Zoey Reddick, the young girl, dialed 911 in May when her mother suddenly passed out, and she calmly communicated the situation to the dispatcher. The incident occurred just after dinner, as the mother and daughter had finished selecting a movie to watch together. That was the last memory Jessica Reddick had of that evening in May. Jessica had collapsed due to seizure-like symptoms, and the next thing she knew, paramedics were surrounding her.
