“I’ve not been so well for a couple of months, then came down with a bug on Sunday, which didn’t help.

When I got up on Monday, I didn’t feel well at all and knew something was going to happen. I kept asking Owen ‘have you got mummy’s phone?’ ‘Mummy doesn’t feel very well’, as I felt myself getting worse.

The next thing I knew I was waking up in hospital. Apparently I had collapsed and Owen, just in his underpants went running across to my neighbour saying his mummy needs an ambulance.

It was she who called for help. Owen was so brave and didn’t cry or panic.

But the fact that he knew what to do is amazing and I have never explained what to do in those situations. It’s scary enough for me in that situation, let alone a little boy. I’m just so proud of him.”

Deborah’s blood sugar and blood pressure had been extremely low and her body had gone into shock.

She’s expected to recover enough to attend a Mother’s Day school project.
