San Antonio (TAN): A Texas mother has thanked the crew and passengers of an American Airlines flight who helped save her 11-month old daughter who fell ill mid-flight earlier this week.
Janay Flowers was flying with her baby daughter Nevaeh from Tampa to Dallas when the child was suddenly detected with fever and a seizure.
With about ten minutes left until the aircraft could land in Dallas, both airline crew as well as the passengers rushed to help Janay and Nevaeh.

“I was traveling alone with Nevaeh and did not have a clue what to do but cry out for help. Two people immediately came to aid my baby and found that she was burning up,” Flowers wrote on her Facebook post.
“They took her onesie off and she was running a serious fever, her toes were blue, and she could barely breath. They called out for any doctors on the plane and about 3-4 additional people came running to help also,” she continued.
While some of them made sure emergency personnel were at the gate as soon as the flight landed, others gave the baby oxygen and tried to bring down her temperature.
“As soon as our plane landed, we all rushed to the front of the plane while they grabbed all of my belongings. One man carried my baby, one man kept thumping my baby’s foot to make her cry, I sang you are my sunshine and prayed like I be never prayed before. It seemed to last forever,” Flowers recalled.
Paramedics were prepared, and rushed the baby to the emergency room at Baylor Medical Center where her condition ultimately improved.
“My family and I are beyond grateful for all of the care and treatment given to our baby,” she added.
Flowers took to Facebook and Instagram to express her gratitude towards everyone who had helped her during her crisis.
“Nevaeh is doing well now, but on that flight, the scariest moment of my life unfolded before my eyes…. Words cannot explain how thankful I am for the love and support you all have shown to Nevaeh and I. It’s overwhelming…God worked through the angels who cared for Nevaeh,” Flowers said.
