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.

I give up.
All of you are delusional.
You have no idea of what you are talking about- I do.
I have been there.
Maybe this is why the world is so screwed up.
Goodnight. Good luck in all your life.
You all need it.
