This week a dream summer vacation in heaven has turned into a nightmare for a rich family.
A 42 -year -old husband and father is in intensive care at Miami Hospital after a crime in Bahamas, who almost spends her in her life.
After flying from DFW, who arrived at Bahamas on Monday, the slow family could not wait to pose for a picture on the beach before 10 days holiday in Exuma.
But after minutes, on the first day of the journey, something happened in the water that would change their lives forever.

Whitney Slaw said, “Like a 20 -minute snorkel, you know, right on the beach, just before we eat,” said Whitney Slow.
Whitney Slow said her husband, Brent, and her two daughters were snorkeling only 20 feet from the beach, when a small boat appeared with the coastline.
“I saw that this boat was seen moving so close to the shore, and I was so, ‘What hell?” “Whitney Slow said.
“I thought there was a tab, and I was so, ‘Did I just hit a boat?” “Brent Slaw said.
A 42 -year -old former Army Ranger, Brent Slaw, was almost half of his body cut by propeller blade as it fell on him.
Whitney Slow said, “His bottom was almost completely separated from his feet.”
“My left leg was not working, and I felt something wrong with my lower body,” said Brent Slow.
When the couple’s teenage daughter had to save her father from a float, the trauma increased.
Meanwhile, the boat, captured a security camera, was going.
“So I came in front and I looked at my right and I look at two men in a boat and one of them look back and they just keep walking,” Brent Slow said.
This was followed by an ambulance behind a truck behind the jet that would take Brent Slow to a hospital in America.
“The doctor told me,” Please go to a hospital in Miami, you need to go to America for this painful thing, “said Brent Slaw.
The injuries include several leg fractures and deep gush that doctors say that they can also be fatal if they become infected.
But the couple knows that it may be worse.
“This God was receiving us through this 100%,” said Whitney Saf.
In the Bahamas, with his daughters still, his mother is going back and going on a mission: he is firm to find men on this boat.
“Oh, they are found,” he said.
Whitney Slow is worried that the authorities will not get the boat responsible without its persistence.
Whitney Slaw said, “This is against the law to be within 200 feet of law.” “Brent was about 20 feet outside … I want them to make themselves inside, but if they do not inside themselves, we have to find them.”
A family holiday that should be careless, but instead became scary for the Prosper family, which would eventually require help in arranging an expensive private ambulance flight from Miami to Dallas. Family friends have started a gofundme for expenses.
Whitney Slow said, “It breaks my heart because we are not on holiday together, and we are not with our girls at the same time.” “I am very grateful that he is alive.”
If one thing that Slaos said that other people can learn from their experience, then they want them to have a medical insurance journey for traveling outside the country.
CBS News Texas contacted the authorities in Bahamas about the investigation, but could not reach anyone familiar with the case.
