Read full article: Parents file motion to stop Texas Childrenโs Hospital from removing child from life supportTexas Childrenโs hospital planned to take a 10-month-old baby boy off life support until an emergency motion was filed, according to the familyโs attorney, Kevin Acevedo. Court documents show the boy was taken to Texas Childrenโs Hospital where medical staff informed the boyโs parents that nothing could be done and the 10-month-old was to be taken off life support. However, Nickโs family claims the boyโs organs are working fine and theyโre praying for a miracle, according to the documents. Wednesday morning and into the afternoon attorneyโs representing Nickโs family and Texas Childrenโs Hospital argued their side of the situation to a judge. Acevedo claims the hospital is breaking the law by not having an independent ethical committee review the case before taking the child off life support.
