Three Survive Three-Day River Stranding | San Antonio News

Three stranded souls — two women and a nine-year-old boy — battled the elements for three harrowing days on the Muskegon River, surviving on protein bars, bark, and flowers after their rafts broke and their phone died. With no way to call for help, they pushed forward, even as Jazmin missed a critical surgery. A frantic search involving drones, helicopters, and search dogs ended when a DNR officer spotted their footprints and heard their desperate cries. Rescuers had to chainsaw through brush to free Sarah, who’d been pushing ahead while Jazmin and Kayden rested. All were hospitalized — Kayden recovered, but Jazmin was readmitted with an infection. The broken car window? Unrelated theft. The family credits the community’s outpouring of support for getting them through.
