A Missouri mother has recently revealed that her daughter was without pulse and heartbeat for 12 minutes before she was miraculously revived.

According to People, Alise Nipper was removed from a pool on July 29 without a pulse during a pool party. Alise and few other kids were in the pool when the weather turned stormy. When her mother Jamie wanted to warn and ask Alise to come out of the pool, she found her daughter had gone under.

"All of the sudden, I look over and she wasn't there, where I last saw her," the mother said.

Jamie's friend, a trained nurse performed CPR before the 3-year-old came around.

"Something took over me. I remember jumping across the pool, coming up and shouting, 'Dial 911.' I was praying while I grabbed her that she would start coughing as if she'd just fallen in, but when I brought her up from the water, it was evident she was without life. She was blue," Jamie said.

"She all of the sudden had color and pink lips. Her heart started and she started breathing, it was strong, loud breaths," she added.

Alise had sustained lung, brain and heart injury but eventually began to recover after being put on ventilator support for six days.
