When a 6-year-old girl refused to get dressed for kindergarten, begging to stay home with her dad, her mother decided to let her skip school. They had no idea that hours later, she would find her father’s collapsed body in the basement.

Macie Semrau, a 6-year-old kindergartener from Eliot, Maine, rarely missed school. So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4-year-old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father’s collapsed body in the basement a few hours later…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

As luck would have it, Macie’s refusal to go to school was a godsend when Kyle experienced a sudden medical emergency that caused him to collapse in the basement. After returning from his overnight shift, Kyle was feeling light-headed. In fact, he felt so poorly that he told his wife Kate that he would be laying low for the day with their children. However, he eventually made his way to the basement, where he would collapse. Macie was alerted to her father’s condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to investigate.

Macie found her 37-year-old father drifting in and out of consciousness. She had him recite his phone’s passcode so she could unlock the device when he temporarily regained consciousness before fading back to black. After successfully opening his phone, she opened the Safari browser, searched for the local police department’s phone number, called the business line, and relayed pertinent information to Judy Smith, the department’s administrative assistant and a former dispatcher with Sanford’s police agency, Sea Coast Online reported.

Smith was floored by Macie’s decision-making and her ability to stay calm. The little girl listed the family’s Goodwin Road address while explaining that her father was in trouble. “She was like, ‘She knew everything. She was amazing,’” Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya recalled Smith telling him about the 6-year-old girl. “Macie potentially saved a life,” Moya added. Meanwhile, Caleb consoled his father.

“Macie called the police, and I was crying a lot, and then she [Judy Smith] heard me crying on the phone, and then she said it was OK,” 4-year-old Caleb recalled. He also recounted how he and his sister closed the basement door so the family dogs wouldn’t rush down, then opened the doors when police arrived. Although the exact cause of the medical emergency wasn’t disclosed, Kyle Semrau explained that the incident involved issues with his sinuses, which led to difficulty breathing and remaining conscious.

Thanks to Macie, he was transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he required four liters of oxygen and spent three days recuperating. After being treated at the hospital, Kyle opened his phone. There, he saw that his browser history contained a misspelling of the search phrase “Eliot police,” he said.

“Just incredible all around. I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the (police) response,” a grateful Kyle said. “It was quick,” he added, referring to police arriving in two minutes, thanks to Macie’s call. “It was incredible. I was in tears myself,” he added, referring to the extent of his daughter’s actions and son’s assistance.

Kyle isn’t the only one who was singing Macie’s praises. The Eliot Police Department also credited the young girl for her swift thinking and keen awareness. What seemed like “divine intervention” also didn’t go unnoticed. “It sounds like the moon and the stars aligned,” Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya said while also praising the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings as well as typing and communication skills. “It just sounds like that’s what you’re doing is teaching awareness all around,” Moya told Kyle. “That’s amazing and clearly it’s working.”

Speaking of possible divine intervention and whether it played a part in the way things unfolded, the Semraus revealed that the incident occurred on the one-year anniversary of the death of Kate’s grandmother. “[Macie] just happened to be home. The whole thing, the whole incident, is just incredible,” Kyle admitted.

Whether you believe it was just luck, fate, or divine intervention, it was incredible indeed, and Macie is a hero — as are her parents for raising a child who knew what to do when things went terribly wrong.

All of the Semrau family deserves some praise for a job well done. As for the rest of us, this is a perfect reminder that we need to make sure our children know what to do and can get help if needed. Can your child open your phone and call the police? If not, now’s the time for them to learn.

Sexuality can be exciting and also embarrassing for teens. Even when they are curious to learn all there is to know about the subject, few really want to sit down and have this awkward conversation with their parents.

Girls have a greater concern about their period. Girls don’t want to be the first or last to receive it. And when they do, they’re usually scared that the bleeding will seep into their clothes, which will lead to everyone knowing that this time of the month has come…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Unfortunately, for one young girl, this is exactly what happened. While on her way home on the bus from school, a red stain appeared on her pants. Unfortunately, she was not the only one who noticed it.

Several children on the bus saw the stain and the young girl got extremely embarrassed.

As we all know, children and teenagers can be cruel and vicious in such situations, so when an older boy on the bus suddenly approached her, the girl was prepared for a joke or a disgusting remark.

But instead of laughing at her, he said something that led the girl’s mother to share the story on social media.

The boy saw what had happened and decided to approach the girl. But he was not there to embarrass her any further – quite the contrary. He offered her his shirt so she could tie it around her waist. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The girl’s mother praised the boy

The girl’s mother praised not only the boy for his wonderful gesture, but also his mother for raising and educating her son to be such a good person.

