  • Shark Attack Survival: Florida Keys Rescue & Faith

    Shark Attack Survival: Florida Keys Rescue & FaithA family's faith and quick actions saved their son after a shark attack in the Florida Keys. A nurse's aid and helicopter transport ensured survival. God's help was felt.

    Six-year-old sister Eliana, meanwhile, didn’t even intend to talk about what occurred. “Whenever we tell the tale to a person, Eliana goes into an additional area or covers her ears or places on earphones,” writes Mary.

    The Shark Attack Incident

    Racing back to the coast, Mary feared the worst. “He had lost a lot blood, more than I would certainly ever before seen,” she keeps in mind. “I was attempting to keep him awake, to get him to keep his eyes open, praying that he wouldn’t die.”

    When they reached the marina, a rescue was waiting to transport Jameson to a neighboring church– where a helicopter would certainly airlift him to Nicklaus Kid’s Hospital in Miami, a thirty-minute flight away.

    Swift Rescue and Medical Assistance

    They weren’t entirely alone. Various other boats quickly came to their assistance including one with a registered nurse onboard who swam to the Reeders with a first aid package, despite the fact that the shark was likely still neighboring and there was blood in the water.

    The household, meanwhile, associated their son’s incredible survival to their confidence. “I felt so certain that God was leading every snap choice,” creates Jameson Sr. “Every moment seemed like we had been assisted right into doing the very best thing.”

    Faith and Family Survival

    It was a sunny August Saturday when Mary and Jameson Reeder took a watercraft nine miles out right into Looe Secret Coral reef with their 4 children, for a day of swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the Florida Keys.
