A mum's desperate Triple-0 call for help as her toddler had a heart attack in the back seat of her car has led to a change in police procedure.
Squad cars in Sydney's Hills Shire will now carry defibrillators after little Lily McGowan's incredible tale of survival thanks to her mum, Sam, and two officers.
When the two-year-old, who has a pre-existing heart condition became ill, Ms McGowan pulled over on Gilbert Road at Castle Hill and called Triple-0.
'I was just driving in the car and she's thrown up everywhere. And now, I think, I don't know if she's having a seizure or what,' she frantically told the emergency operator.
