I cannot even begin to fathom the horror this poor grandfather must have felt, let alone the feelings of helplessness

A gust of wind blew a 2-year-old in a stroller into Lake Michigan, where the boy remained submerged for at least 15 minutes before being pulled out unconscious but alive.
The child's grandfather, who had been pushing the stroller on the lakeside Friday afternoon, jumped into the harbor to try to save the boy, the Chicago Fire Department said.
Witnesses said the frantic grandfather struggled in the frigid water, just off a 70-foot long pier, pointing a few feet away and shouting in broken English, "Child! Child!"
"He was just moaning in the breakwater, crying," said John Derscheid, who called 911.
Found an update that says the babe is improving!!!

"I think he will be OK," a man who identified himself as the boy's father said. "I hope so. We are praying."Anvar Teparic, a family friend, said the 2-year-old's parents were optimistic when he spoke to them Saturday. "The last I'm hearing from his father is that he's doing better still," Teparic said. "I hope so."The boy was listed Friday in critical condition at Children's Memorial Hospital, where he was taken after a dramatic rescue by members of the Chicago Fire Department's dive team.
Divers found the boy, still strapped in his stroller, about 10 feet beneath the water's edge.
