One-year-old in critical condition after nearly drowning

The Mesa Police Department said a one-year-old was pulled from a pool around 10:30 a.m. near Southern Ave. and Greenfield Road.

Lillian was taken to Carden’s Children’s Medical Center in Mesa. Talboys said Lillian was pronounced dead twice before noon, but efforts to resuscitate Lillian continued, and medical staff was able to get Lillian’s heart beating regularly. She is on a ventilator and is in critical condition.

“She’s doing really well… She’s opened her eyes a couple times, said Amy, the girl’s older sister. “She’s in there and she’s still trying to fight through everything.”
