Texas Hospital Yet to Make Decision on Brain-Dead Patient

A spokeswoman for a Texas hospital says it won’t say whether it plans to appeal a judge’s order to take a pregnant brain-dead woman off of life support.

There seem to be a number of these stories lately concerning people who are ‘brain dead.’ This latest one from Texas appears to be especially dreadful in nature. Even  if you’re fully in favor of taking persons like this off of life support, the fact that a pregnancy is involved makes it much more difficult.

We also have not heard much about Jahi McMath’s plight in the past few weeks, even since the family asked for privacy and was allowed to find her care somewhere.. 

These stories are touching and awful. We all hope none of us ever have to personally experience the horrid nature of having a family member filled with life suddenly succumb to a ‘brain dead’ existence. 

Even though science discounts most miracles, they have been known to happen.. So here’s hoping they do ..

Brain dead girl Jahi McMath released from California hospital

Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital.

This is just an emotional draining and horrific story. I cannot even imagine what he family of this beautiful girl, Jahi, is experiencing.  There are so many things I think about when  I read updates on this matter.

One thing I don’t like seeing over and over again: the media uses “brain dead” to describe Jahi in almost every headline. I understand why they would.. but can’t we give this 13-year-old girl more respect? Can’t we describe her as “loving Jahi” or “beautiful Jahi”? Oh, better yet, just “Jahi McMath!” Maybe that would work!

While I am not an expert on the brain, I am not quite sure if anyone is.. We are going into uncharted territories as we explore more about the brain, its functions, and what it does every single day when we wake up.I listened to a pretty interesting Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night about the science of reviving people in comas. 

We can say brain dead until we are blue in the face.. sometimes miracles happen.

I think we know that Jahi’s family is praying for a miracle.. As should we all..

Pray to whatever or whoever you believe in.. if no beliefs are within you, simply send some good will and feelings their way. There’s a butterfly effect of good that can result..
