"Something deep down inside is telling me not to unplug my 10-month-old," said Dixie Belcher, Daniel's mother. "I know it's going to take him quite a while to pull out of this, but I know he's my little fighter, and he's got to pull through. He's got to pull through."
Part of the reason Ms. Belcher cannot bring herself to unplug her son is that she has been here before.
Fourteen years ago in a hospital room at Children's Medical Center, she says, she struggled with another doctor's recommendation to remove life support from her 5-month-daughter, Jamie, who also suffered breathing problems.
