Another late-night visit from paramedics to the Windermere, Fla. home of Tiger Woods and family began with a frantic 911 call Tuesday morning -- from his wife Elin Nordegren.
Authorities have released audio of the 2:30 a.m. call made by a woman with a Scandinavian accent, believed to be Nordegren, 29. Heard in the background: a crying baby, but no evidence of her husband Woods' presence in the house. (Listen to the call here.)

"Oh my god," she says in the tape. "My mom just collapsed." In the three minute conversation, a 911 operator talks an emotional female caller through the emergency. The caller says that her 57 year-old mother (believed to be Barbro Holmberg) "collapsed in the bathroom."
"She said she collapsed and she fainted ...and she's been down for a while," the caller explains, adding that she heard her mother's fall from elsewhere in the house and rushed to her side.

After the caller puts the phone down to check on her mother, the 911 operator seems to successfully calm her down. "I think we're fine," the caller says, telling the operator that the paramedics don't need to come after all. "It's not urgent," she says as the conversation winds down.
The operator notes that they'd prefer to visit and make sure that the situation is under control.

Earlier Tuesday, it was confirmed that Holmberg, 57, was in stable condition after being rushed to the hospital early Tuesday morning. A spokesperson said she is recovering nicely back at her daughter and son-in-law's home.
Tell Us What You Think
25Why are these tapes released? why?
Please leave this woman alone! Why do we need to hear a tape of her calling 911? Obviously this family is under major stress and they need to be left alone.
Leave Elin alone. The woman has enough on her plate - looking after two little kids, dealing with a cheating husband and now a sick mother too. She's kept a dignified silence despite all the nasty insinuations hurled against her. The only person who deserves to be criticised is Tiger Woods.
so cute!
This is newsworthy because...??? And why are these tapes released, anyway?
To BOB and the rest of you smelly Brits , get off the computer and take your montly bath , we Americans can smell you from here. You are a Nasty Crack infested County.
Dear the Other Side: Are you kidding me? What she did was more effective, she got him out of the car. You are just plain stupid. Her mom was safe inside the house, he was in a car unconscious in an accident. You face a loved one in that situation - that is if you have a loved one, I'm sure you'd react in the most immediate way to make sure your loved one was safe. To her - getting him out of the wrecked car made him safer.
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCH?? GET A LIFE ALL OF YOU DUMB AMERICAN GREASY PIGS.
to 9:08- she sounds like a ditsy chick? How rational would you sound if you had to call 911 after your mother collapsed? Good luck to you Elin and prayers for your mother's speedy recovery :)
9:08, sounds like a ditsy chick? are you bilingual? she sounds classy to me. she's panicked because her mom collapsed and she's more concerned about her well-being than attending to the questions of the 911 dispatcher. you're an idiot. i guess you consider tiger's bimbos scholars.
she was so nice and polite on the phone. so sad. i am glad the mom is okay though. that is so scary.
I don't think he is staying at the house right now. Her mom probably came to support her because of what's going on. What woman in her right mind would let a man stay in the house after all of that cheating especially with her mom there?
this mor@n is going to ruin the whole family...that is unbelievable
Elin Nordegren sounds like a ditsy chick. Not much going on upstairs, no wonder Tiger looks for new models. He should have married a chick with brains.
To Jon: LOL!!! Nice try.
The female on the 911 call could be Elin's twin sister.
It sounds to me like Elin Woods is a class act. She needs to get herself and those kids away from Tiger asap.
If listen closely you can hear the paternity suits being planned. You go Tiger! Stay thirsty my friends
2:30 am....Does anyone in that house sleep?
I hope Elin knows that there are a lot of people out here who are standing behind her no matter what she decides to do.
