Not again!

It broke my heart to wake up to the news that yesterday yet another child, a 3 yr old nearly drowned, here in Tucson. Instead of being safer, it has started sooner this year. I don't know what it will take to get people to watch children around water. Our children want to be safe, they want to follow the rules.

A year ago Ethan wanted to be safe, he was so excited to be able to go swimming with the other day camp kids. But sadly no one was watching. Why was no one watching? I just don't understand it. What will it take until we realize that children aren't water proof, that they need and trust the adults who care for them, to watch them.

Well I won't give up, I won't stop working to promote water safety, and I won't stop trying to get Ethan the treatments he needs. I wait for the day that Ethan will be able to walk and talk again and maybe he can share his story and people will finally listen.
