It is easy to think it can't/won't happen to your family. But it happened to our family. We lived 5 minutes of terror/horror/hopelessness as he was buried alive in the sand between 3 to 5 minutes as we were trying to dig him out. But the sand would just keep on caving in. If any one reads this story and was their to help out THANKS A LOT FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART YOU HAVE RETURNED OUR NEPHEW!Somehow he is alive and no problems what so ever.<BR/>Thank You,<BR/>Ana MarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20970030.post-45862171273524935382008-01-26T13:17:00.000-05:002008-01-26T13:17:00.000-05:00I'm so glad your son is okay!

She had wandered over to some boys that were digging a huge hole in the sand so I got goosebumps when I read your story. I just put a link on my blog to your story. I think it is really important to get the word out of this danger.

I cannot imagine the horrific feeling of thinking your child has died. We've had lots of 'normal childhood mishaps' which can be scary enough, but nothing can compare to the fear you experienced. I am intrigued by your emotional pull in both directions. THank you for sharing that too.TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20970030.post-36640145159196169762007-07-27T08:08:00.000-04:002007-07-27T08:08:00.000-04:00I have tried to comment on this several times but ...I have tried to comment on this several times but just keep crying.

He is well today, but three years ago our youngest was in a near drowning accident and was gone for about 22 minutes. She is turning five on thursday and hasn't begun to walk or talk. We have faith that she will be completely healed.

I know what you are feeling, my boy stopped breathing in my arms when he was just a baby, I literally held him while he "died" fortunatly we had not yet left the hospital and a nurse was able to revive him. He too is totally ok. But it took me months to get begin getting over thet fact that for some minutes, I knew my baby was dead. Three years later I rarely think of those moments ( except when I wake him up to make sure he is breathing!) It will happen for you too, time will blur some of the fear, and life will get in the way of grief. You will be totally ok too.
