When my husband died he had refused to sign a DNR. I refused to sign one. We were asked. We got so panicked that the hospital wouldn't ressucitate him that I finally taped a sign over his bed saying "no DNR on file". Even so, the hospital tried to sidestep me and asked his daughter to agree to a DNR. She told them that she couldn't do that.
Don't count on a DNR being overlooked. Sometimes they are deliberately not signed. I would expect that with a 13 year old girl the parents refused to sign. Of course the child has no legal capacity to sign anything.
