I ...Thank you for the courage to share your story. I almost lost both of mine in an instant last summer, when the adults that were supposed to be watching the pool were not. I pulled them both out they were pulling each other down for the third time! I had been mocked for being so careful with my kids. I lost a nephew 20 years ago and am very cautious around pools. God too, called me to the alert over my two. I was mid sentence telling my host I was uneasy not watching them my self, and turned around to find them not visible . The pool had several other kids in it, NO ONE SAW THEM STRUGGLE!!!!!!!! God Called us (you and I) to them!! HE SAW. HE SEES. May Issy continue to gain good ground I am so grateful that you paid heed to Gods calling you to her!Donettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530145585581721795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-5909218326622232422007-08-06T07:41:00.000-06:002007-08-06T07:41:00.000-06:00I have a 20 month old and cannot believe nor imagi...I have a 20 month old and cannot believe nor imagine what you went through. God had you wrapped around his arms for sure that night. We are wanting to put our pool in this fall for they are less expensive. Miller needs to take lessons first though. We had a pool at our other home and Madison who is 11 now took lessons at 2,3,and 4. When we got our pool she had become a fish. I'm so sorry for this.....I know this has made you stronger thoughJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341970243162181712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-2564649615576295182007-07-28T10:19:00.000-06:002007-07-28T10:19:00.000-06:00Your sotry touched my heart.

My kids (12 & 13 now) are not allowed in the pool without an adult. I always give a swim test to any child who comes over who wants to swim. I sometimes get strange looks from these kids but I don't care. Pool safety is not something I will ever take lightly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing your story. I wish you, your family and especially Izzy continued recovery and a joyful life.<BR/><BR/>KarenKaren & Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016422018588343930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-6058932312183865172007-05-18T09:02:00.000-06:002007-05-18T09:02:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karen & Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016422018588343930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-31653893099834763852007-05-17T07:25:00.000-06:002007-05-17T07:25:00.000-06:00Momma Roar sent me the link to this site.

I first participated in your Time Traveling Tuesday. Then I ventured further in your blog and came across Izzy's story. I brought my 11yo dd in and read the story aloud to her. My heart just cries for you, your family and Izzy. Know that we will keep you all in prayer and we stand in agreeance that the Lord will restore Izzy completely! <BR/>In Christ,<BR/>JenileighJenileighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500285462109917784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-22434380119085748562007-05-04T11:39:00.000-06:002007-05-04T11:39:00.000-06:00Hi Annie.

I went to visit your feast when your link led me to this post.<BR/><BR/>I can't help but be moved by the events that took place. I could imagine the fear of seeing your daughter in such a condition. I'm glad that your daughter survived and is on her road to recovery. God is very kind. I will pray for Izzy's full recovery.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing these eye opening information. I don't know how to swim but my husband does. I never let my son go to the pool without him just in case of an emergency. He wants to teach our 3-yr old how to swim gradually. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing and God bless.Heart of Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542152478039483575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-40044309208105795482007-05-02T15:46:00.000-06:002007-05-02T15:46:00.000-06:00Today as I sat at work like everyday I decided I w...Today as I sat at work like everyday I decided I wanted to find a good Enchilada recipe...well Annie I found your webpage and suddenly became interested in why you started this, so I began reading. Half way thru the story of Izzy I was brought to tears, this truely is one of those amazing stories that you hear about. My heart, and prayers go out to Izzy, you and your family. <BR/><BR/>My husband is a Paramedic and I can't even begin to tell you how many times he has seen this happen and every time I see him break a little more as watching a child and the parents go thru the pain, blame and everything else that goes along with such a tramatic accident. Your comment "you can never to be careful" is so true. <BR/><BR/>One of our son's had a near death accident almost 3 years ago. We were in the middle of a move and he had climed up the entertainment center and it fell over on him. He too was flown to Primary Childrens hospital where he was very touch and go. It was the most helpless feeling I have ever had in my life. Thankfuly Connor (our son) had the will to live and he faught like heck! Not to mention our faith in God and all the prayers from family, friends, loved ones and total strangers. Today he is now a healthy and happy 7 year old little boy. As he walked in this afternoon from school, I was reminded of what I almost lost and I am so grateful I did not. Therefore I too am a huge advocate of "never being to careful" as we have all seen these tramatic accidents happen either in our own families, friends, loved ones or like in this case a perfect stranger. Needless to say I am so thankful that I was searching today and came across this I know that you are truely blessed because of your faith in God and your will to keep fighting.natjwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671996094197198735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-29881050201141207022007-04-24T11:36:00.000-06:002007-04-24T11:36:00.000-06:00I wandered over here from a Works for Me Wednesday...I wandered over here from a Works for Me Wednesday post (can't remember whose, sorry :)). I am overwhelmed by your story. I have four children, two of which are 2 years old and there are many times I stay in the house while they play outside.
