Jordynne who was trained by her mom what to do in case of any family emergency happened to call 911 and seek help as soon as possible. Jordynne did make the call to 911 to inform the operator that her home needed medical help as soon as possible since she felt ill the morning when she passed out on the floor. Thanks to Jordynne waiting being able to give out the directions where her mom was staying and waiting with the assistance of Deja's best friend to greet the medical team to take care of her mother who needed help from her illness. Deja was taken to a local hospital where she recovered from her health scare thanks to her teaching her child what to do in case of a medical emergency. In this case 911 was used to save a life instead of being a joke on officials over a petty issue like bad service at a fast food restaurant or seeing a plastic skeleton on a road. Deja has some excellent parenting skills that were useful to save her life.
