I don't have the medical background that many of the folks here do, but when I did my rescue course, my instructor told us that CPR isn't an issue of keeping someone alive; it's a matter of bring a dead person back.
Sounds like she gave it her all and more. Wish her well and tell her not to beat herself up over it.

Well done! First answering the help call and then buy getting a puls by doing CPR. Quite amazing. You can't beat yourself up about it, who knows how long the child had been gone...what the outcome would have been if it had survived...you gave your best and that is far more than many people give.
Ishie,
You did everything humanly possible. Getting a pulse back is a huge accomplishment. However, you have to remember it was the accident that caused this death and nothing you did or didn't do. Childrens deaths are always the worst, I know that first hand. You might want to visit a counselor if the burden is too hard to bear. Getting it out is the best thing you can do, then your healing can begin.

Ishie,
Bless you for the work you. The fact you cared enough to respond and work so hard is a blessing to everyone involved. Your work gave the family that much more time with the child so God was guiding you that night.

Ishie, you truly are a hero. You did what relatively few people have ever done, bring a person back to life. You gave the family a chance to say good-bye to their baby, while she was still alive. As compared the baby having died in the hot tub, that was trully a wonderful gift.
