Logan Pinto, who is 22 months old, apparently wandered away from his baby

sitter Thursday and fell into a canal near his home in Rexburg, about 275 miles

east of Boise. He was submerged for nearly 30 minutes before police found him a

half-mile downstream, said Rexburg police Capt. Randy .

Though an officer gave him CPR and emergency workers did everything they

could to revive him, said, the boy was pronounced dead when it appeared

the

effort had failed. After giving the boy's mother and stepfather - Debra and

Joe Gould - some time to say goodbye, Madison Memorial Hospital nurse

Zollinger began to prepare Logan's body for the funeral home.

But when she looked at the boy, she noticed his chest was slightly moving and

realized that Logan was alive.

The boy was flown to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City,

where he was listed in critical condition Friday. Late Thursday, he was

breathing

on his own and his color had returned, but he was placed back on a respirator

Friday, said.

" I'm just amazed and overwhelmed with what took place, " said. " They

aggressively worked on him for quite a bit of time, and of course it's a bad

situation when you have to let the parents know that their son has passed away. "

But despair turned to joy when emergency workers learned the boy was alive.

" It's called divine intervention, I think. I was dumbfounded. I couldn't

believe it hardly, especially after leaving there and seeing what had

transpired, "

said. " I don't know how to explain it. It's joyous and relieving. "
