Family gives update on toddler involved in pool incident in Arab

UPDATE: In a Facebook post on Sunday, the family of a toddler involved in a pool incident in Arab says they're taking this time to say goodbye.

Arab Police say they received a call about 7 p.m. Monday night of a possible drowning at a home on Almond Drive.

Two-year-old Violet Satterfield was rushed to Marshall Medical for treatment and then airlifted to Children's of Birmingham.

In the Facebook post, Violet's mother, Rebekah Satterfield, released this statement: "Violet is finally up to normal temperature. She has had two brain death exams, both of which did not go well. We have another exam tomorrow that is expected to go the same way. I cannot thank all of her prayer warriors enough for keeping her name risen these past few horrible days. We are taking this time as a family to say goodbye. I'm so sorry to be delivering such bad news after all of the uplifting words you all have poured over us."

The community held a vigil in Arab for Violet on Tuesday.
