Our family wants to thank the man who helped my sister revive my neice and for helping to keep my other niece calm while he and bound her cut arm. He and my sister alternated CPR once they reached the beach. The girl with the cut arm(cut by the propelor when the boat ran them over) is doing better. The one with the head injury is still in critical condition and has not regained conscouisness. Doctors are hopeful though. We appreciate all your prayers for both girls and the grandparents. By the way, to one who said the girls fell off the raft, one of the girls felt the boat hit her twice. And at least 3 witness saw the boat hit the girls. I respectfully say you must have seen it from an angle that did not show the whole pitcure. And the man on the beach who helped came to the hospital and spoke to the second child that did not recieve CPR. She remembers him annd everything that happened. Please pray for her peace of mind.

There is no "cover-up." Two girls were injured in the accident and both were transported to JRMC. The more critical of the two was flown to Children's Hospital. I am told one of the girls had a severe laceration. The other had a possible brain injury (most likely the one that was revived on scene).

@iewalthall....thanks for the clarification...that was more informative then the report.

i for one think this article is bull i was at regional yesterday and saw what happened the people i was with called the police she wasnt hit by a boat her tube went 30 feet in the air and crashed hard and hurt her who is the second girl i only saw one in the boat trying to be reveved so i would like for someone to explain this cover-up my wishes go out to the family i will keep you in my prayers

OMG...Really...why write a report if this is all the info you have. This brief synopsis of a story sounds like a second grader wrote it. Did the second boat that drive by the raft hit the raft or did the waves knock the kids off the raft and into the water. If the kids are @ Childrens and infact in critical condition then something serious happened to the poor kids...example...was hit by the boat? I pray for the children and the families. I'm disappointed in the report but my main concern is those children. May God send his angels to protect you and heal you. I also wonder if the kids had life jackets on...just curious?
