Mother says it's a miracle her son survived shark attack

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The mother of a 13-year-old boy who suffered a large shark bite while lobster fishing in California said Monday that it's a miracle her son survived.

Keane Webre-Hayes ate a cup of noodles and a doughnut and is talking and alert, said his mother, Ellie Hayes. He is eager to resume playing baseball and get back in the ocean.

Someone brought a mask and snorkel to him at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, and he said he wasn't afraid of the water.

"He said, 'Mom, the chances are so much more slim on the second bite," she said to laughter of reporters who heard her speak publicly about Saturday's attack for the first time.
