A two-year-old boy who almost drowned Saturday in a bathtub in the 1900 block of E. 84th Street is “improving day by day,” according to Sedgwick County Lieutenant Mike Oliver. Apparently, his mother had put the boy in an empty tub to get him cleaned up. She left the room, and when she came back there was water in the tub and the baby was face down in the water, not breathing. Possibly another child turned the faucet. Oliver had last talked with the family on Tuesday and said the boy “was resilient, hung in there, and was progressing.”
