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.

Hayes said she was standing on a cliff in the parking lot in the San Diego suburb of Encinitas when she heard the commotion, though she didn't see the shark.

Her son was with a friend diving in about 9ft of water about 150 yards offshore of the San Diego suburb of Encinitas when he was attacked. 

Witnesses estimated the shark was about 11ft long, but the type was not known.

A trio of rescuers pulled the badly-bleeding boy to a kayak and applied pressure before he was airlifted to the hospital.

Keane Hayes, a 13-year-old boy who was attacked by a shark early Saturday, September 29, was in serious condition, downgraded from the critical condition according to a spokesperson from Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego

'We got very, very lucky, and we know it, and we are very thankful,' Ellie Hayes said alongside her husband and Keane's stepfather, her voice choking as she spoke of how much she loved her son.

Dr. Tim Fairbanks, chief of pediatric surgery at Rady's, said Webre-Hayes remained in serious condition from what he described as a very large and very deep bite that reached the chest wall. 

It tore his left upper back, shoulder, torso, face and ear but did not damage his vascular system.

San Diego reported that the attack occurred at around 7am local time on Saturday at Beacon's Beach in Encinitas, north of San Diego

'Keane wants you to know he has all his limbs, and he's going to be going home fully intact,' Fairbanks said. 

'We're thrilled to be where we are right now. But we still need to get him across the finish line and get him all the way better.'

Hayes was reluctant to speak in detail about the incident but said her son was insistent about wanting to go lobster diving.

'He had said, `Mom, I'm going to make you a lobster dinner tonight,' so he owes me one,' she said.

Hayes said the one word she would choose to describe her son is nice, but she also used brave, strong and athletic.

'He's a warrior,' she said. 'I didn't know he was that good of a swimmer.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
