While I was out of town yesterday there was a accident that involved a friend of mine.
Their little girl's school class was having a "back to school" swim party at one of the local pools...not a public pool and it does have life guards. Eight five years and 6 mothers. Of course, they weren't the only ones there and it was crowded.
I don't have all the details, but my friend had picked up another little girl as her mother was working. This little girl ended up underwater, unresponsive.
They Life Flighted her to Birmingham, but she has no brain activity so it doesn't look good. This is the couple's only child. My friend who picked her up to bring her to the party is extremely distraught.
These two families desperately need our thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Kay! I'm so sorry to hear about this little girl. "Things" happen so quickly with little ones.
I know the mother who picked the child up feels terrible. She was being a good friend and helping the girl enjoy a fun time with her schoolmates.
We will hold both families in our prayers.

I'm terribly sorry to hear this.
I read somewhere that more little kids drown than die in any other way, when not in a war zone anyway. I think people should know this stuff when taking their kids to swim.
