I received a heartfelt plea for help...and had to come here where I know people care and act...
HERE IT IS:
Baby Charlotte Wyatt Needs Help: She Wants To Live
We received the information about Charlotte Wyatt by email today, and we've been asked as a group to help get the message out about her plight. All BlogsForTerri Blogs are encouraged to look into this matter and help get Charlotte the attention MSM attention she deserves(hopefully the life-kind of media attention).
Eighteen months ago, Charlotte was born premature, with severe health problems. She had to be resuscitated three times. (She is not on a resuscitator, although she does get help from an oxygen tent.) Six months ago the hospital caring for Charlotte sought permission not to resuscitate her again -- over the vehement objections of her Christian parents-- and a British High Court judge ruled on the side of the hospital.
The hospital said that Charlotte was deaf and blind. But she can now see and hear.
The hospital said that Charlotte would die of an infection over the winter. But she's still alive.
Now hospital sources "admit the 18-month-old baby may live on for 'a considerable time' potentially years rather than months."
Charlotte's parents went back to court a month ago to ask the judge to allow Charlotte at least some time (even if only five days) on a ventilator if she needs the help again. The judge delayed his decision a month.
Now it has been a month, and there has been a defeat in the courts.

The Charlotte Wyatt blogspot link isn't working for me. It clicked there once, and I got to see her beuatiful picture, but then it redirected me to some blogger site, and now I can't get back to Charlotte's page and read the rest of her story. Do you know anything I can do to get around the blogger stuff? I tried going back in my history for the link and it did the same thing. :-(
Bump
This is not the MAE THREAD? Is this MAE or BABY C?
Am so glad to see she's confounded the doctors predictions. The picture shows her looking awfully well! What a little sweetie she is.
If only Charlotte can be sustained until she needs a little less oxygen, and her parents could take her home, right? Until then, aren't there any private hospitals in Britain that might be willing to take Charlotte on as what we used to call, a "charity case" ? Maybe a Catholic hospital?
