At the moment the toddler fell into the pool nobody was outside but then the girl’s uncle noticed that she was drowning and jumped in the pool to save her. After getting her out of the water he screamed for help and that’s when 15-year-old, Madison Adkins came and saved the day. “I saw that he was trying the Heimlich,” she recalled. “But I knew in that case you needed CPR because she didn’t seem like she was breathing. I told everyone I knew CPR and it calmed everyone down. Then they just laid her down on the ground and I started CPR.”
Madison, a high-school sophomore, is studying sports medicine and says she was certified for CPR at school.
Damian Gilbert says he is very proud of his stepdaughter. She was the only one in the house with CPR training and he finds it remarkable that she was able to take control and save a life.
