Near drowning victim
Posted: Jun 4, 2016
My granddaughter's cousin, 8 years old, on her dad's side basically drowned today. She is still alive, but we don't know what the outcome will be and what damage has been done. We don't have all of the info, but she was either not seen for 20 minutes before they found her in the water or she was in the water for 20 minutes. She is at a local teaching hospital, so if she has any chance at all of making it, she is in a good place.
She was in a natural spring, so hopefully the cold water will have done more good than harm.
Please pray that she will fully recover and have no lasting effects from this.
Thank you all so much for the prayers.;
I am praying too - anonie

Praying these doctors will know exactly what to do and that all efforts for her succeed and restore her to herself and a normal state.

We had that in our small town many, many years ago. Middle of winter, local doctor's child brought into the ER as a teenage Jane Doe DOA, the poor doctor/father on duty that night to see his own child brought in.
She went into the river, the hospital said the cold water is what saved her. I believe I remember the child came out alright eventually, the cold shut her system down into a hibernation state was the theory. This was way back in the late 70s.
Praying for your family.

I meant to respond to this when you first posted it, but just didn't get around to it...sorry.
That would have to be a hard thing for a doctor, seeing his child brought in from any kind of accident/injury. Glad her story turned out well. I had heard that people survived when submerged in cold water, but it must be really cold water that can do more good than harm. The spring water wasn't cold enough or she'd been in the water too long or something.
We still don't know all the details. I had posted that they had taken her off life support the morning I was told they were going to, but they must have changed their minds and kept hoping she'd recover because she didn't actually pass away until late on the 9th. (I just didn't want to post another change until I knew she was gone or was going to recover). The parents did donate her organs, so she will live on through them.
Just a terrible, terrible situation. Just out of school, went to the spring to have fun and ended up drowning. There were comments that she had hit her head on a rock, but we don't know for sure. I know she was at a busy local spring and just can't imagine that no one noticed her laying at the bottom of the spring or that she hadn't been seen for a certain amount of time.
Thanks for your prayers and please continue to keep the family in your prayers at least through Tuesday when they will have her funeral. I just can't imagine going through that and don't know how people who have had to get through it. Lots of faith and prayer must be the only way.

Well, things do not look good for this poor child. They had to put her in a medically induced coma as she was thrashing around. She is alive, but there is no brain activity.
A friend of mine asked me about organ donation and I asked another family member, who had been a nurse, if this option had been thought of and/or discussed. She said it had not and would talk to the father of the child about it. I'm still hoping and praying for a miracle, but if not, hopefully this may be something to help ease the family's grief.
Thank you all for your prayers. All that can save her now is a true miracle, but they do happen!!!
