Mirranda Grace Lawson was 3 years old when she passed away in November, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May that year, the little girl was celebrating her mother’s birthday when she suffocated and went into a coma. Mirranda was hospitalized and attached to life support and her parents fought for her life until the last second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now that Mirranda is gone, her parents want to raise awareness of the choking dangers children face every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because all it took to end Mirranda’s life was one piece of popcorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mirranda Grace Lawson passed away in November, but her struggle began six months earlier, in May 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison Lawson, Mirranda’s mother, was celebrating her birthday at their home with her husband Patrick, and their three children, when a devastating thing suddenly occured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the GoFundMe page that was created for Mirranda: “At the end of Allison’s birthday, Mirranda ran to the living room. Big eyes, no sound. Time stood still. Those were the last moments before Mirranda fell to the ground; they checked her mouth, but saw nothing; Patrick started resuscitating her. The ambulance arrived. Mirranda’s heart stopped beating.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was nothing inside Mirranda’s mouth, but a small piece of popcorn got stuck in her trachea and choked her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way to the hospital, the paramedics managed to make Mirranda’s heart beat again. But the little girl’s family didn’t know how serious her injury was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Mirranda arrived at the emergency room, she was immediately connected to life support machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her family held fingers, but tragically, the doctors realized that the 3-year-old girl’s brain was actually dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital recommended the family to disconnect her from the ventilator, but they did not give up their beloved girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Lawson family waged war with the hospital to keep their daughter alive, and the matter even came to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope began to run low, but the Lawson family decided to try their luck in the Virginia Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the wheels of justice turned slowly, Mirranda continued to lie in the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind-hearted nurses supervised her, and also drew sweet paintings with Mirranda’s footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But no matter how much Mirranda’s father and mother invested in taking care of their daughter, it took the court a long time to reach a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mirranda’s condition suddenly deteriorated and she passed away in November, 2016, with her heartbroken family by her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now up to us to respect Mirranda’s memory and raise awareness of the dangers of suffocation so that the fate of other children will not be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to reduce the risk of suffocation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t allow children to access small objects
Make sure the child is sitting while eating – moving and eating in the mouth is a very bad combination
Do not allow children to eat while in the car or riding a bicycle – there are always surprising jumps
If the child has a cold – pay more attention to him or her. When there is a congestion in the throat, the chances of things getting stuck are greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
