On Dec. 25, the mom of two shared a carousel of photos on her\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0as she rounded up her Christmas spent with daughters Maddie and Ivey, 7, as well as her sister\u00a0Britney Spears’<\/a>\u00a0older son\u00a0Sean Preston<\/a>, 20.<\/p>\n In the carousel, Jamie Lynn included a snap of her older daughter Maddie’s Christmas present: a red ATV with a big bow on top. Underneath the bow, Maddie’s name was written in gold glittery letters. The mom of two also included a picture of Maddie and Ivey sitting on the ATV and smiling together.<\/p>\n “Merry CHRISTMAS \u271d\ufe0f\ud83e\udd36\ud83c\udffb\ud83c\udf80\ud83c\udf84\ud83c\udf81,” Jamie Lynn wrote in her caption.<\/p>\n In 2017, Maddie got into a\u00a0traumatic ATV accident<\/a>\u00a0that left her in a coma. While on the U.K. reality TV show\u00a0I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out Of Here<\/a>\u00a0in 2023, Jamie Lynn\u00a0spoke about the scary incident<\/a>.<\/p>\n Recalling what happened to her castmates, Jamie Lynn said, “I almost lost my oldest daughter … She drowned and we couldn\u2019t save her.”<\/p>\n “We tried really hard. She was trapped under a little side-by-side that we ride around our pond,” she recalled, explaining that the teen was “8 or 9” at the time.<\/p>\n “My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, me and my husband, we run to jump in to save her and you kind of \u2014 in that moment you think, ‘This is not real. She\u2019s going to pop up, this isn\u2019t real,” she continued.<\/p>\n “I could feel her arm, and I\u2019m jerking it, I couldn\u2019t get her up because it\u2019s a\u00a0pretty heavy machine<\/a>. In that moment you think, you know logically she\u2019s been underwater too long.”<\/p>\n Jamie Lynn recalled sitting there distraught and covered in vomit as she heard her mother-in-law call her own mom, and say, “‘Lynne, we’ve lost Maddie.'”<\/p>\n Moments later, a firefighter let Jamie Lynn know that Maddie did have a pulse. “They airlifted her. She\u2019s hooked up on life support, breathing machines and all that\u2026 they come in, [bring] a\u00a0priest to read her her last rites<\/a>, and when they did, her body physically sat up,” said the mom of two, who shares Maddie with ex Casey Aldridge and daughter Ivey, with husband Jamie Watson.<\/p>\n Read the original article on People<\/a><\/p>\n
