Rescuers pull from a near drowning of three siblings
In Aiken, South Carolina, Ty and Ramona Carter recall a harrowing incident when Blake Carter, age three, fell into a backyard pool while Taryn watched on. Payton Carter, seven, leapt in to rescue his brother, pulling Blake's head above water until Ty could administer CPR and revive him. Blake recovered, and the family credits Payton's quick action and CPR for saving Blake's life. The event prompted reflections on blessings, adoption, and gratitude within the Carter family.
