Paramedics soon arrived at their home in the Wainfleet area of Skegness to treat Lynette, who had suffered a non-epileptic seizure.

For her heroic actions on February 24, Evalyn has been awarded a bravery award by the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). The service has now shared audio of the moment Evalyn phoned 999 and was asked whether the patient was breathing.

In the emotional recording, a tearful Evalyn can be heard saying: "I don't know, it's my mummy."

When asked if her mum was awake, she replied: "No, she just fell. Because she had a migraine."

She then explained that she was eight years old and was there with her one year old sister. She added: "She [her mum] is now shaking a little bit.

"She said she had a really bad migraine and then she fell off the bed.

"I'm meant to go to school."

She further adds, "she's awake now" before pleading with Lynette: "Mummy, help is coming."

However, she continues to say: "I think she's fallen asleep again, she's not shaking this time."

The operator remains on the line until assistance arrives, then tells her: "I'll leave you with the paramedic, thank you. You've done fantastic."

Lynette, who suffers from non-epileptic seizure disorder, expressed immense pride in her daughter.

She revealed: "I don't remember much of that day, other than waking up with a headache and not feeling very well.

"I knelt on the floor and put my head on the bed, and the next thing I saw was a paramedic helping me.

"Hearing how Evalyn handled everything makes me so proud.

"She's grown up with my condition and usually relied on her older sister, Lily, but this time she stepped up on her own.

"She didn't see it as bravery - just helping her mum."

Evalyn's quick thinking ensured her mum received the necessary care, and her grandfather was alerted to collect the children while Lynette recuperated.

Lynette added: "It's always in the back of my mind - if I have a seizure in front of the girls, will they be okay? Evalyn showed me they will.

"She's taken on so much responsibility since her big sister left for uni, and she does it all with such grace."

Evalyn was also described by her mum as "studious, creative, and kind".

Lynette said: "She's always the first to offer help at Sunday school - whether it's putting chairs away or making tea for the elderly.

"I'm proud to have brought up such kind, caring daughters."

Call-handler Sam commented: "Evalyn did brilliantly on the phone.

"She stayed calm, answered all my questions clearly, and helped us get the right help to her mum as quickly as possible."

Specialist practitioner Katie Best, who attended the scene, remarked: "Evalyn was incredibly confident and provided key information about what happened to her mum in a clear manner, which assisted me in delivering care to Lynette.

"Evalyn told me her older sister, who now lives away studying at university, had taught her what to do if her mum had a seizure.

"She even offered to get herself and her little sister dressed, which I gently declined, but it was wonderful to see how eager she was to help."

Evalyn was presented with her EMAS Children's Bravery Award at school yesterday (Tue) by the ambulance team who responded to the call.
