Lazar Ognjenovic, the three year old boy who fell in Lake Michigan's cold waters, in April has fully recovered, according to officials who addressed a press conference at Children's Memorial Hospital.

"He is absolutely normal," said Dr. Leon Epstein, chief of neurology at Children's Memorial Hospital. "He walks and talks and acts absolutely like a 3-year-old boy."

The Chicago Fire Department's Air Sea Rescue team rescued Lazar, whose parents are Serbian. It is estimated the boy spent 15 minutes in the frigid water.

A hospital spokeswoman said Lazar had showed no signs of being afraid of water.
