A drowning toddler was saved Tuesday when some quick-thinking medics answered a call for help in Oceanside
Some medics from the Reach Air ambulance service were at the North County city's Fire Training Center at around 4 p.m. on Benet Road when they heard a woman screaming.
The woman was reacting to the sight of her 18-month-old floating in a small pond, according to the Oceanside Police Department. The medics, who were soon joined by paramedics from OFD, came running when they heard her and performed CPR on the child, who was life-flighted to Rady Children's Hospital.
NBC 7 contacted OPD on Wednesday regarding the toddler's medical status and was told that the medical staff at Rady will be waiting a few days until making a final determination on the severity of the child's injuries.
