Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to thank our moms for giving us life. But for one family, it was mom who was giving thanks to her little one.
Jovanna Nunez, 30, of Southern California collapsed to floor on Saturday and was unresponsive to her worried young daughter. With no other adults around, 6-year-old Madison decided to act fast. The smart little girl grabbed her mother’s phone and dialed her grandparents in Japan, who in turn helped dispatch emergency services.
"Madison contacted my parents telling them I was frozen," Nunez, told ABC News. She had gone into a diabetic coma and her fiancé was at work at the time it happened. "My eyes were wide open, I was unresponsive… My parents live in Japan and they were the ones who told her to call 911."
Paramedics arrived in time to revive Nunez, who was taken to the hospital where she was treated for low blood sugar but stabilized quickly. But there’s a second happy ending: Nunez learned that she was three months pregnant, making Madison the hero of two lives.
Adorable Madison described her Mother’s Day gift to her mom in the interview below. “I made a picture, a necklace, and I gave her a stuffed animal,” she says. However, you’d be hard-pressed to find an adult who wouldn’t say her greatest gift of all was saving her mother’s life.
