Steven Jorgensen who is the father of his 12 year old daughter named Ella used his first aid skills that he learned when he was with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) was scared when Ella was playing outside of her grandparents' home in Sun City West Arizona on Saturday during a thunderstorm. Ella was struck by a bolt of lightning after a loud sound of thunder preceded the lightning bolt which knocked the little girl out a light. Steven went to use CPR on his daughter outside of the grandparents' home after the incident in an attempt to revive her when he realized that he needed to take his daughter the home while another family member called 911 to ask for help. Steve used CPR on his daughter on three occasions until the paramedics showed up about three minutes later when they took over in an attempt to revive Ella before she was taken by ambulance first to Banner Thunderbird Medical Center and then she was transferred to Valleywise Health Medical Center where she is making a full recovery. Valleywise Health Medical Center Doctor Kevin Foster mentioned that thanks to the quick actions of Steve, the life of his daughter was saved. On a side note, I am sure that Ella will learn to never play outside of a house during a thunderstorm is dangerous.
