"Today is our #MIRACLEANNIVERSARY 🕊️ Every year that passes and I watch my daughter grow up, the more I realize how very blessed we are, and never want to take that for granted," she said.

"Again, thank you to all the healthcare professionals who made the life saving decisions, and thank you to each and every person who prayed for our baby girl. Thinking of Father Mark today, although he is in heaven now, he was always like an angel on earth for us, especially on this day 7 years ago🤍🤍."

It was in 2017 that Maddie almost drowned when the ATV she was travelling in became submerged in a pond while she was strapped in it.

In her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, Lynn Spears recalled: "The first responder got in the water just as the ATV was dragged from the pond."

"He lifted Maddie out and laid her down next to me. She was unconscious, her body distended, face swollen and eerily blue."
