car veered into a canal<\/a> during a medical emergency in Martin County. Wilkins was rushed to the hospital and spent days on a ventilator, unable to breathe on her own.<\/p>\n“She was completely lifeless and unconscious,” Curtis said.<\/p>\n
“From seeing her to that\u2014 to today is just amazing to see her alive and lively and laughing and joking around it’s been fantastic,” Curtis said.<\/p>\n
Curtis says as Wilkins recovers, he’s being thanked repeatedly by the family for helping save her life.<\/p>\n
A GoFundMe<\/a> has been started for the family as they lost their car and face medical expenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Martin County man who rescued a mother and three children from a canal after a medical emergency…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[28,1160,54474,75758,171,173,172,723,75757,179,12758],"class_list":{"0":"post-157993","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-port-st-lucie","8":"tag-florida","9":"tag-martin-county","10":"tag-martin-county-crash","11":"tag-martin-county-gofundme","12":"tag-port-st-lucie","13":"tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","14":"tag-port-st-lucie-news","15":"tag-rescue","16":"tag-submerged-car","17":"tag-treasure-coast","18":"tag-wptv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
