This is a tough one, isn’t it? No one wants to see a kid die... but if she is truly brain dead, then that’s it.
Is still find I’m torn because around 35 years ago my great aunt either fell and smacked her head... or had something happen in her brain causing her to fall.
In the hospital, the doctors said she was beyond hope and they wanted to stop life support. My great-uncle fought them for awhile, but eventually my grandmother went to be with her brother because they were going to turn the life-support off.
Well... the woman came out of her coma. She wound up being fine... no real problems from the event (she had been a bit dotty prior... she liked to Windex light switches after people touched them and her house was SPOTLESS)... but she ended up outliving my great-uncle.
So ... I can understand how a mom might feel that the daughter is responding and I can imagine this is a terrible call to have to make.
Is a coma the same thing as being brain dead?
