Dannie Rain...Some of you May Remember...



Two years ago when we were on our Myrtle Beach vacation two ladies came running over asking if anyone was a nurse as there was a baby drowning in one of the pools.  Lora and I ran over to the other pool where we found a blue baby girl who was starting to cough and spit up large amounts of water and was being held by a hysterical mother.  While Lora who is VP of a bank and has excellent customer service and management skills calmed everyone down around us and kept things under control,  I utilized all the CPR and nursing skills that I could until the ambulance finally arrived.  As they were walking towards the pool I looked up to see a security officer and my husband talking...Curtis, my husband, who had CPR training years previously was the one who jumped in the pool and pulled Dannie Rain from her floatie that she had turned upside down in...unbeknownst to me until then... he laid her on the cement and performed CPR on her as she was not breathing and did not have a pulse. 

We had always wondered how this precious little girl was doing as her parents were so distraught they left from their vacation early and we didn't see them again...that is until last week.  They "just happened" to be back to the same vacation spot again...the exact same week we were there and swimming at the same pool, out of five, that we chose to swim at that day!  Dannie Rain looked wonderful!!!  She is happy, very happy and very healthy!!  She did spend all of her time in the pool with her life vest on and having an excellent time!!  Isn't awesome how God sometimes answers questions that there is no way you would ever have known the answer to without his amazing intervention?

What a miracle! The right people were in the right place to save her life! Bless you! Our dear friends lost their 2 year old daughter in their backyard pool 6 years ago yesterday. I wish more people were trained in CPR. Hugs! They have two websites if you are interested...
