Prayers For Alfie

It's not the first case.

A year ago a similar thing happened. The hospital said the boy wouldn't live. A hospital near Chicago (I think) said they could give the boy and his family hope. Doctors here said they could save the boy. The British courts ruled the parents couldn't bring him here and ordered them to watch him die.

Weep for a nation that treats their children as disposable. Weep for the human race who considers children disposable.

My heart breaks thinking this could be one of mine.

You may recall as well, the recent case of the father who saved his son's life at Tomball Regional Hospital just North of Houston......

A father’s desperate – but dangerous – strategy to keep his ‘brain dead’ son on life support

There is a lot more to the story than what is printed in the article I linked to above. I heard the live radio interview of Mr. Pickering earlier this week. You can find it here on podcast...... Look at April 25 and 26, 2018 entries...... George Pickering Interview......

Listen to Free Episodes of Michael Berry Show on iHeartRadio | iHeartRadio

Mr. Pickering's lawyer phoned in and is in the interview, as well. After going over records subpoenaed from the hospital and statements made by the nurse who attempted to euthanize (nurse's own words as noted in police report) his son by giving him a lethal injection both during the time Mr. Pickering was in his son's hospital room and following the standoff with SWAT after SWAT medical team members independently confirmed that Mr. Pickering's son was in fact responsive and not 'brain dead' as the doctors at Tomball Hospital had claimed...... Mr. Pickering's lawyer found disturbing evidence that...... Well, I'll let you listen to it yourselves. I'll only say that she was so disturbed by what she found in hospital records of this and other cases that she stated during the interview that she has changed her own designation on her drivers license to no longer be an organ donor.

You really have to listen to this from beginning to end to understand how this man nearly forfeited his own life to save his son. I might add that Mr. Pickering's son had been in the hospital less than 24 hours following his stroke when this incident took place and he interceded to keep hospital staff from killing his son.

But thanks to G-d and a loving father, Mr. Pickering's son was up and walking within weeks following his stroke. And his father would do it all over again, including the lengthy periods he spent in jail following this incident and even accepting a plea bargain rather than fighting the case in court so he could get out of jail on time served after the better part of a year and see to his son's recovery.

Best regards to all,
