| Boy starts breathing as he's prepared for funeral U.S. News Boy starts breathing as he's prepared for funeral Toddler had been pronounced dead after drowning The Associated Press Updated: 1:53 p.m. ET May 28, 2004 BOISE, Idaho - A hospital worker preparing a 22-month-old for a funeral home noticed the boy was breathing — more than an hour after he had been pronounced dead from drowning. advertisement Logan Pinto apparently wandered away from his baby sitter Thursday and fell into a canal near his home in Rexburg, about 275 miles east of Boise. He was submerged for nearly 30 minutes before police found him a half-mile downstream, said Rexburg police Capt. Randy Lewis. Though an officer gave him CPR and emergency workers did everything they could to revive him, Lewis said, the boy was pronounced dead when it appeared the effort had failed. After giving the boy’s mother and stepfather — Debra and Joe Gould — some time to say goodbye, Madison Memorial Hospital nurse Mary Zollinger began to prepare Logan’s body for the funeral home. But when she looked at the boy, she noticed his chest was slightly moving and realized that Logan was alive. The boy was flown to Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, where he was listed in critical condition Friday. Late Thursday, he was breathing on his own and his color had returned, but he was placed back on a respirator Friday, Lewis said. “I’m just amazed and overwhelmed with what took place,” Lewis said. “They aggressively worked on him for quite a bit of time, and of course it’s a bad situation when you have to let the parents know that their son has passed away.” But despair turned to joy when emergency workers learned the boy was alive. “It’s called divine intervention, I think. I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe it hardly, especially after leaving there and seeing what had transpired,” Lewis said. “I don’t know how to explain it. It’s joyous and relieving.” __________________ Circles, we going in circles dizzy is all it makes us we know every takes us we’ve been before icon: alltimepotter | |||

I guess it wasn't his time to go, and he'll do great things in the world. __________________ I know I can't expect the world to move underneath me, but for god's sake, could you try? lex/lana("I did it for you") felicity/noel("you're my first boyfriend") trey/alex(mixing business with pleasure) seth/chloe(every superhero needs a lois lane) | |||

| You have to think that if he does ever wake up he'll have severe brain damage from being deprived of oxygen for so long. It is a miracle though. __________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer. --Bruce Graham | |||

| thanks for posting that. i saw the link on msn.com and i tried to go to it but it kept on redirecting me. that's amazing. when you lose a loved one, there's always a thought that maybe they might come back, and it actually happened for one family. __________________ You're potential with no credentials. | |||

| It could have something to do with how the body of an infant or child is harder to judge in such a situation. Taking a pulse would probably be harder, there's a different way to do CPR, and I've heard stuff about how they sometimes come back from either death or a state so close to death that it's hard to tell the difference. __________________ Jai guru deva aum. | |||

| Omg that is amazing!!! Truly a blessing I'd say.... I don't think I could ever be a mortician/or something of that sort, imagine all of a sudden seeing someone breathing again!  I'd pass out right then!! I'm happy for the family  That's an incredible story.__________________ "Smooth is smooth baby" | |||

| Hopefully, someone noticed that he was breathing. He could have been buried alive... __________________ -- You can't choose what you love. It chooses you. -- | |||

| Anything could have happened if they didn't see his chest moving... Don't want to think about that... I am happy that he is doing better now, but I think this shows me that there is a God and he didn't want this boy to die on that particular day...
