One six-year-old daughter saves her dad with a Google search after he yells for help.
It was a regular weekday for Kyle Semrau, except his 6-year-old daughter, Macie, refused to go to school. Macie said that she missed her dad and wanted to stay home to spend time with him. It was also the one-year anniversary of her grandmother’s death, so Kyle and his wife agreed that she could stay home for the day.

That decision ended up saving Kyle’s life.
Kyle had come home from his night job and wasn’t feeling that great. He was having problems with his sinuses and lungs. So, he stayed home with Macie and his 4-year-old son named Caleb while his wife went to work. Later that day, things started to go south and Kyle was having trouble breathing. He was also losing consciousness.
When he realized what was happening, he yelled for help, and his daughter came to his rescue. Macie got her father’s phone, Googled the Eliot Police, and called the police department.
"I pressed this button and typed Eliot Police, and I hit call. I don’t want to say this, but I thought he was going to die," Macie shared.
Judy Smith with the Eliot Police Department picked up the phone and helped out Macie and Caleb while they waited for the police to arrive.
"Macie called the police and I was crying a lot, and then she (Judy) heard me crying on the phone and then she said it was OK," said 4-year-old Caleb.
Macie was able to give all the information that was needed like her address, her dad’s name and age, and she even instructed her little brother to put their dogs in a room upstairs out of the way until the police arrived.
Kyle is now recovering from the incident and is just so thankful for the help from his kids during the scary ordeal.
"Just incredible all around. I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the (police) response. It was quick," he said. "If I can say anything about this whole experience, it’s for everyone to teach kids about awareness. If I hadn’t taught my daughter certain things she wouldn’t learn in school, this outcome could have been completely different. She is, and will always be my hero."
