A toddler was reported in serious condition at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas Wednesday, September 18th, after being found unresponsive in a pool Monday night in Greeley. Anderson County Undersheriff Wes McClain says the 15-month-old female apparently slipped out of sight of parents and relatives in Greeley and was found several minutes later unresponsive in the pool. Family members called emergency dispatch and were instructed on how to administer CPR while emergency units responded. Mcclain says when officers arrived, they took over administering CPR and when EMS arrived, they took it from there.
Mcclain says EMS quickly loaded the child, who was breathing but labored, and made a “mad dash” for the hospital with a police escort clearing traffic back to Garnett. He says as of Tuesday night the child was breathing but remained intubated, and CT scans attempting to determine any possible neurological damage had so far been negative. The Anderson County Review attempted to contact Children’s Mercy Wednesday, but was not able to get a reply.
