Like any 12-year-old at the beach, Floyd\u2019s son dove into a wave. But Levi never came up for air last Saturday while visiting Holden Beach. His dad frantically pulled him from the water.<\/p>\n
\u201cLevi’s lifeless. There was nothing,\u201d Floyd recalled.<\/p>\n
The boy was blue from head to toe, had stopped breathing and had no pulse.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looked like [his father] threw 120 lbs of blue rubber. Like he wasn’t even a person,\u201d Floyd said.<\/p>\n
Floyd’s cousin, who is a nurse, started performing CPR.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe did an amazing job but there was nothing,\u201d Floyd said.<\/p>\n
That’s when two strangers, both nurses, rushed over to help.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not know what was going on. I didn’t know where I was and I just freaked out,\u201d Levi said.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As those nurses continued CPR, Levi’s family sang and prayed on the beach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just remember running to them, ‘Sing louder babies, just worship him louder. Sing louder.’ And the louder they got as I ran back to Levi, I hear Derek yell, ‘There’s a pulse,’\u201d Floyd said.<\/p>\n
Derek Gibson was one of the nurses. Wednesday he and Levi reunited over FaceTime.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look so much better than the little blue kid I saw on the beach,\u201d said Gibson, on FaceTime.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much,\u201d Levi exclaimed.<\/p>\n
It was a touching moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, ‘This can’t be real. I didn’t drown. I don’t remember it. It didn’t happen.’ But it did,\u201d Levi said.<\/p>\n
And a friendship formed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just keep in touch with me and I thank you forever and ever,\u201d Floyd said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m glad I’m sitting here with my family. I’m definitely grateful for those people,\u201d Levi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMyself, my husband, my babies — we will never be the same. Never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same,\u201d Floyd said.<\/p>\n
Miraculously, Levi is completely healthy. His family plans to keep in touch with the heroes who saved his life.<\/p>\n
