Mom Warns About Dangers Of Dry Drowning - Inspirational Videos

4-year-old Elianna Grace nearly lost her life after playing with family members in their backyard pool in Bradenton, Florida. In a freak accident, Elianna ended up swallowing a large amount of water.

She immediately threw up and a few minutes later she seemed back to normal and was playing in the pool again. But over the next few days, Elianna started to have fevers and complain of being tired. Lacey Grace, Elianna's mother, remembered a story she had seen last year on TV about a young boy dying from 'dry drowning.'

After consulting with a family doctor, Lacey took her daughter to the hospital where she was diagnosed with secondary drowning which is when water becomes trapped in the lungs. It can take up to 48 hours for symptoms to appear.

Thankfully, Elianna's condition was caught in time, but left untreated, it could've been deadly. Now, this mom is speaking out to make sure everyone knows the signs and symptoms of this dangerous condition.
