6-year-old in Mississippi praised for quick thinking and courage in saving their mom from a stroke.

Bryanna Cook, a 6-year-old girl from Mississippi, is being celebrated for her incredible bravery and quick-thinking. On October 23rd, Bryanna's mother, Yolanda, suffered a stroke while driving. Bryanna managed to stop the car in the woods and called her grandmother for help. Her grandmother then instructed her to call 911.

Bryanna then spoke with Latonya Malone, a dispatcher from Lowndes County. For two hours, Malone guided Bryanna through the process of identifying their location and assessing her mother's well-being. Bryanna opened the car doors to let fresh air in and attempted to wake her mother up. In the meantime, her grandmother provided Malone with information to help locate them.

When first responders arrived, Yolanda was taken to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. Bryanna stayed with her mother until she was released a week later.

At a ceremony to honor Bryanna's heroic actions, she met with Malone for the first time in person. Her principal, Monte Ewing-Johnson, shared a speech praising her kindness, compassion, and patience. Bryanna was also recognized with a resolution from the Lowndes County Supervisors.

Bryanna's story is inspiring and reminds us of the potential of children to be courageous and resourceful in the face of danger.
