Such a wonderful and unique feeling to see that your kid is having such a well-developed sense of initiative and doesn’t stay to think twice when taking a right decision in critical situations, like in the following example. You must read it till the end, for sure you will have the same surprised reaction as we did.
Tracy Anderwald has very solid reasons to call herself a proud mother. Why? Well, at just five years old, her daughter saved her from drowning. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was up and it was warm outside so Tracy decided to enter their swimming pool with Allison, her daughter. After they had some fun inside the pool, Allison got bored in the pool and moved to the yard for some more fun. Nobody expected what happened next…
A seizure struck Tracy shortly after Allison left the pool and the mother’s head went under the water. Allison was not too far and she noticed that her mother stopped swimming and she is in great danger. She didn’t think an extra second and ran to the pool and jumped inside, dragging her outside the water, to safety. She removed the water from her lungs but the seizure was still there, and at that point, she went inside the house as quickly as she could to announce the family that her mother is in danger. The father dialed 911 while applying the medical procedure.
Then she opened her eyes. Tracy was in a hospital bed. A bit dizzy and confused, but safe. Unsure of how she arrived there and what happened. Tedra, her sister, explained Allison’s heroic actions, and she was so amazed to hear. “It’s a miracle!”, Tedra said. Tracy couldn’t believe her ears and checked the security cameras recordings and viewed the entire scene. Tracy looked at Allison and they hugged, thinking how lucky she is to have such an amazing daughter. Allison was so alert and worried until the last second, when her mother opened her eyes.
Allison learned to swim when she was just two and a half years old and even if it seems that she started a bit early with the lessons, you might think twice! They made a difference. A huge one! The footage was uploaded on YouTube, where the viewers expressed their thoughts on her heroic gesture. Now the video gathered no less than five million views, over 40,000 likes, and more than two thousand comments. They praised her instincts, fast-thinking, and that she knew exactly what to do. At just five years old, Allison became a real hero. Thanks to her, Tracy is fine and can see her growing and becoming an amazing woman.
Seizures are incredibly scary, considering that the causes are unknown. Here are some common symptoms and manifestations of a seizure: convulsions, unresponsiveness, confusion, lip-smacking, sudden mood swing, blank staring, loss of muscle tone, and rigidity of muscles. Some of the things that can cause them are head injuries, low blood sugar, certain medications, drug use, cancer, brain tumors, and more. They can be controlled with medication, but managing them.. that can have a huge impact on a person’s life.
