Houston Mother Loses Fight To Keep Baby On Life Support Baby Sun Born With Fatal Genetic Disorder
POSTED: 11:23 am EST March 15, 2005 UPDATED: 6:29 pm EST March 15, 2005
HOUSTON -- A critically ill baby at the center of a lengthy court battle died Tuesday shortly after being removed from life support at a Houston hosptal.
A judge in Houston on Monday lifted an injunction the mother had won that prevented doctors from halting the care they believed was futile.
Sun Hudson was born with a fatal genetic disorder.
Wanda Hudson unsuccessfully fought to continue the medical care for her 5-month-old son, Sun. The boy was diagnosed with a fatal genetic disorder that left him with a tiny chest and lungs that were too small to support life.
Texas Children's Hospital said it was "deeply saddened" to report that Sun Hudson died from the affects of a lethal and incurable genetic deformity.

You state your case well, sageb1, and I agree with you.
They are blessed to have you.
God bless him and carry him to heaven where he is no longer suffering or diasbled.
Perhaps I need to be euthanized. Perhaps my problem with not being able to be learned right is congenital and incurable.
You've convinced me.
Now lets ask the judge to decide. How about the one is California just made a decision saying a ballot initiative on marriage passed overwhelmingly can't be followed.
Yes. You've shown me the way. Let judges decide everything. Not mothers, not you, not me. No. Judges.
We have great wise judges in this country, boy oh boy we do.

I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps tallhappy hasn't experienced a similar grief. It would certainly explain the instant attacks.
If that is the case, tallhappy, my condolences, and I will judge your posts accordingly.
If not, please eat my shorts.
Actually I believe someone who had been thru a similar situation would understand the limits of genetic disorders.
It appears tallhappy is just ornery tonight.
Me neither.
But the Mother was.
But she's cr-a-a-a-a-zy from what I hear on this thread.
Someone in this thread questioned the mother's ability to raise her baby if the baby had survived. Who knows? I just hope she has family and friends who love her and who will help her through this. Perhaps she needs outside help. In all fairness, perhaps she does not. We only got a few glimpses of what is going on in her head and therefore, cannot judge or say for sure.
That makes a lot of sense. If they wanted the child to remain on life support they could have kept it there where it was already on it.
Is utter stupidity the rule?
Why so little patience? I guess the mother was somehow defective, as I read here, so she had to be put in her place.
Your luckystarmom name says it all! I will keep your daughters in my prayers!
What if a judge forced you to hook him up?
I may be wrong, but I believe the reason the other hospitals were contacted was because the one the baby was in had decided they were going to take him off life support.
Wow, people were wondering if you didn't have something in common with the mother. I'm beginning to think it may be true. Have you been evaluated?
That happens when your child is dying, I hear.
But she's cr-a-a-a-a-zy from what I hear on this thread.
It would seem so, yes.
The baby's chances of survival were zero.
...but the Catholic Church does not consider the financial aspects of a tragic situation such as this. The point tallhappy was trying to make, I think--and if I think correctly, I agree with him--is that FReeper rmmcdaniell (#3) is a callous, coldhearted loser.
A few years back a FReeper asserted that we should be thankful for all of the abortions that have been performed since RvW became the law of the land...were it not for those abortions, finding a parking space would be impossible. I thought that was a joke. It wasn't. rmmcdaniell's comment brought that to mind.
So basically he slept for 5 months? I was wondering if he had any 'mental' growth in his short life.
