JANUARY 28 11:12 a.m. -- After wandering through an open door to The Spinning Wheel, two-year-old Chantia Swann falls into a small pool. Weighed down by a winter coat, she cannot get out.

11:21 a.m. -- Mr. Kent Simmons finds Chantia submerged and floating on her back. He pulls her out, yells for someone to call an ambulance, and starts artificial respiration.

11:22 a.m. -- The ambulance service receives a 911 call to The Spinning Wheel.

11:25 a.m. P.c. Andrew Robinson of Bermuda Police arrives at The Spinning Wheel and begins CPR.

11:28 a.m. A doctor, a nurse, and two EMTs arrive at The Spinning Wheel to find the girl "purple'' from lack of oxygen. Dr. Peter Smith takes over resuscitation efforts.

11:30 a.m. -- Aboard the ambulance, Dr. Smith tries to insert a tube in Chantia's windpipe, but it is too blocked with fluids. The team continues to give CPR and deliver oxygen through a facemask.

11:35 a.m. -- Chantia arrives in the emergency ward at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. She has no pulse, her pupils are fixed and dilated, her temperature is 29 Centigrade (37 is normal), there is no spontaneous breathing, and no movement.

11:36 a.m. A tube is inserted in Chantia's windpipe, an intravenous is started, and the child is hooked to a heart monitor which shows "a straight line.'' 11:55 a.m. -- After several minutes of medication and other efforts in emergency, a slight pulse is detected. The emergency team has done its job.

12:00 p.m. -- Chantia is transferred to intensive care, where she is wrapped in a "space blanket'' to contain body heat. Her heart has started to pump blood, but the pressure is "too low to record.'' 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. -- A "juggling act'' is under way, as Chantia is hooked to four IVs and treated with 10 different drugs. Doctors try to slowly raise her body temperature while preventing brain activity, controlling seizures, and fighting inevitable infections like pneumonia.

1 p.m. -- Chantia is trying to breathe.

2 p.m. -- Seizures begin, a bad sign which usually indicates severe brain dysfunction.

3:00 p.m. -- The tot's blood pressure is still barely detectable. The drug dopamine is administered to shrink her blood vessels and increase pressure.

4:30 p.m. -- Chantia's temperature has reached 32 C.

5:00 p.m. -- The child's left lung bursts, and a tube is inserted to get it working again.

10:00 p.m. -- Chantia's body temperature is now normal, and her pupils begin to react to light. Oxygen in the ventilator can now be reduced to 85 percent purity from 100. Still, air is only 21 percent oxygen.

*** JANUARY 29 7:00 a.m. -- The girl's blood oxygen level, "horribly low'' upon arrival, is normal.

12 p.m. -- Oxygen in Chantia's respirator is reduced to 50 percent purity.

1:30 p.m. -- An emotional moment, as Chantia's grandmother enters her room, says, "Please wake up,'' and the child opens her eyes. But Chantia's pneumonia is worsening, and her left lung is almost full of infection.

*** JANUARY 30 9 a.m. -- A CAT scan showed minimal fluid on the brain, another good sign.

*** JANUARY 31 9 a.m. X-rays shows Chantia's left lung is clearing up, but part of her right lung is now involved with pneumonia. But the child continues to improve and more sedatives are needed to keep her asleep. Doctors still want her brain to rest.

*** FEBRUARY 1 8 a.m. -- Chantia's lungs have improved, and drugs to keep her paralysed and unconscious are stopped.

11:30 a.m. -- The child is taken off the ventilator, "breathes beautifully,'' and awakes.

*** FEBRUARY 2 6:30 a.m. -- "Very stable,'' and out of danger, Chantia is transferred to the children's ward.

*** FEBRUARY 10 Chantia goes home.
