The family fighting to keep a brain-dead 13-year-old girl on medical support through Christmas blasted administrators at Children's Hospital Oakland on Thursday evening, saying that hospital officials told them in a private meeting that the girl had to be taken off her ventilator "quickly."
"They said, 'What don't you understand?' She is dead, dead, dead,'" said Omari Sealey, the uncle of Jahi McMath, the Oakland teen who has been kept alive by machines since complications from a tonsil surgery last week in a case that has brought national attention and prayers from social media users around the world. "They just kept referring to her as 'a body.'"
The family's attorney, Christopher Dolan, said he will head to court on Friday morning to seek an injunction to halt any hospital intervention. Hospital officials have not given a timeline to remove the girl from the ventilator, he added

"They keep saying she is 'dead, dead, dead' and I am hoping the courts will say 'no, no, no,'" Dolan said in a Thursday night news conference. "We just saw her; she is a beautiful young lady. She responds to her mother's touch. She is warm."

Jahi had tonsil surgery to help her with sleep apnea, weight gain and other health problems and began bleeding from her nose and mouth and experienced cardiac arrest later that night.

It is amazing to think how tonsils used to be removed for no reason whatsoever. I still have mine and have had no problems, I was born during that period when tonsillectomy was considered the thing to do but my parents didn’t go for it.
I know the sore throat and “brick on my head” feeling of exhaustion often. CPAP doesn’t look like much fun.
Good for you. Europe is beautiful...
99% of appendicitis can be eliminated by high colonic irrigation.
_______________-
there is nothing like a high colonic with appendisites to rupture the appendix.
And if you are suggesting prophylactic high colonics, well, to throw your argument back at you: you have some sort of problem with God’s design??
Nonsense flows freely!
Irrigation removes the infection.
