When Nolan was a baby, we almost lost him to drowning in a baby pool. He and Aidan were in and out of the baby pool with Marc and I sitting nearby. Both boys disappeared, we figured they were just around the corner of the house, however Aidan returned, Nolan didn’t. We ran around looking for him; Marc going in one direction, me in the other. As we searched for him in the yard, Aidan yelled that he had found him. We came running to see Nolan submerged under a foot and a half of water. No splashing. The water was low enough that he could stand up, but the wide eyed look of terror told me everything I needed to know. Panic had set in. Aidan saved Nolan that day. Had we all continued to look for Nolan in our sizable yard, it would have been too late. So I share this with you with hopes that a child is saved. Drowning is silent! We are so blessed.
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.
