"Pearl told the call handler she knew what to do when her mum Carole collapsed 'because I knew the number and I just memorised it because I really love my mum, so I made sure I knew how to call it'."
"Paramedic Charlotte Aisbitt said: 'The girls were incredible - they saved their mum's life. When I arrived, it must have been so frightening for Pearl and Amelia, but they remained calm and really helped me.'"
"Carole was treated in hospital where doctors discovered she had suffered a life-threatening bleed on her brain. She has since made a good recovery and said she was 'extremely happy and proud'."
"Pearl calmly described how her mum had been foaming at the mouth and shaking, and clearly gave their address when asked, demonstrating remarkable composure for her age."
A six-year-old girl named Pearl called 999 when her mother, Carole, suffered a brain bleed. Pearl, along with her four-year-old sister Amelia, remained calm during the emergency. Pearl unlocked her mother's phone, provided details to the call handler, and followed instructions to check her mother's breathing. Paramedic Charlotte Aisbitt praised the girls for their bravery and composure. Carole received treatment for a life-threatening condition and has since recovered. The sisters were honored by the London Ambulance Service for their actions.
