时文摘要
Brad是两个孩子的父亲,他平时喜欢盘腿坐在池底冥想。一天,孩子们的朋友来他家玩,他像往常一样坐在泳池里冥想。忽然,他脸色苍白,侧身倒在了泳池里,停止了呼吸。孩子们看到后,立马对他展开了营救……
Just days before the holiday, Brad was doing some deep breathing exercises in his backyard pool while his twin 10-year-old sons, Bridon and Christian, played with their friend, Sam Ebert. Brad does this meditation(冥想) every day, sitting cross-legged on the bottom of the pool for minutes on end.
Brad finds performing these exercises in the pool “peaceful and relaxing”, but he doesn’t remember finishing them that day. At some point he stopped breathing and fell over onto his side, his face turning pale. Christian noticed that his dad was sitting in a different way than usual so he jumped into the water.
“Dad’s not okay!” Christian called out to his brother. Bridon told Sam to call for help, but since they didn’t have any phones with them, Sam had to run to a neighbor’s house. When he discovered that no one was home, he ran outside and turned to a passing driver who then called 911.
Meanwhile, Christian and Bridon dragged(拖) Brad over the pool’s stairs, but he was not breathing. Although he’d never done CPR before, Bridon said they’d seen it done on TV. The boy began to perform CPR and rescue breaths all the while begging, “Please, dad, come back.” Soon, an ambulance arrived. It was then that Brad began to cough — he was back!
“When I kind of came to — I’m coughing up blood and water, struggling to breathe, and there are people everywhere. My one son was shouting, ‘Daddy, daddy, come back!’” said Brad.
After spending a night in the hospital, Brad was able to go home. Now, he’s counting his lucky stars that he wasn’t alone in the pool that day, and he’s advising others to never swim alone. Most importantly, he couldn’t be more thankful that his sons and their friend were able to act so quickly to save his life.
“I love them,” said Brad. “I’m very proud of them and grateful. I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life.”
