Thankfully, Mason is back at home and is currently 'totally fine,' his reality star mom wrote on her blog Monday, while explaining the whole terrifying experience.

“I called 911 and the fire department came immediately. They suggested that we take him to the hospital, so we did. He was in good spirits the whole time and didn’t even know anything was wrong. He even enjoyed riding in the ambulance. He’s such a good boy!! I learned such a lesson with this…to always follow my instincts and call 911. Always better safe than sorry.”
