An 11?month?old baby helped raise the alarm that her mother had fallen down unconscious by using a mobile phone.
Amelia Boyle，known as Millie，picked up the ringing mobile and answered the call when her mother Elizabeth,20，fainted in the hall of their home.
Linda Wright，Millie's grandmother，was on the other end of the line and heard the baby say “Who's that？”and “Mama”．
The girl is not allowed to play with the mobile so Mrs.Wright knew something was wrong with Millie's mother，who has a history of fainting and fitting，and dialed 999.Miss Boyle，whose phone it was，woke up in her home in Braintree，Essex，to find police and ambulance crews at her door.She became confused and told them she had not called them.A few minutes later three paramedics arrived and examined her.She did not need hospital treatment.Miss Boyle said，“I went upstairs to get Millie some clothes.I came downstairs again and I was going to get her dressed up as normal.”
“She was moving around playing with some toys when I suddenly fainted between the passage and the living room blocking the stairs.”
“My mum phoned me back on the home phone and when she didn't get through，she tried on the mobile，then the home phone again.”
She added，“I am so lucky to have Millie.”
“Millie does not seem to be disturbed by it.She must have watched me open the phone—she is not usually allowed to play with it because she tends to stick it in her mouth.”
“She is a very clever little girl.I was proud of her anyway but now she is even more special.”
Mrs.Wright said，“If Millie hadn't answered the phone，I wouldn't have known what had happened.”

A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn't talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was
never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were
shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.
After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to learn how to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live
independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but run.
When it came true,I wanted to get back in the pool again.After a few lung tests,I was able to go in the
pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary's
College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day to
the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I
remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me around in my
wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let
them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.
