She told how Maddie was riding an ATV when she drove into a pond.
Jamie Lynn emotionally opened up to her campmates, saying "we couldn't save her".
She said: “I almost lost my oldest daughter… she drowned and we couldn’t save her. We tried really hard.
"She was trapped under a little side-by-side that we ride around our pond. This is in 2017. She was 8 or 9 or something like that.

"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, me and my husband, we run to jump in to save her and you kind of in that moment you think, this is not real, she’s going to pop up, this isn’t real.
"I could feel her arm, and I’m jerking it, I couldn’t get her up because it’s a pretty heavy machine. In that moment you think, you know logically she’s been under water too long… nobody can live if they’ve been under water this long. You logically are thinking these things."
She went on: “Then you hear the sirens coming.
"Thank god my mother-in-law, first thing she did was call 911… she was caught in the safety netting. So when they got there, she was not alive. They took her from me and they incubated her.

“I was sitting on the rocks, I’d thrown up on myself, the adrenalin.
"Then I heard her [my mother-in-law] call my mum and say, ‘Lynne, we’ve lost Maddie.’
"Then the fire fighter came over three seconds later and was like, ‘We’ve got a pulse, we’ve got a pulse.’"
Jamie said her daughter was taken by air ambulace to hospital and was on a ventilator.
"They airlifted her… she’s hooked up on life support, breathing machines and all that…" she said.
"They come in, a priest to read her her last rights, and when they did, her body physically sat up, her spirit responded to it for whatever reason…
"She got better and better every day and walked out of the hospital."
Jamie said it was a miracle her daughter survived, adding: "This has no repercussions. So that’s when I became Catholic.
"For about five minutes I thought I’d lost my daughter and then I was given the miracle of having her back."
