| Quote: | FULLERTON, Calif. - A toddler who was revived nearly two hours after she was believed to have drowned and 40 minutes after doctors had declared her dead was responding to touch and sound Saturday, hospital officials said.
Twenty-month-old Mackayala Jespersen was in critical condition but responsive a day after she was found in her family's swimming pool, said Children's Hospital of Orange County spokeswoman Denise Almazan.
The little girl's family thanked the public for their "prayers and support," Almazan said.
Mackayala's mother found her floating face down in the backyard pool Friday morning, police Sgt. Sean Fares said. Police and paramedics tried to revive her and rushed her to Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, where doctors pronounced her dead.
Forty minutes later, police Detective Mike Kendrick was conducting a routine investigation into the death when he noticed Mackayala's chest was moving. He summoned doctors, who were able to revive her.
"It was a very emotional moment for everyone," said Fullerton Police spokesman Sgt. Ron Gillett. "We thought she didn't make it and then she did. It was the lowest of the lows and the highest of the highs."
Mackayala was later transferred to Children's Hospital. Anaheim Memorial Medical Center spokeswoman Gina Esparza declined to comment Saturday.
Mark Langdorf, chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, said it is not uncommon for toddlers to survive drownings after showing little or no signs of life, especially if the water is cold.
What was unusual in Mackayala's case, he said, was the time involved.
"If you had said she came back to life after 10 minutes I would be surprised, but 40 minutes is just exceptional," he said. |
I saw the headline on Yahoo this morning, went and found it now. That is amazing.

Yes - its a mircle.
Some kids can survive up to 3 hours underwater at a young age. The older you get, the less change of survival.

I can believe that story completely.
Something similar happened here in Illinois a few years ago... I think it was in New Boston, Illinois.
A little girl drowned in the pool. She was pulled out. And while one of her relatives were trying to revive her, someone else was calling for paramedics. I don't remember the amount of time that passed. But, it too, was quite awhile.
When the paramedics finally arrived, they revived her. The 6yr old girl said to her mother, that she spoke to her grandpa and she even said his name.
Now, her mother never, ever talked to her daughter about her grandfather (who had died before the girl was ever born), but yet, the girl knew his name.
The little girl said that Grandpa So and So ( I don't remember his name ), said that it wasn't time for her to die, so she had to go back.
That story was in the local paper, probably about 15 - 20 yrs ago, in which I had read it from there.
