Girl with cerebral palsy hailed as hero for saving baby brother from drowning
Certain disorders can restrict mental as well as physical abilities of people and living with them can be even more difficult for children. But some individuals defy all limitations and surprise the world with extraordinary feats.
Lexie Comeau-Drisdelle from Canada is getting a lot of appreciation for saving her baby brother’s life despite having cerebral palsy. The girl who uses a wheelchair and can’t talk shouted and pointed to get her mother’s attention when her 18-month old brother fell in the pool.
Heroes come in all sizes. It was a real pleasure to recognize young Lexi for alerting her mom when her toddler brother made a dash for the pool. @TonyMancini_NS pic.twitter.com/EFaIbBo3Wv
