Little Heroes!!

Tweet

I'm telling everyone in the world that I will be forever grateful to 3 of the children that go to school with mine. Kodi (11), Eric (9), & Jessica (9) are heroes in my eyes and when i'm doing my prayers and blessings these 3 will be forever on my list. Without them, I wouldn't have my darling daughter and even thinking that clutches my heart and tears me up. My daughter and a couple friends were playing at the creek the day before yesterday after school (which is against school rules and my house rules!). The grass was wet and my girl slipped and fell into the creek; which due to rain is running hard and fast and deep and cold. She managed to get her backpack off but her heavy winter jacket weighed her down. Jessica immediatly went running to the school to get help while Eric stayed at the side of the creek and encouraged Caitlyn to stay above water and get to a log on the side of the creek. Kodi was in the area and came running when he heard Caitlyn screaming for help. He got there as she got onto the log and assisted her in getting onto the shore. The teachers got there at this point and carried my daughter back to the school and got her out of the wet stuff and wrapped in blankets while they awaited the ambulance. My daughter had a mild case of hypothermia. It could have been so much worse. The paramedic told me that if she'd been in the cold water for even 60 seconds more, there may have not been anything they could have done :( The school had an assembly yesterday to remind the kids why they were not allowed to the creek and the police and paramedics were there to award Kodi, Eric and Jessica certificates because they are true heroes.. without them I wouldn't have my daughter with me today. I know they(and alot of people in my town) aren't ever going to see this but I want the world to know that these kids are heroes!
