An American hospital has asked to treat Baby Joseph and a transfer was expected to begin as soon as the weekend, The Free Press has learned.
The U.S. hospital, its identity not publicly disclosed, made the request Friday through lawyer Claudio Martini, who represents the parents of the dying Windsor infant who's been at a London hospital since last fall.
"(The American hospital) is ready, able and willing to accept Joseph," Martini said.
Martini said he trusted that London hospital officials were responding in good faith and that a transfer was imminent.

Thanks!
Two good newses in one day. Thank you.
I’m praying for a miracle that the American drs can cure this baby. That would leave some serious egg on the faces of the pro-death lefties. With God, ANYTHING is possible!!!!
This is wonderful news.
I am praying for the same miracle to save Baby Joseph and stop the cult of infanticide.
Is this child in pain? would a tracheotomy be painful?
The answer to your question is: Not as painful as the death he would have without a trach. I.e. constantly gagging and struggling to breathe as he slowly suffocated/drowned on his own secretions.
Hildy, years ago when I worked in a hospital, most of the AIDS patients had DNRs, where they would not be put on a respirator. That was in the eighties. Some of them were very young men.
When the moment of death started to approach, you would not believe how many of them wanted that respirator. Anything to get some air. It’s a hard thing to die. I remember a few successfully revoked their DNRs.
The answer to your post 12 is NO, its not painful. Many people that have had cancer live a long life with a trach. Took care of quite a few in my years in the hospital..NO NO NO pain in having one
The ICU Pts Who are expected to be on a ventilator for an extended period are usually trached for their comfort. This baby has an endotracheal tube in his nose which is not only uncomfortable but predisposes him to a raging sinusitis. If these Canadian “doctors” were as compassionate as they pass themselves off as, they would have trached him a long time ago.
I hope he is going to Texas Medical Center in Houston.
They are the best.
FNC just said (Geraldo garbled it) that baby Joseph has been transferred to the US. Im trying to confirm that.
