It so great you were there. This poor girl will probably definitely have some issues because of this. I almost drowned when I was 3. I was at a family reunion in the pond. I wasn't old enough to swim, but i had a life jacket on & me & my cousin were on oposite sides of an inner tube, sitting on it floating. Well she fell off backwards & it flipped over onto me. The life jacket pressed against the inner tube & held me under water. I could get my face out of water, but just barely. Shortly after my mom noticed she hadn't heard me for a while & came running down the hill to save me, i could see her coming. But according to my therapist this is the reason I panic whenever I'm splashed in the face (like by a shower, or tall water slide) or when I'm in a crowd, or any time I feel trapped. These poor girls.....and there was no reason for it.
