A Texas mother waging a legal fight to prevent a hospital from taking her baby off life support says the infant "is awake" and deserves a chance to live.A Texas mother waging a legal fight to prevent a hospital from taking herThe mother, Trinity Lewis, spoke at a news conference Monday outside the Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, where her daughter, Tinslee Lewis, was born prematurely in February and with congenital heart disease.
Trinity Lewis reads a statement to the press about her daughter, eleven-month-old Tinslee Lewis, in Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 6, 2020.Following Marion's ruling, the hospital had given Lewis seven days to find another medical center that would continue treating Tinslee. The emergency motion that was granted to the family stops that clock and requires the hospital to"maintain life-sustaining care" while Marion's decision is being appealed.
"Indeed, it is difficult to imagine an appeal in which a stay would be more warranted," Abbott and Paxton wrote in a joint letter to the Second Court of Appeals prior to the injunction being granted on Friday. But Cook hospital officials said the prolonged court battle will only add to the pain Tinslee is enduring."Even with the most extraordinary measures the medical team is taking, Tinslee continues to suffer," hospital officials said in their statement."To keep her alive, doctors and nurses must keep her on a constant stream of painkillers, sedatives, and paralytics. As a result, Tinslee is paralyzed at all times.
