    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.

    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!!!!!
