I realized that we hadn't chronicled this event in Lauren's life on our blog. I do believe we sent out an email about the event, however, it should have an entry here as well. Plus there are some cute pictures to show.
The short version of the story is that Amy and her family did the classic "I thought she was with you" thing and briefly lost accountability of Lauren at her family's house, where they have a pool. The pool area wasn't fenced at the time and Lauren slipped out the door that everyone thought was locked and went for a swim. After looking all over the house and then following that gut wrenching thought that she might be in the back yard Amy found Lauren floating on her back, unconscious, and her stomach full of water.
Lauren came to and vomited all that water, but Amy and the family rushed her to the hospital, which was actually just around the corner to be sure everything was okay with her. All this took place in the morning and she was released from the hospital around 5 in the evening.
I tell this story using third person because I wasn't there myself. I was at SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) school where we're locked out from the outside world completely for three weeks. This news was a week old before I heard about it.

Andy, Lauren was most certainly blessed by Heavenly Father! Thanks for writing it up.
