SHE is the mystery angel who saved the life of a seven-year-old boy not once, but twice after a sting from a potentially deadly box jellyfish .
The family of Osborne Kewe now want to thank the mystery nurse who twice pulled their son back from the brink of death on a Townsville beach last Sunday.
Osborne was left critically ill, unconscious, with no pulse and had stopped breathing after being stung on the leg and arm at the beachside suburb of Pallarenda about 4pm.
A woman, who told the family she was a registered nurse, was walking her dogs when she saw the drama unfold.
She managed to revive Osborne before paramedics arrived at the scene about 15 minutes later.
Osborne's grateful mum, Susan, said the woman gave her a hug and left without leaving her details.
"It was a miracle. He (Osborne) died twice, went into cardiac arrest twice, and she brought him back to life twice," Mrs Kewe said.
"She is his saviour, his guardian angel, and without her he would be dead.
"We just want to thank her so much in person."
Osborne's sister, Tracy, 14, captured footage of the incident, showing the blonde heroine pumping the boy's chest while shouting at him, "Stay with me".
Her efforts paid off when Osborne regained consciousness, screaming in pain from the stings.
The lucky little boy yesterday told how the pain was so bad he felt like he had been covered in boiling oil.
He said he remembered losing consciousness both times, before waking in excruciating pain and seeing the nurse standing above him.
Mrs Kewe, a religious woman, likened it to the Christian message of Easter.
"It is amazing to think of Easter, of death and rebirth, and it happened to my own son," Mrs Kewe said.
"I'm still trembling from the shock. The jellyfish was trying to eat him.
"It thought he was its prey."

Not real sure i would think over time it would fade more because of his age.

You would think after time being so young it would start to go away as the skin stretches.

| I didn't think about the skin stretching and it makes sense that it might fade away as he gets older.
