Overview

• On June 27 the Apostolopoulos twins, 9, spotted a 4-year-old girl motionless at the bottom of their grandmother’s pool and sprang into action within seconds of noticing her distress.
• Addison fetched goggles to improve underwater vision while Ava dove in to pull the unresponsive child to the surface, reflecting the family lesson ‘if you see something, do something.’
• Maintenance worker Cody Boyette began rescue breathing after they brought the girl up, successfully restoring her breathing before emergency responders arrived.
• The rescued girl was hospitalized but is now recovering, according to statements from the Wixom Police Department.
• At a July 22 City Council meeting, Chief Phil Langmeyer presented the Civilian Citation Award to the twins and Boyette, praising their decisive intervention and lifesaving preparedness.
