Then why do the trach when the baby will die with only the trach? That is not logical. The parents are in denial.
Would you want to cut a hole into a baby's throat for no apparent reason?

Then why do the trach when the baby will die with only the trach?

The child cannot swallow his own secretions, and cannot breathe on his own because of that.

If they do a trach, he will be able to breathe on his own, just like his sister did for 6 months, without a vent. The parents will probably need suction to keep the trach clear, but they will not need a vent.

Please, read the medical report you posted, read the facts about his sister's case, and stop making assertions that are not supported by the evidence at hand.
