They’ve been saying he’ll never live — that’s the point of the story

Big-Country-12-year-old-who-was-shot-in-head-making-progress:

A family member of Zachary Fernandez, a 12-year-old who was shot in the head earlier this month, said he is making progress.
well-wishers-pack-anson-stadium-to-pray-for-boy:
Three days after a shooting in a west Abilene neighborhood that wounded two children, 12-year-old Zach Fernandez is showing signs of improvement at Cook's Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, while his brother, Angelo Fernadez, 8, remains in Child Protective Services custody, according to family members.
... Tommie Nix, Zach's great-grandmother, said she visited her grandson on Wednesday, and said doctors have told her family that they think Zach will "pull through."
OK, maybe the great-grandmother was lying. But she SAYS that the doctors told her they think Zach will "pull through". That's a lot different from this article's claim that the doctors never had hope and told them to pull the plug.

The article says they wanted his organs before he improved and started to breathe on his own.

The article says the PARENTS SAID the hospital wanted his organs. THe great-grandmother said the doctors had hope and thought he would pull through. Those statements seem to be contradictory.

You don’t know what doctor she’s talking about. There are two hospitals involved. Also, many people talk to nurses or other staff members and think they’re doctors.

You posted two links to stories that happened five or more days ago. One article even had comments shut off. There has been many more developments in this story as Spero News indicated. That’s the most up-to-date source of news. Contesting their news with old stories doesn’t make sense.
