TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – A Tucson teen is recovering at a local hospital after a near-drowning incident while whitewater rafting in Montana.<\/p>\n

Evie Scoville\u2019s boat overturned, submerging her for about 10 minutes. Those who were with her did 45 minutes of CPR before paramedics were able to get to her.<\/p>\n

Doctors told Evie\u2019s family that the CPR was crucial in saving her life.<\/p>\n

She is in critical condition in the ICU at a Tucson hospital, but the family tells 13 News that she is making progress.<\/p>\n

Evie was underwater for 10 minutes, which meant her brain and other organs were unable to receive oxygen. Her boyfriend\u2019s family then administered CPR before paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn health class, we did a little CPR thing, and I could barely do it for two minutes, so I was like, 45 minutes- that\u2019s so much time, and we\u2019re so thankful that so many people knew CPR and could help out,\u201d said Evie\u2019s brother Eric.<\/p>\n

Tucson Fire Department Assistant Chief Barrett Baker said knowing CPR is essential, especially if someone\u2019s heart stops beating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s five minutes or 25 minutes, until the cavalry gets there, that CPR is what\u2019s keeping that person alive or giving them a shot to someday walk out of the hospital,\u201d Baker said.<\/p>\n

Baker said providing care to a person in critical condition is crucial, especially since it takes time before paramedics can arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween the traffic and construction and all of those things, it does take time to get to a location once the 911 system is activated. So just to be able to do effective CPR, you are a lifesaver,\u201d Baker said.<\/p>\n

Evie\u2019s loved ones both know CPR and urge others to learn it too. They also emphasize the importance of being prepared.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven something as little as knowing CPR, worst goes to worst, you can help out more than you can ever imagine,\u201d Eric Scoville said.<\/p>\n

Evie\u2019s best friend Gabriella Gallerani said she saw the value of CPR and recently took a class.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really did see the value of it, and it\u2019s important to know how that truly saved Evie\u2019s life, and I think it\u2019s really important that everyone knows how to do it,\u201d Gallerani said.<\/p>\n

Loved ones describe Evie as someone with an infectious personality and an adventurous spirit who is loved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t remember being in the same room with her and feeling, like, bored,\u201d Eric Scoville said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite being here for barely almost a year now, she had tons of friends. She had an amazing community around her,\u201d Gallerani said.<\/p>\n
