Justin Bowen received Life Saving Award from Tony Bartels
November 8, 2010
On the afternoon of
June 19, 2010 Brother Bowen was at the Edgerton,
Wisconsin
Aquatic
Center
. A young boy (Hayden Pritchard) was
pulled from the pool and Brother Bowen overheard yells for help from those
pulling the boy from the water. The
lifeguard checked life signs and requested someone call 911.
At that time Brother Bowen heard the call for help and responded
immediately. Brother Bowen began
chest compressions on the boy which caused him to regurgitate water.
Even still the boy remained unresponsive so Brother Bowen began another
round of chest compressions that led to the boy expelling more water and then
began breathing. Had it not been for
Brother Bowen, the young boy may not be alive today.
