My take on it is that this could have been avoided all together if the poor child’s family had cooked her healthy food and exercised with her. They wanted a quick fix for her sleep apnea so they had her airway enlarged. That is so sad. Quick fix for breakfast: McDonalds. Quick fix for lunch: Hot Pockets. Quick fix for supper: Dominos. Quick fix for breathing problems due to obesity: surgery. Now she’s dead and they are feeling quite guitly, prompting this nightmare for which they clearly need counciling.

Unfortunately, that’s true of a lot of adults I know also. Instead of losing weight and exercising they’d rather take pills for their cholesteral, diabetes, etc. I know 3 women in their 50’s who have had to have their knees replaced, not because they are great athletes, but because they are overweight. None of their doctors insisted they lose weight.

My own mother supposedly has high cholesteral, high blood pressure and diabetes. She spends most of her time eating at the buffet. She quit doing any walking or exercise of any kind years ago. She is currently taking 9 medicines. My husband has become the same way. Why change his diet when he can just take pills or use a machine for his snoring.

We can’t expect our children to do any better than we do.

You are probably right and this family is not picking up any of the humungous hospital bills for keeping a body with a dead brain on life support. Which is a contradiction anyway. How long until the lawsuit over this mess that the family is part responsible for>
