Mitochondrial disease. Seems they are trying to treat the symptoms and not the disease. Which is very complicated.

This may be really boring to Obama voters, but very overbearing, like communism.

“I am trying to save my daughter’s life,” he said, breaking a court-imposed gag order, something which DCF filed that he be held in contempt of court for doing.

this is both sad and scary. ,..

for the state and a hospital to have that much control is obscene..

The girl’s father, Lou Pelletier, noted that Monday will be the one-year anniversary of Justina’s admittance to Boston Children’s Hospital, where she stayed through 2013. He said her condition has only worsened.

He said that Justina is now in a wheelchair and is “pretty much paralyzed below the hips.”

“She’s not being treated medically, or going to school,” he said. “There are so many rights being broken and no one’s being held accountable.”

Upon leaving court Tuesday, Justina’s mother, Linda Pelletier, said that Justina’s school is paying for her education but that she has not received any education since she entered Boston Children’s.

“She can’t write or spell, and it’s scary,” she said.

Linda Pelletier also said that her daughter had had a stroke when she was young but that doctors there have not taken that into account in her care.

I am not a doctor,,, but,.. she went from ice skating with her parents to paralyzed in a wheelchair under state care.. which tells me her parents may be wrong.. .but they were doing a much better job of taking care of her..

Several things are questionable here. If there are and sounds like there was, different opinions, what makes one physician's opinion the legal one and the others not? Conflicting opinions are very common.

If this was in a different state, then you would hope the originating state would apply pressure and assistance.

Does this mean that all Jehovah witness children will be required to have blood transfusions?

Surely there is a ton more to this, but in today's USA, I would be plausible.

I'd hate to think of all the bad luck that would happen to the individuals involved if that was my daughter.
