A Gibson County 3-year-old who nearly died after trying to rescue a cat from her family pool talks about the experience and says she saw Jesus.

Like many Mid-South parents, Johnny and Christy Kimbro say they spend a lot of time in the pool with their kids, especially during the hot summer months.

They are thankful after their 3-year-old daughter, Ella, nearly drowned after she said she reached in the pool to rescue her cat Elsa.

“What I do remember is standing over my daughter and I reached down to feel for a pulse, couldn’t find a pulse,” says Johnny.

On May 22, the three Kimbro kids were out riding their bikes when Christy looked out and didn’t see little Ella.

When she looked over at their pool, she saw her young daughter floating face up.

“She was blue, she was cold. I pulled her out of the pool. She wasn’t breathing,” adds Christy.

Ella’s father, Johnny, started CPR. Her pupils were dilated.

“I thought she was dead when I first saw her. I remember yelling ‘Oh My God, she’s dead!,'” adds Christy.
