Toddler hailed as a hero for making life-saving call using mum’s mobile

A quick-thinking pre-schooler has been hailed a hero for making a lifesaving phone call when his diabetic mum collapsed at their home in Warwickshire.

Three-year-old Aaron Green had never used a phone in his life, but picked up his mum's mobile when he was unable to wake her from a diabetes-related collapse, and phoned his great gran for help.

Cally experienced a hypoglycemic attack (caused by dangerously low bloody sugar levels) after working a Saturday night shift behind the bar at local pub The Royal Oak.

Little Aaron found his mum lying on the floor of her bedroom the next morning and was unable to wake her. But unphased, the smart tot not only worked out how to use his mum's mobile, he even managed to call the right person to help.

The quick-thinking tot reached for his mum’s Blackberry, which was sitting on her bed and flicked through the mobile’s address book, found his great gran and called her 

Aaron said: “Mummy’s sick. She’s very ill. Please come and help her.”

His great gran immediately called Cally’s best friend, Kara McCoy who lives on the same street in Coventry.

Kara ran to Cally’s house and dialled for the emergency services.

Six paramedics spent over two hours trying to revive Cally before she was taken to University Hospital Coventry. She spent five days in an induced coma and woke up with no memory of what had happened.

Cally explained how she would probably have died if it hadn't been for Aaron's actions.

She said: “If it wasn't for Aaron I wouldn't be here now a million per cent.

"I'm always nattering away on the phone so he must have seen me do that enough times and copied me. 

“I don't know how he did it. He managed to unlock my mobile phone, go to the address book and go straight to my nan, who brought me up, of all people.

“The doctors said I was lucky to be alive. It feels like I must have been watched over by a guardian angel who was guiding him through what to do.

“I owe him everything - he deserves the world. I want everyone to know what a Superman he is.”

Aaron, who has just started learning the alphabet, has been presented with a bravery badge from his nursery in recognition for his heroic efforts.
