Five-year-old Poppy Davies bravely left her home in Pontllanfraith, near Blackwood in South Wales dressed in a princess outfit and wellies, to seek help from her school when she couldn't wake her mum. She calmly told one of her teachers: "Mummy's on the floor and I can't wake her up."
On that fateful night, her husband Ryan was working a night shift, leaving just Leisha and Poppy at home. Two of Poppy's teachers attended the house and found Leisha on the floor, before putting her in the recovery position and calling an ambulance. Poppy was dressed into her uniform and taken to school as paramedics fought to save her mother's life. An air ambulance landed on the school grounds but Leisha required equipment to keep her alive which would not have fitted in the aircraft.
She was rushed off to Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran where they determined she was in septic shock and surviving on just 15% function of one lung. After experiencing two cardiac arrests, Leisha was put into an induced coma. She has expressed her gratitude to Poppy for saving her life, as well as to the staff at the Grange who cared for her.
