Two-year-old Jenavive calls her grandmother Ba-Ba and she calls 911 when Ba-Ba needs help.

The Bellevue youngster knew exactly what to do when Marie Hruby need live-saving attention. Her 911 lessons paid off earlier this week.

Marie has health problems and when she collapsed and went into a seizure, Jenavive went for the phone.

Rhonda Piernicky is the Sarpy County 911 operator who answered the call. Rhonda and all the Sarpy Country operators are trained how to handle calls from young people and they were able to get help dispatched.

Jenavive doesn't remember much about the 911 call. She's just happy she can still play with her grandmother.

At the time she made the call she was focused -- so focused that she didn't even bother to wake her uncle who was in the house sleeping.
