Most of us have accomplished very little at eight, but a little girl in Colorado is being a praised as a hero at that young age, and rightly so!
The Centennial girl likely saved her dad’s life when he experienced a medical emergency.
Earlier this month, Adriana Wailes used Siri to call 911 after her father, John, who has brain cancer, became unresponsive following a seizure. The young girl remained calm while speaking with dispatchers, providing her address and critical details.
Emergency responders arrived quickly and transported her father to the hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Adriana says she learned emergency response steps from her mother, who wasn’t home at the time of the incident.
