Leenah Ali, 7, meets paramedics who revived her after she nearly drowned

Listen to the dramatic triple-O call after a little girl was pulled lifeless from a pool at a friend’s birthday party, before parents and paramedics joined forces to save her life.

A little girl who was found floating at the bottom of a pool was “miraculously” brought back to life after heroic bystanders and paramedics performed CPR on her lifeless body for more than 15 minutes.

Jamboree State School student Leenah Ali, 7, was at her best friend Evie’s house for a birthday pool party when in a “split second” she quietly and silently sank to the floor of the pool.

A parent who had been keeping a watchful eye over the kids dived in and pulled Leenah’s lifeless body out of the water, while other parents immediately called Triple-0 and started CPR.

For seven terrifying minutes, parents at the party worked to resuscitate Leenah until critical care paramedics arrived.

After “seven to 10 minutes” Leenah’s heart restarted – a miracle given doctors later said she would have a one per cent chance of survival.

Six weeks after the near tragedy at Westlake, a smiling, giggling Leenah met with the nine paramedics and parents who helped her beat the odds.

Her parents Aysha Daud and Ali Azhar said they were grateful “the right people had been there at the right time”.

“Each and every one had a hand in saving her life and I just can’t thank them enough,” Ms Daud said.

“Whenever I look at her, I just thank god. I just thank god she’s back with me … and I thank god that she was in good hands.”

One of the parents who was at the birthday party and performed CPR on Leenah, was Moggill mum Jaime Martin.

The 44-year-old said she had learned CPR through her job as a teacher – but never thought she would need to use it in such a dire situation.

“I didn’t really have a chance to think about it, it was just no pulse, start compressions,” she said.

“Never in a million years did I think I would have to use (CPR) but I’m so thankful that I knew what to do.”

Leenah has since returned to school.

Critical care paramedic Hannah Gaulke, who was also at the scene that day, said the rapid response by those at the pool had made a huge difference and likely saved Leenah’s life.

“We were so fortunate that someone was willing to step up and do bystander CPR on this little girl,” Ms Gaulke said.

“Because to be honest if that hadn’t happened, if she hadn’t stepped in, what we did after that wouldn’t have mattered.

“The statistics show that without bystander CPR what we did wouldn’t have led to a good outcome.”
