Happy Birthday Haleigh!

Haleigh turns 12 today in hospital

BUT

WESTFIELD - Haleigh Poutre, who was hospitalized in September in what doctors called a "persistent vegetative state," turns 12 today.

But the Westfield girl, who is now said to be responding to simple yes and no questions and expressing emotions, will be spending her birthday without the presence of her biological mother who has been denied permission by the state to visit her at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston today.

From North Country Gazette....

Entitled “A Life That Matters: The Legacy of Terri Schiavo”, the book will debut next month, published by Warner Books and “may well change every assumption you have about Terri’s too-brief life and prolonged, agonizing death”.

We need more info on poor Haleigh! Do you have any reference to her mother's lawyer? All I remember is her name was Murphy.

Sorry, there it is in the story -- Wendy Murphy.

Notice the first para disinformation -- as I recall anyway, Haleigh was called "virtually" PVS or some such weasel word, meaning she wasn't PVS. Good bet they exaggerated her condition because they couldn't wait to chop her up and put her vital organs up for sale.

I think it's pretty rotten that Haleigh's mom can't see her on her birthday. God, what is wrong with those people?
