Now Sébastien is wearing a neck brace and will be visiting a specialist next week. "One wrong move." It can happen to anyone "I could've been paralyzed," Sébastien said. The family found out later, the teen had a front crack in his C6 vertebrae. They were also concerned he might've had a concussion. With a sore neck that he could barely move, Sébastien got out of the pool and sat down, where he was assessed by his family. When he came back to the water's surface, Sébastien immediately told his mother what had happened and that he didn't follow her instructions. So he ended up hitting his head at the bottom of the pool, which is just over four feet deep. When his mom wasn't looking, Sébastien thought he could sneak in a quick dive.īut when he dove in, Sébastien didn't have his hands clasped in front of him. So Sébastien, who is described by his mother as courageous and likes to try new things, wanted to try it too. One of the teens visiting the Quispamsis family, tried diving into the pool, when he was told not to. Sébastien's family was having friends over last Friday night. "The doctor said there aren't many people that even get to talk about it, let alone walk away from this injury," Richard said. The 13-year-old decided to dive into his family's above ground pool after his mother, Natalie Richard, strictly told him not to all day.
Doctors at the Saint John Regional Hospital told Sébastien Gogan he's lucky to be alive after diving head first into his backyard pool last weekend.
