A thunderstorm had come up suddenly, chasing the Brouckaert family and their friends from the pool into the house. As the adults were drying off the children, someone noticed that 2-year-old Sarah Brouckaert was missing. A search began and she was quickly found face down in the swimming pool.

Sarah had no heartbeat and she wasn't breathing. A family friend, who happens to be a physician, gave Sarah CPR as she was rushed to the nearest hospital by her father. She was stabilized and transferred to USA Children's and Women's Hospital, where she arrived in critical condition with symptoms of severe neurological damage. Sarah was put on a ventilator, given drugs to control her seizures, and monitored around the clock in pediatric intensive care. After several days in a coma, Sarah awoke. Surprising everyone -including her mother, an ER doctor- Sarah was up and about in a matter of days, happily playing in the hospital's playroom.

Confounding all the odds, this little fighter not only survived the accident but escaped permanet injury as well. She is, without a doubt, a walking miracle.
