Daisy Hamer, a four-year-old girl living in Walesby, Nottinghamshire, has been praised for her courage and quick thinking after she called 999 and helped her younger sister save their mum's life. It was the 23rd of May last year, and Aimee, Daisy and Molly's mum, had suddenly taken ill, so Daisy quickly got to work.
The youngster, who was watching videos on her mum's phone, answered the call handler's questions and followed their instructions, even performing CPR on her mum with the help of Molly, who was only two. Daisy was able to recall their postcode using the phonetic alphabet, and with the help of her and Molly, they were able to get Aimee breathing again.
Aimee has been living with a long-term heart condition, vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia, which can cause her to faint or become unconscious. In order to be prepared for a situation like this, Aimee taught her children how to call 999 and how to use the phonetic alphabet. She even turned it into a fun game, making a rhyme out of their postcode.
For her bravery, Daisy was awarded a bravery award from East Midlands Ambulance Services. The award was presented to her at her school by ambulance technician Jackie Spate, paramedic Phillip Rowe and solo response paramedic Jenny Paling. Phillip praised Daisy for her confidence in providing the postcode phonetically and for being able to recall her mum's medical conditions. Jenny added that it was an honour to present Daisy with her award.
Daisy's courage and quick-thinking has resulted in her mother being safe and well today, and has even inspired Daisy to become a paramedic or surgeon when she grows up.
