unfortunately as he was going to answer his phone it had died (he didn't hear the first call because he was around loud equipment). about 2 minutes later (but it seemed like forever) she responded back: I got ahold of Saratoga County EMS and they are sending an ambulance and now I will try and get ahold of dad". I said yes, I fell, I can't get up and my phone and then call dad". She said "do you need me to contact 911?". OMG she responded at that time (she has it linked to her phone and she was in her grocery store and got a notification about the Alexa. I then activated Alexa again and said "Heather, I fell, I need help, and I need you to call dad". 4 minutes went by and there was no response, so I decided to give it a try again. so I waited to see if there was a response from my daughter. at that time I yelled "Heather, I fell and I need help. I waited for it to respond to say my announcement. I scooched and pulled myself a little further and then I remembered about my Echo device with Alexa. I scooched and dragged myself into my living room and was going to see if I could get to my phone or yell for help again cause our porch door was opened and kids were walking home from school so if I yelled again I hoped someone would send me help. I was not able to get up because of my leg issues and I was not able to get up on my knees due to medical issues with them too. I called for help from downstairs not knowing if anyone was home. I didn't know what time it was and how long I would have had to lay there on the floor til my husband got home, and that was if he didn't have to work late. unforturnately I had lost my footing and my knees gave out and I fell on the floor. I have been having mobility issues so I was attempting to bring my coffee cup (with some coffee in it) to my kitchen sink. Her husband had purchased, set up, and linked my device to their's so I would be able to access there home. I just wanted to tell my story about how Alexa helped me access medical assistance from my daughter who lives 4 1/2 hours away.
