San Juan Capistrano : Boy Rescued From Fountain Improving
A 22-month-old boy who was rescued from a 2-foot-deep fountain at Mission San Juan Capistrano was removed from intensive care Sunday, a Western Medical Center spokeswoman said.
Soren D. Baird was transferred to the Santa Ana hospital’s pediatrics ward, a spokeswoman said.
The boy had been pulled from the fountain Friday and given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
The boy had become separated from his parents, Forest and Joy Baird, visitors from Spokane, Wash., at the time of the incident.
After Soren was removed from the fountain, he was taken to Mission Community Hospital in Mission Viejo and then flown by helicopter to Western Medical Center.
