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

On May that year, the little girl was celebrating her mother\u2019s 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

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

Because all it took to end Mirranda\u2019s life was one piece of popcorn.<\/p>\n

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

Alison Lawson, Mirranda\u2019s mother, was celebrating her birthday at their home with her husband Patrick, and their three children, when a devastating thing suddenly occured.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the GoFundMe page that was created for Mirranda: \u201cAt the end of Allison\u2019s 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\u2019s heart stopped beating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was nothing inside Mirranda\u2019s mouth, but a small piece of popcorn got stuck in her trachea and choked her.<\/p>\n

On the way to the hospital, the paramedics managed to make Mirranda\u2019s heart beat again. But the little girl\u2019s family didn\u2019t know how serious her injury was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Her family held fingers, but tragically, the doctors realized that the 3-year-old girl\u2019s brain was actually dead.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

Kind-hearted nurses supervised her, and also drew sweet paintings with Mirranda\u2019s footprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
