Good day everyone I'm not active the other day because I've been so busy, now I have time to write this article that serves as a lesson to all parents out there. Until now I can't even move on from what happened.
Yesterday Sunday, October 03, 2021, my husband's cousin celebrated the first birthday and Christianity of their baby. The baptism was around 10:00 in the morning and the venue was held in the private resorts(newly opened resort).
We're not able to attend the baptism ceremony because my family went to the beach at that time but we were just back around 1:00 in the afternoon and the afternoon my husband just finished his work for us that we can go to the venue of the celebration.
In the second picture, this was taken around 5:00 in the afternoon my husband's cousin took this picture. As you can see the adult pool and kiddie pool are just side by side. So the kids must have adult supervision for safety.
We arrived at the venue around 6:30 in the evening, they are all enjoyed singing videoke while the kids are also enjoyed swimming in the kiddie pool. We just eat first and then my two kids are very excited to go swimming so I just accompanied them to the children's pool. Now and then I didn't take out of my sight to my two kids while the other kids are also guarded by the teenagers.
A few minutes after we were swimming with my two-year-old daughter, a woman shouted that there was a kid who drowned and needs immediate help. They immediately ran towards the pool. When they got it out in the pool, the child is starting to turn black. His mother was crying and almost fainted. Thank goodness that there is someone who knows how to do first aid.
What first aid do they apply?
First, they lay the child on the flat surface and tell the others to keep away so that there is still air. They first check if the child is still breathing and if it still responds.
Second, they rescue the breathing of the child then they start the chest compression after a second they saw that the child is fighting for his life.
Third, they do the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after a minute the child revives and starts to cry.
Fourth, they immediately bring the child to the nearest hospital for further examination.
After the incident, they start blaming each other why that they don't noticed the kid? Who is the Guardian of the kid? Nobody likes what's happened but it's already happened now all we can do is to pray for the fast recovery of the child.
After taking the child to the hospital we found out that he had slipped on the floor so he fell into the adult pool. The child develops a lump on the head and his face due to his fall.
Is there any lifeguard in the pool?
No, there is no lifeguard. They said this is a private resort, not a public resort and the pool is just too small so it doesn't need a lifeguard.
But why did he go to the adult pool?
That's the question we couldn't answer for now, you know kids when they are so happy they don't know what they are doing and at the age of five years old parents should be the one who is responsible for their children.
Lesson Learned to parents
Don't just be comfortable with your kids especially when swimming in the pool or beach you should keep an eye on them because we don't know what's gonna happen next. We are the no. 1 responsible for our children.
Until here I have to wash our dishes first I'll be back later😊
