The condition of the 3-year-old daughter of BYU running backs coach Reno Mahe worsened on Sunday and family members began making plans to donate her virtual organs to needy recipients.

"Elsie's condition continues to slowly slip," according to an update posted by her mother, Sunny Mahe, on a GoFundMe account set up to help the family pay for medical costs. "And yet we feel peace."

Elsie Mahe suffered an in-home accident involving the cord of a window blind last Tuesday that caused severe respiratory distress, and an MRI performed on Friday revealed extensive brain damage. She remains at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.
