Two vacationing nurses revive ‘lifeless’ boy pulled from ocean

When 12-year-old Levi Floyd struggled to come up while swimming at North Carolina's Holden Beach last Saturday, his parents were nearly convinced they'd lost him.

"Levi's lifeless. There was nothing," mom Lyndsey Floyd told North Carolina's local WGHP station.

CPR was getting them nowhere. He looked like “120 lbs of blue rubber. Like he wasn’t even a person,” she added.

Then two strangers—both nurses—came to the rescue.

They continued CPR as the family belted out in song and prayer. One of the nurses, Derek Gibson, finally felt a pulse.

“I did not know what was going on,” Levi told WGHP. “I didn't know where I was, and I just freaked out.”

He reconnected with hero Gibson on FaceTime on Wednesday.

“You look so much better than the little blue kid I saw on the beach,” Gibson told the boy.

According to WGHP, Levi is completely healthy, and the family hopes to keep in touch with their nurse angels.
