POQUOSON, Va. — “I don’t want to say I did it, because the EMT’s got there so quick,” Amy Rogers tells 13News. “I remember hearing the ambulance coming, thinking in the back of my mind, ‘Please, hurry. Please, hurry. Please, hurry.”

Had the mother of three, herself, not hurried, those EMT’s as well as doctors at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters believe Alisa Boole might not have been here to celebrate her second birthday. November 15th, Alisa fell into a pool next door to Rogers’ home on Poquoson Avenue. Rogers ran to her neighbors’, summoned by the screams and crying of Alisa’s mother, Kristina Boole.

“After what I seen, I didn’t think I’d every see her again,” Boole says.
