation is an improvement, following her admission of postpartum depression following Hank's birth.

"After giving birth, I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower," she said in 2010 interview with the NY Daily News. "I looked in the mirror one day and was really depressed."

Wilkinson admitted that her depression was due in part her husband being transferred to Indiana; he was forced to leave her home alone for much of the time.

"I love running and hiking. I had a hard time being trapped inside," she said. I'd look outside and think how much I wished I could go to the beach again."
