Ryder Cornthwait turns three in August. Just a few months after his second birthday, his parents didn't know if he'd see another one. His mom works overnight shifts, so when she needed someone to watch Ryder, she asked her mom, Chrissy Rogers. Rogers had an appointment that day, so little Ryder went to work with his dad, Justin Cornthwait. Ryder's dad works as an electrician and took the toddler along with him to work at a house in Bradenton. Rogers recounts when she first learned something went wrong. Her life turned upside down when her daughter called her in a panic. "I went to get lunch and just walked in the door to the most heart-wrenching call from my daughter, screaming that he was being air-flighted. We didn't know which hospital. Didn't know which way to go," she said. Ryder had nearly drowned.
