Little heroine: 10-year-old girl helped her mother, who went into labor prematurely
Miracle, 10 years old, was hailed as a hero after she bravely helped her pregnant mother give birth to her little sister at home. The edition told in more detail Daily Mail.
When 23-year-old Viola Fair of Jennings, Missouri went into labor three weeks premature on October 30, her daughter Miracle Moore was not at a loss. The fourth grader called 911 and spoke to dispatcher Scott Strangener.
“Hi, I think my mom is in labor,” she said.
Miracle opened the front door for rescuers and talked on the phone with Stranghaener for almost 11 minutes while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
She calmly followed his instructions and explained to her mother that she needed to lie on her back in the center of the bed or on the floor.
Strangener advised the little girl to take towels or blankets and place them under her mother's body.

In the distance, Faire was heard screaming in pain as Miracle comforted her and followed the controller's orders.
"It's all right, mom, it's all right! - Miracle said to her mother, and then turned to Strangener: - I think her water broke ... "
"She's in labor," the baby screamed, firmly insisting that her mother should lie down. - She's here! She sticks out."
Miracle was initially stunned when Strangener told her that he would help her deliver the baby over the phone.
"What?" The girl was surprised, but remained calm.
"She went out! Miracle exclaimed. She is breathing and crying now.
Strangener advised her to gently wipe the newborn's mouth and nose.
“Be very careful,” he said. "Don't drop the baby."
Miracle ensured that the umbilical cord did not wrap around her little sister's neck, then wrapped it in a clean towel and covered it as instructed by the dispatcher.
When the first rescuers arrived, the girl directed them to her mother's room.
“You did a very good job,” Strangener told her.

Speaking to the media, Strangener shared how impressed Miracle is.
“I realized pretty quickly that we had a serious situation,” he said. “There is a set of protocols that we follow and she followed all my instructions, did an amazing job.”
Fair, who named her baby girl Jayla, spoke of how proud she is of her eldest daughter, a miracle that helped create another miracle.
“It was definitely a miracle. I couldn’t really take the newborn and lift it up, and then Miracle came and wrapped her in a towel, the woman in labor recalled. The older daughter wiped it off and rubbed her back a little so that the younger sister could cry. She really helped. I am very thankful".
Miracle received two awards for her actions that day, and she is already considering a future career in the medical field. But at the moment, the girl is happy to be just an older sister for her younger brother Taylor and sister Jayla.
“The baby is very cute. Sometimes she cries and I have to hold her in my arms,” Miracle said of her newborn sister.
