Elsie’s mother, Sunny, found her daughter and began performing CPR before paramedics arrived to transport her to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. It was unclear as to how long she had been without oxygen, and a later MRI showed extensive brain damage. Elsie was intubated and placed on a respirator, but her condition continued to deteriorate, Fox 13 reported. The family updated followers on a GoFundMe page Sunday and said they had met with the director of the hospital’s organ donation team to discuss how their daughter can help save others.
“The miraculous healing we have been praying for is not FOR Elsie, but FROM Elsie,” Sunny wrote on the GoFundMe page. “We met this morning with a representative from the hospital organ donation team and feel confident that this is the Lord’s will for Elsie – to be a life saving miracle for others. It is not the miracle that we wanted, but it is the one we got. It is still a miracle.”

Poor baby. My heart goes out to her family. Window blind cords are a choking hazard for young children. I know there are blinds designed to prevent this. I hope one day they will become the norm through education and awareness.
I ust went and read a bunch these are the same folks that go and block the freeways and break stuff
This is the solemn joy of organ donation, especially when it involves children. To know, that in the face of death, that the child still lives in this great gift, that the child has still made the world a better place with that gift.
We should note the role that modern science and medicine plays in this quite tragic scenario. It appears that no effort was spared to save Elsie but when the time came, the use of the technology showed that the end was clear and inevitable. While this is not always the case, here it appears to have given the family the confidence to commit to the organ donations.
GOD Bless Elsie, but equally to be wished, is for His Comfort and Peace to her family.
I was about 12 years old and waiting for my Dad to come home from a military assignment that lasted two weeks. I was standing on the cedar chest and mindlessly wrapped the venetian blinds cord around my neck. Then I saw lights coming over the hill. I jumped off the cedar chest. I got a horrendous rope burn around my neck, but fortunately I had not tied the cords or I would have broken my neck.
The cuts were deep and became infected. I was questioned at school by the principal about the cuts. It’s like it happened yesterday.
I forgot to add: How very sad for the family. But it is so easy to do. All cords should be removed from every house. A 12 year old should have known better, but I didn’t.
Mine happened in 1958. There was no organ donation back then. My heart goes out to all involved.
Elsie is with the angels now...
