Fortunately, her 5-year-old daughter Allison came to see what was happening. Many people would have panicked and would not have known what to do, but Allison had the best reaction possible.
When the 5-year-old girl saw that her mother was not moving, she pulled her to the edge of the pool and turned her head around. Allison then ran as fast as she could to get help.
The family was able to call the emergency services immediately. When the mother arrived at the hospital, the doctors discovered that if she had remained underwater for just a few more minutes she would have died. She owes her life to her daughter!
