Jamie Lynn Spears is looking back on the terrifying day she thought she had lost her daughter Maddie in an ATV accident, and the "miracle" that she survived.
The Sweet Magnoliasactress, 35, reflected on the near-fatal accident her now-18-year-old daughter suffered in 2017 during an interview with PEOPLE published on Wednesday, June 17, revealing that a priest was even called to administer Maddie's last rites before she made an incredible recovery.
"That was the day I thought I'd lost my daughter," said Spears, who noted that "against all odds," her daughter "fought" to be here today.
It seemed like a normal day on the Louisiana property of Spears and her husband, Jamie Watson, when 8-year-old Maddie took a turn on her ATV and ended up underwater in a pond.
"We were watching her, and we still don't quite know if she was dodging a dog or what it was," Spears recalled. "She went in the water and me, my father-in-law and my husband [Watson] ran as fast as we could to go jump in to get her out, but she was stuck under the ATV."
Paramedics were called to free Maddie from under the ATV, but when they managed to pull her out of the water, Spears said it was "really not a sight anybody wants to see."
"At that point, she was not breathing," she recalled. "We thought that she had passed."
Maddie was airlifted to a hospital, where she remained in a coma for two days until a priest was called to her bedside to administer her last rites.
“He comes in, and she physically sits up in all her restraints and tubes,” the Zoey 101 alum shared. “I'm screaming for the doctors, like ‘Come in here now!' Even the priest was like, 'I've never seen anything like what's happening.' I knew she was in there and felt all of us praying. We were given a miracle, and I don't take it for granted."
Almost a decade later, Maddie told the outlet that she didn't remember the accident, but that her family's faith got "a lot stronger" through her recovery. "In the end, I think such a negative experience affected us positively," she said.
