Pray for a full recovery
Praise the Lord that he was found before drowning.
God allow your spirit to heal and bless this family !
Well done bernews. A story with a happy ending
Ditto!
Thanks for staying on top of this story.
I hope he makes a full recovery. Poor thing imagine how scared he must have been
Praying that the little boy continues to do well… what a terrifying experience. Starting to wonder just how big our Intensive Care Unit is at KEMH, as it seems every day someone else is being admitted.
Prayers for this little boy and his family !
Poor parenting. How do you let your 3 year old run around without you right by their side? I never let my kids out of my sight. I they are in the water I’m in the water within arms reach. I’m glad he’s alright though.
I was there it was extremely nerve wrecking to c a little lifeless body! Not sure where the parents were but the public wasted no time in saving this boy’s life. Although they did emerge but was so freaked that they couldn’t even assist.
My heart goes out to the parents i dont think they are aware of how dangerous bermuda waters can be. To the guy from the army the girl with the dreads, Clay and his friend kudo’s to you!!!!!
