A Miracle of Survival
The little girl had survived only by chance.
Her bedroom was upstairs, where the heavy gas spread more slowly. And her habit of waking at night, leaving the door ajar, had allowed a faint breeze to drift in. That small bit of fresh air saved her life.
Doctors later confirmed she had inhaled dangerous fumes as well. She was rushed to the hospital, but thankfully her condition soon stabilized.
