GUTHRIE, Oklahoma (AP) -- A 3-year-old girl used a simple song her mom made up to teach her how to call 911 to summon help when mom fainted.
When the 24-year-old and 3-months-pregnant Jessica Eaves fainted, Madelyn used the song "911 Green" to dial for help on her mother's BlackBerry phone, punching in 911, then the green send button to place the call as she had been taught just a week before.
The girl was connected to a dispatcher. In recently released transcripts of her May 27 911 call, Madelyn was able to answer questions about her house and cars outside, leading emergency workers to the home.
This isn't the first time Madelyn has used a cell phone to call for help for her mother.
A year ago, Eaves first learned she had a condition that can cause frequent fainting and made up a simple song around the lyrics "green, green, green." When Eaves lost consciousness back then, Madelyn picked up a cell phone and pressed the green button, which called the last person Eaves had called and that person called for help.
So Eaves revised the words to "911 green, 911 green," referring to the color of the send button on most cell phones

She has always been so good with him, she knows when he is getting out of control and she talks to him, asks him why he is frustrated, and tells him to take a deep breath and calm down. She asks him all the time, "what's wrong, how can we fix it" and if she gets it on time it works. Anyway, long story short, the other day she was under the kitchen sink trying to fix something and was really flustered, well she looked up at her son and said "I'm sooo frustrated" he looked back at her right in the eyes, took a huge breath in and said "calm down mama" 22 mths old! Crazy.
