Boy whose stroller blew into lake is getting stronger

Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago says a 2-year-old boy who spent 15 minutes underwater after his stroller was blown into Lake Michigan has grown strong enough to be taken off a respirator.

The hospital says Lazar Ognjenovic has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.

The child's grandfather had been pushing him in a stroller along the lakeside on April 18th when the stroller went into the 42-degree water. Authorities say the grandfather jumped into the harbor to save the boy but was able only to shout for help.

The boy remained submerged for at least 15 minutes before members of the Chicago Fire Department's dive team pulled him out.
