Quick thinking on the part of a two-year-old toddler possibly saved her mom's life when she suffered a near-fatal allergic reaction and fell unconscious. When 24-year-old Jasmine Pounsberry, of Kingsteignton, Devon, had an allergic reaction to codeine, which she had been taking to treat an ear infection, her daughter Esmé Hawkins used FaceTime to call her mom's best friend.
According to the Daily Mail, when 23-year-old Jess Decént received the call, the two-year-old told her about Pounsberry's predicament, saying, "Mummy was sleeping and hurt her head." During the phone call, which lasted seven minutes, Decént calmly instructed Esmé to keep an eye on her mother while she phoned for an ambulance.
