Britney’s family were left fearing Maddie had suffered brain damage after she almost drowned when the vehicle she was travelling in plunged into a pond.

The little girl was pulled to safety by Jamie Lynn and her partner Jamie Watson and rushed to hospital.

Maddie made a miraculous recovery however and just days after being hospitalised, she was taken off a ventilator.

Britney kept her fans up to date with Maddie’s condition and urged them to pray for her.
