I can't say I know how it feels to lose a child, but I came close enough to feel the pain and feel for anyone who ever has to live through something like that. I have always worried with kids and swimming pools, but never realized how deadly they can be. We were at a party for my daughter's 7th birthday. I have 4 children and I had them all with me and we were at my aunts. We had swam all day, all the kids with life jackets and me right there watching them. My son which is 2 had tried all day to get the back door open and never was able to. We had a housefull. My mom and dad, my brother, my aunt and all the kids. We were leaving for the day and had went in to say our goodbyes. I had my arms loaded with stuff and had just looked at my son and he was sitting on the love seat playing. I turned and looked to the girls and was saying goodbyes and telling them to give hugs and kisses and in that short time span, I turned back to look at my son to tell him come on and he was gone. I got a sick feeling immediatly when i didn't see him and turned around and the back door he had been trying so hard to open was standing wide open. I had a sinking feeling and ran to the door and saw him. He had feel in the pool and was floating on his back. I threw everything i was holding and went in after him. When i pulled him out he was blue and purple and wasn't breathing. I screamed for my mom, because i couldn't think clearly and see was there 1 second later. She started CPR on him while i called 911 and he started breathing again but was really still. The ambulance got there quick and took him to the er and we got there at around 5:30, (i forgot to mention i was still soaked in my swinsuit sitting in the er with the air blasting away), and he was up running around 100% like normal by 8:30. They said he was very lucky and hadn't been in the water more than maybe a minute tops. I am just grateful i didn't wait another minute before i realized he was gone or it could have been a different outcome. I just recall when i first saw him in the water, i thought he was dead and my heart felt so heavy and unbearable. I don't think i could have went on if it had turned out differently.
