Praying for the baby and family
Prayers for all..
Glad the baby survived and feel horrible for their family. I have to assume they were visiting? Or is it not code to have child safety gates around a pool?
He made it? But how is his neurological status? Prayrs to the child & family!!
My heart ache for this family! Every year I read about more and more children and pool accidents. PLEASE! PLEASE, put a child gate around your pool and then add 2 more layers of protection! You can find them on Craig’s list, letgo and more.
