Summary

I am a parent in our Hardesty family, and I share the heart-stopping moment when our little boy, Patrick, nearly drowned during our family vacation at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii. While we were enjoying a joyous time together, a simple oversight—removing his life jacket—led to him being left unsupervised in a shallow play area. Panic set in when we realized he had been missing for about 20 minutes. In that desperate moment, our unwavering faith held us together. With the timely intervention of Disney cast members and the steadfast prayer of our family, Patrick was rescued and taken to the hospital. Miraculously, he recovered fully with no lasting harm. This testimony stands as a vivid reminder of God’s protective power and the strength that comes from keeping faith in His word.

When the Hardesty family went on their family vacation, they had no idea it would end with the near drowning and recovery of their little boy. They were simply enjoying a special vacation at Disney’s Auani resort in Hawaii with 30+ members of their extended family.

One afternoon, they were sitting by the pool, enjoying the special time with their family members, when their son Patrick asked to go to the bathroom. Therese took off his life jacket and asked one of Patrick’s older cousins to take him to the restroom. When he returned, Therese forgot put his life jacket back on, thinking that he was simply playing nearby in a small children’s wade pool about 12-inches deep.

Time passed, and young family members came back to tell them that a boy had drowned in the resort’s lazy river. That’s when Therese and Shawn realized that they hadn’t seen Patrick in about 20 minutes. They began their search and eventually came in contact with a Disney cast member. They explained that they were looking for their son. When another cast member joined them, they found her holding Patrick’s shirt.

Shawn never wavered in his faith that God would save Patrick and help him recover from nearly drowning. He along with Therese and Therese’s father went to the hospital, prayed for Patrick and continued to remain in faith for his complete recovery. And recover he did. At the hospital, Patrick showed no ill effects from his near drowning and made a complete recovery. Hospital workers were amazed that he recovered so quickly.
