Long Beach, Washington (AP) - As Charles Ostrander waved the turbulent waves of the Pacific, it was another 12-year-old, who has put his life on the line to save him - the first set of answers, which eventually Ostrander pulled back to the brink of death.
Nicole Kissel bold actions provided rescuers with what turned out to be an indispensable extension of the time. Ostrander, who goes by the nickname Dale, ended up spending several minutes lost in water, was found dead in the surf, but has since been taken over by a remarkable recovery that defies even the expectations of his parents.
On Wednesday, he was out of ICU and starts talking with his family.
After hearing the call for help Friday from Dale, Nicole immediately directed his boogie in deeper water, over the objections of his father, who shouted at the waves crashing on the dangerous conditions. Nicole has Dale, who was struggling to stay afloat and helped on the board of three feet. Together, the two young people struggling against the rip current, which had become a normal day at a popular beach in the chaos.
"When we were on board, type I screamed to myself:" We're going to die. I can not die like that, '"said Nicole.

If only.
A giant wave crashed against the couple, causing it to fall off the table. Nicole was able to get, but Dale disappeared in the waves.
By the time rescue teams reached the beach, the other members of the Church of Dale had traveled with the group and herded into tears and prayer, while some were in the truck trying to get a perspective of 'notice .
Eddie Mendez, a volunteer water rescue, it seemed his day job at a construction site where the emergency call came in the 34 years immediately ran towards the beach and turned into a wet suit, while his colleague launched two jet-skis.
Mendez said he saw a shadow moving in violation of water offshore, so rushed, and the diver. They scanned the area for a few minutes before Mendez saw the shadow again. They found the boy floating about two feet below the water surface.
"It was a white light and down," said Mendez.
When they pulled the boy on board, Mendez realized he had to save a child - at the age of his daughter.
"I thought, 'Wow, it's like my own child," said Mendez.
Mendez led the boy to shore, where emergency workers began trying to revive him. There were no signs of life, but they continued to perform CPR as they transported. Finally, after Dale arrived at a nearby hospital, his pulse back.
Dale then flown to Washington, south-west OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Ore. His parents still steeling herself for the worst.
"I expected to say goodbye and so did my wife, and we were just ready for this," said Chad Ostrander, who was the family home from Spanaway, Washington, when it happened. But Sunday night, when he calmed down a bit ', Dale opened his eyes.
"At that time, which was the first glimmer of hope," his father said. "He said he would do. I just wanted to say that there is hope."
It is not known whether it will fully recover, but her parents have hope.
"There were several miracles right under the circumstances to see that he is not dead, it can move, he can talk," Ostrander said Chad. "Incredible."
In general, the chances of surviving a nearly drowning when a person is young, the water is cold and the time spent in the water is short. Dr. Mark Morocco, an emergency physician at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, said the medical literature cited at least one case in which a person has survived after being submerged for about an hour.
Morocco said that Dale was wearing long sleeves, no doubt helped.
It is unclear how long the child was actually under water. Mendez said 15 minutes elapsed between the time of rescue were sent and the time Dale was fired from the sea.
Morocco, which was not involved in the care of Dale said prompt treatment is essential. He credited the rescuers to continue resuscitation efforts, even if the child had no pulse and reflexes.
"When this child of the surf, which looked dead," he said. "But you have to ignore the fact that it looks dead" and CPR.
Dale begins to speak on Monday. When his parents encouraged him to cough clears her throat, she replied: "I do not need."
Doctors warned his parents that, although Dale survives, he could have permanent brain damage.
The doctors "were very clear that he had been too long, had been without oxygen for too long," said Kirsten Ostrander. "We rely on (God) no matter what."
Dale will require speech and physical therapy, and can not leave the hospital bed again, his father said.
"Things are going better than anyone should in this moment, we are very happy," he said.
"Honestly, every perspective, doctors are very negative. They are very honest and blunt. But they said that occasionally there is a miracle, and do not want to leave this," said Ostrander.
Dale gave a few words. Ostrander said that when she said she could not get out of bed, "He rose and said: 'Yes, I can."
The other two words came Wednesday, when he visited Nicole Kissel.
She said he seemed to have trouble focusing your eyes for most of the 15-minute meeting. But as he left, he made eye contact first and said, "Thanks.
