Miracle: Drowned 2-year-old Brought Back to LIfe

‘Miracle’: Strangers bring drowned girl back to life.

Witness says, ‘I saw it within a foot of me, that child was dead’

Florida mother experienced what she is calling a miracle when her young daughter was presumed drowned in a pool, and three strangers brought the girl back to life.

Meagan Durocher, who will turn 2 later this month, fell into a pool at Bristol Pines in Naples, Fla., Saturday evening while attending a party for her uncle, Naples Police Officer Steve Walden.

The girl was underwater for more than a minute, according to one witness. Kathlene Durocher, Meagan’s mother thanked Naples Police Officer Benjamin Vasquez, one of the people who immediately came to the child’s aid, but has been unable to identify the other two helpers.

“They were complete strangers to me,” Durocher said yesterday in an interview with the Naples Daily News. “I don’t know who it was. I want to meet them because they saved the life of my beautiful, almost 2-year-old baby.”

Kathlene’s sister pulled Meagan out of the pool and brought her to a table. Party-goers began performing CPR on the child, but she did not respond.

“I saw it within a foot of me, that child was dead,” Walden said. “The child was purple (with) swelled eyes and swelled black lips.”

According to Vasquez, who was off-duty at the time, Meagan wasn’t breathing and didn’t have a pulse, but he proceeded to perform CPR, even though he never had on a child before.

“She was purple as a grape,” he said. “It was amazing.”

Vasquez performed chest compressions but was unable to move in close enough to breathe for the child. He yelled for help, and a man and women that people are calling angels came to the rescue. The man breathed for Meagan while the woman took her pulse for about three minutes until the girl began breathing on her own and spitting up water.

“I was hysterical, and someone came up to me and said ‘Look at her, she’s up,’” Durocher said.

Now most people, even at SAB, will ridicule this story and insist there are natural explanations. Many liberals would want to sue the man and woman involved in the rescue for practicing medicine without a license; but a dear atheist friend of mine, a doctor, some years ago saw a young girl hit by a car, after a quick examination he was ready to declare her dead at the scene, all the clinical signs indicated death. For some reason he did not understand at the time, this atheist said aloud, “Lord if you exist bring this child back to life.” The next second and the girl took a deep breath and was not only alive, she was discharged to home that night. So, my point is, I believe in miracles and whether these people were angels in disguise or just normal people that mysteriously appeared and disappeared, only staying around long enouigh to assist in the rescue, this seems like another geniune miracle.