We hear a lot of negative stories about teens today so hearing something so positive is really wonderful.

After the mother posted

We can only agree. We think few teens would dare approach someone who was sitting and feeling embarrassed while others laughed and did nothing.

Feel free to share this story with your Facebook friends to make a tribute to this boy for the wonderful thing he did. There is no doubt that he will be even more of a gentleman as he grows and matures!

Man Whispers To His Comatose Wife, But She Could Hear Every Word

Published

After being found unconscious in her home, a woman fell into a coma. As the plug was pulled on her life support, her husband leaned down and whispered the truth in her ear. Little did he know, she could hear every word and was about to fight back.

Lyndee Brown Pellettiere-Swapp was only 45 years old when her son Steven found her unconscious in their Arizona home. He immediately called 911, and Lyndee was rushed to Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center. For five days, Lyndee suffered seizures and eventually fell into a coma, where she remained for 12 days, according to Mirror…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Lyndee’s husband Steve, daughter Amanda, and son Steven hoped for a miracle, but doctors said there was nothing more they could do and recommended taking Lyndee off life support. The tough decision was made to pull the plug, honoring what the family thought was Lyndee’s wishes. “My family knows I am an avid organ donor so when my organs started to fail, they made the decision — it was time to make that decision,” Lyndee would later explain.

As Lyndee’s family came to say their goodbyes, little did her family know, Lyndee heard every word. “I remember people talking to me,” Lyndee recalled. “I remember when people came to visit, my niece reading to me.” She also remembered the doctors talking about her impending demise, telling the family what to expect as she inevitably passed away.

“[Doctors] told [my family] that I would start to make noises when they turned off life support. It was very agitating. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk, couldn’t respond. I could just hear conversations around me and about me,” Lyndee said. “I remember a doctor opening my eyes, messing with me, and telling my family I was not reacting.”

Lyndee knew she had to speak up in order to save her own life, but she tried and failed. “In my head, it was very clear what I was saying, but it wasn’t to them,” she explained. Then, she found all the motivation she needed in the words her husband leaned down and whispered in her ear, thinking she was about to leave this life.

“They removed all tubes as he requested,” she recalled, adding that a doctor was waiting to “pronounce her dead” while an organ donation team was on standby, ready to take her organs. But, her husband Steve wasn’t ready for his wife to leave him. In a whisper, Steve pleaded with Lyndee, reminding her of a reality she was about to make everyone else aware of.

After 12 days in a coma, Lyndee woke up, uttering three words that surprised her entire family. “I’m a fighter,” she managed to respond after Steve had spoken that very truth in her ear. “I was finally able to get out ‘I’m a fighter,’ which is what my husband was whispering in my ear,” Lyndee said, recalling the moment she woke up from her coma after being taken off life support, according to Daily Mail. “[He kept saying] ‘I need you to fight.’” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Stunned, Steve quickly went to get the doctor. “My husband said, ‘She is doing everything you said she wouldn’t do,’” Lyndee recalled. Indeed, against all odds and medical predictions, Lyndee was back, awake, and responding, AZ Family reported. But, not realizing what was happening, Amanda came to the hospital, thinking her mother was gone.

“I looked at her, and she just says, ‘Hi,’ and I just fell to my knees,” Amanda recalled tearfully, describing how she melted down after receiving the shock of her life. Lyndee eventually left the hospital, but she wasn’t out of the woods. Despite her amazing recovery, she suffered a number of health problems and complications.

Lyndee even had to learn to walk and feed herself again. “They released me with home healthcare to continue learning everything,” she said. She also required numerous follow-up surgeries and hospitalizations, and she suffered PTSD from the experience.

Almost two years later, Lyndee Brown Pellettiere-Swapp still had “no answers” as to why she first fell unconscious or how she made such a recovery. But, there was one thing she was certain of that she needed others to know too. “Just because you are not conscious does not mean you cannot hear,” she said. “So you should talk to your loved ones if you are in that situation. They hear you.”

The experience also left her family with an important message for others too. “Everything can be taken away. You can wake up one day and everything is fine, and then your life is a mess,” Lyndee’s son Steven said. “Keep your family close and don’t let them go,” he added.

“I don’t take for granted that I get to come home and kiss my mom,” Steven continued. “Every day I come home from work, seeing her and talking to her.” Go hug your loved ones, and remind others to do the same because you never know when it could be your last chance.
