Thankfully, a firefighter was able to get a pulse before the young girl was airlifted to the hospital. However, things looked grim at the hospital when Maddie wasn't responding to anything. Spears recalled asking for a priest to pray for her little girl. "He went to put the oil on her and read the rites and she sat up and started kicking, and her hands started grabbing at all the things," Spears said. "That was our first sign that she was there."
The Zoey 101 alum revealed everything changed in that moment and Maddie has since made a full recovery. "I faced my worst fear," she said. "What else can I mess up, do wrong that's gonna be as horrible as that?"
Spears, who has 2-year-old daughter Ivey Joan with husband Jamie Watson, admitted she no longer takes anything for granted. "God gave me the blessing of giving me my daughter back," she said. "I've been given the biggest blessing that I can be given. ...I'm not allowed to waste a day on this Earth complaining or being ungrateful."
