An 'amazing' young girl has received an award from East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) for bravery after coming to her dad's rescue when he suffered an epileptic seizure. Twelve-year-old Lily-Alice Foster, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, discovered her dad, 34-year-old Lawrance, unconscious and fitting on the sofa at her grandparent’s house at 4.15pm on December 9 last year.
Despite being the only other person in the house and faced with a distressing situation, Lily-Alice remained calm, putting her dad in the recovery position and quickly calling 999. "I remember he went on the sofa, he had a pillow over his face and he fell, so I dialled 999 and told them what was happening," she recalled.
"I didn't really know what was happening." Lily's emergency call was answered by call taker Christopher Turk, who helped her look after Lawrance before an ambulance crew arrived.
