Daisy Hamer was honored this week for saving her mother’s life by performing CPR when she was just 4.
According to the New York Post, SWNS reported that the now 5-year-old Daisy received an award from the East Midlands Ambulance Service.
It was presented during a ceremony at her school where paramedic Phillip Rowe said, “To have a child caller that young and that confident is quite rare, especially when it comes to being able to provide the postcode of their address phonetically.”
“Daisy did amazing in being able to help us locate the property, and then being able to tell us when we arrived about the medical conditions lives with,” he added about the British girl.
“We administered oxygen to Aimee when we arrived on scene, which managed to get her rousable, and then we provided further treatment on the way to hospital,” he concluded.
The incident occurred in May of 2022 when Hamer laid down with her children because she wasn’t feeling well.
Young Daisy called for help on her mother’s cell phone, which they had been watching videos on.
She said, “My mummy has fainted.”
When asked questions about her mother’s condition, Daisy stated, “She’s not talking to me.”
The operator talked her through the situation, but when Daisy said, “My mummy’s not breathing,” she was instructed on how to administer CPR.
Daisy said she was doing as she was told and then noted, “Mummy has woken up.”
Hamer has a chronic heart condition as well as a vitamin and iron deficiency. She noted this led her to teach her daughters about calling for help just in case.
That preparation helped Daisy and her sister save her life, and now Daisy has told her mom that she wants to be a paramedic or a surgeon when she grows up.
