The Semrau family wonders if this was just a coincidence or if fate destined the little girl to be at home during the emergency.Macie Semrau is a grade-schooler at Eliot Elementary School who decided not to attend her classes for just a day!

On April 12th, Macie said she didn’t feel like going to school that day and would like to stay at home because she missed her dad.That morning Macie’s father, Kyle Semrau, had just gotten home from his overnight shift and said he was feeling light-headed so he decided to stay in with his kids as well.

Kyle was in the basement with his four-year-old son when he collapsed and went in and out of consciousness later that day. Macie heard him and went down to assist her father. She calmly carried out her father’s instructions, retrieving his phone and entering the basement.

When Kyle became aware, he blurted out his phone’s passcode. Macie launched a browser and entered “Eliot.poliz.” The Eliot Police Department’s webpage appeared in the Google search result, and the little girl quickly dialed 911.

Within two minutes, the police and the medical team arrived and took Kyle to the hospital. It took a few days for Macie to return to school and be away from her father once more. She felt her father needed her after the incident and didn’t want to leave his side. In the video below, you can see how Macie’s decision to skip school for a day saved her father’s life.
