'My 6-year-old daughter saved my life during severe asthma attack that left me close to death and gasping for air'
A six-year-old girl saved her mum's life by dialling 999 when she suffered a severe asthma attack that could have been fatal. Cali-Maii Ball, from Hornchurch in east London, woke up in the middle of the night to sounds of mum Lauren desperately gasping for air. She immediately picked up her mum’s phone and called 999. “I think my mum is having an asthma attack”, she told London Ambulance Service call handler Laura Lehmer. “Mummy is really struggling to breathe.” Cali-Maii promptly gave the 999 call handler her exact address and unlocked the door to let the crews in. London Ambulance Service medics arrived in just four minutes and immediately started treating Lauren, 25, who was losing consciousness.
