Think you have to go with what the doctors are saying. The poor kid can't see, hear, move, cry or swallow, his lungs have packed up, he has irreversible brain damage and would die if he wasn't being artificially kept alive.
They want to take him to the US to try an experimental drug that hasn't been approved by the FDA. Its not a cure, it would just prolong his life and may not even do that as the doctors offering the treatment have never treated anyone with such an advanced case.
However, they have been given this 'ray of hope' and I would imagine it is very easy to cling to that when you're talking about your dying baby...........Sadly the parents have lost touch with reality, the child will be little more than a medical experiment.
It makes me angry the Vatican & Trump are using the lads plight for their own purposes. In this case the courts are right.
My baby son died thirty years ago and I often think what he would have become etc ? Its sad but life can be cruel at times but these parents need to let the baby go.
Respect to you also for your sentiments. It was a horrible time as you also had the funeral to sort out etc. You find the strength from somewhere though and just get on with it but my missus was in bits. She's my ex now but when we occasionally meet up we don't talk about it which is probably how we handled it.I'm sorry to read of that BBR & JHFC. Can't imagine either of you will ever get over that, I know I'd be lost. Massive respect for talking about it so candidly on here.
Oh my, mate. So tragicCorrect BBR.
My baby daughter would be 7 now....
As soon as we knew how ill she was, I asked the consultant to ensure they let us know as soon as "it was time".....
...when that time came, they untangled her from all the equipment & let us both have a hug.....my wife was in bits & couldn't handle it, but I hugged her until she finally passed away in my arms.
Heartbreaking......but not as heartbreaking as watching a helpless little baby being kept alive against all medical advice.
Poor little fella. Give him some peace.
So so hard. I strongly hold that the parents wishes must be respected and followed but we don't always know best do we?Apparently they have been kicking off in court shouting at people from the hospital. I'm not sure why they think the hospital would be lying. Also seen that the poor thing may be in pain also.
Was just about to post, shouting at the judge in court how he is meant to be impartial.
It's a bit random, I know they are grieving but still don't get it.
I understand that and could never imagine the pain. Just don't see why they want the poor lad to stay suffering for years to come
Well the expert medical opinion is different to yours. Think I'll believe their opinionI don't think the parents have been treated well at all myself. I think they should of decided the fate for their child. Utterly heart breaking. They seem to have been shunned to me and they are feeling it and of course you would. If 7 months ago he was given the green light for treatment he stood a chance. Something the parents now have to live with.
I'm no Doctor but it's my opinion.
However, they have been given this 'ray of hope' and I would imagine it is very easy to cling to that when you're talking about your dying baby...........
Horrendous situation all round.
