We woke up and thought he had died. 10 minutes later everything was awesome.

We had the same thought after the first night when my daughter slept through the night. We woke up at around 6AM thinking: "She's dead... She'll be just as dead in another hour, so let's get another hour of sleep."
This is verbatim what I told my wife and mother when my son slept 3 times its normal sleep length for the first time.

It took him 3 years to have a complete night.

Now a teenager, it takes me 20 minutes to drag him out ofbhis bed at 10 in the morning.

Had that exact same experience.

I’ll never forget that morning. Waking up with the sun up and immediately thinking the worst, then exuberant joy when figuring out he was fine, just sleeping well for the first time ever.

I admit, I misinterpreted the sentence in the first read and was pretty shocked.
If you swap the conclusions of the two sentences it is pretty shocking indeed.
