"Somebody help my son!"I (7) ,over and over.But I only heard a woman scream."That (8) just went over the waterfall!"she shouted at her husband."We are leaving!"They walked away,not even looking back to see whether our child was OK.
By the time (9) climbed down to the rocks below,my husband had pulled Wyatt out of the water with the help of a young woman.She was (10) first aid."I'm Lisa,a nurse.I'm not leaving you." She looked at me (11) ,as if she were trying to take every bit of energy,(12) and strength(力量)in her body and pass it on to me.I held on to that energy like a rope that could pull us to(13) .
Wyatt was taken to the hospital immediately.(14) we spent a sleepless night there,we were told Wyatt was going to be OK.
