Hannibal, Missouri (WGEM) – Two children took quick action Monday morning when their mother had a seizure.

When police arrived at the scene they were surprised to find that the children are both legally blind.

Mitchell, 6, and Cora, 7, called 911 after their mother, Laura Copeland, became unresponsive.

“My little heroes,” Laura Copeland said. “I woke up to not breathing, not remembering anything. My kids were in my face.”

The two kids also performed CPR on their mom.

Laiken James with Marion/Lewis County dispatch took the 911 call.

“It just caught me by surprise how well she did, and how much she knew,” James said.

James says it was the first call in her two years where a child was on the other end of the call. She tried to keep them calm, and breakdown exactly what happened to their mom.

“I have two daughters, so I just kind of talked to them how I would talk to my own,” James said.

Laura Copeland isn’t surprised by her fast-acting kids. They’ve had an emergency plan in place for years, but they haven’t had to use it until now.

“You need to call this, this and this,” Copeland demonstrated, talking about their plan. “You need to do this, and call 911. They did everything they were taught.”

Copeland hopes this is a lesson for all families. It’s never too young to teach your kids what to do in an emergency.

“Talk about stuff that can happen because all of a sudden something can happen,” she said.
