A 4-year-old from Kalamazoo, Michigan sprang into action last week when her mother was having a seizure, dialing 911, and saving her life.
Since Centerria Manning suffers from epilepsy, the toddler had practiced the scenario with her parent several times. Last Wednesday, Manning fell to the floor, leaving little Calise to pick up the phone and call 911.
According to CNN:
“She’s shaking and she’s having a baby,” Calise tells a dispatcher in 911 audio obtained by CNN affiliate WWMT. “My mom is really pregnant and she’s having a boy and she really needs help.”
“I was so proud of her, because we practiced and I teach her because I am epileptic,” Manning said. “I (taught) her the address and my full name and things like that, and how to dial 911.” Her fiancée was at work at the time.
Centerria was taken to the hospital and the family received a bigger gift on Friday–the birth of Calise’s baby brother.
Wearing an “I’m the Big Sister” T-shirt, Calise told the WWMT reporter at the hospital, “It was really good to ride in the ambulance with mom.”
Congrats on the new addition and kudos to Calise for saving the day.
