As most of my friends know, I care very deeply about the safety and health of my closest family and friends. Today a very special person to me phoned me with horrific news. His daughter, a feisty, intelligent, beautiful two year old, was left with a babysitter who was clearly an incapable charge. The sitter was not paying attention and the toddler fell into a swimming pool, unnoticed. By the grace of God, a neighbor realized what happened, jumped in, and pulled her out of the water. She started CPR and would not give up until paramedics were on site. Upon their arrival, it was determined that the was unconscious and a Life Flight Copter was ordered. She was immediately air lifted to the closest facility. Doctors were able to revive her and get her stabilized. The fear now is that her little lungs may still collapse.
If there is something to be learned here, let it be the UTTER IMPORTANCE of pool safety and proper supervision.
So, dear friends and readers, PLEASE send a special prayer out for little Jayda. Pray for her strong recovery. And pray for the babysitter, a mere teenager, who has learned a valuable lesson, and is going insane with guilt and worry. Lastly, say a prayer for my friend. This little angel is his whole world.
