MOSUL, Iraq--Spc. Lucas Crowe didn't know what to expect Saturday when he arrived at the home of 2-year-old Muhammad.
Two days earlier, Crowe revived the boy after he nearly drowned in a flooded basement. He hadn't gotten word on whether Muhammad was still alive or suffering lasting effects after he was taken to a hospital by Iraqi paramedics.
Crowe and other soldiers from the 2-1 visited the family's home Saturday in hopes of finding out how the boy was doing. They didn't know if he was still in the hospital or not. But Crowe was relived to find Muhammad wrapped in a pink fluffy blanket and sleeping in his father's arms as Crowe and the other soldiers entered the family's yard.
"He looks good," Crowe said, smiling and greeting the family as they crowded around.
The near-drowning took place Thursday as U.S. troops were actively patrolling areas near polling places on election day.
