Yes, we heard it before, and were let down, but the death staff have relented and her first hour of end was reprieved. She is doing better.
This is from Pro Life Blogs, in during the night.
Yesterday was the day Andrea Clark's hospital originally said they would end her life sustaining medical treatment. As a result of the efforts of her family and friends, Andrea's sister sent us the following email today: The futility proceedings are stopped now. Because this new doctor took over her case, it is all stopped. I'm so happy I don't know what to think, or say, or do. Not only is my sister NOT going to be put to death by St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, but it also looks like she is RECOVERING from her heart surgery, finally. MelanieHow am I doing? I am doing FABULOUS! My sister, Andrea, is GETTING WELL. Her white blood cell count has been down to normal for the FOURTH day in a ROW now, and she has been able to get off of the blood pressure raising drugs that she has had to be on for MONTHS. She is doing GREAT. Her new doctor ... has also halved the amount of pain medications that she is taking, so that she can talk to her family. He says that her condition is "serious," but that she does have the ability to get much better.
Praise God! Yes, miracles do happen. We couldn't be happier for Andrea and her family.

Just one excerpt...
Andrea's attending physician, Dr. Ronald Giveon, made the decision to remove Andrea from life support and then left for vacation. His decision was supported by the hospital's ethics committee and the respirator and dialysis keeping Andrea alive were scheduled to be removed from Andrea on Sunday, April 30.
Futility Proceedings Stopped; Andrea On Road To Recovery

Her previous doc threw her to the wolves and went on vacation. (His name was Giveon, or something like that, as I recall.) Perhaps he was too interested in playing golf and forgot to take care of his patient. Perhaps he should try some other line of work, such as an encyclopedia salesman.
Oh, how I love a happy ending! Praise God!
