That story was about a little more than simply letting go.

Hudson hasn't seen her son in more than a month, but says she believes she communicates with him telepathically.

"Sun is going to live forever," she said. "As long as the Sun is in the sky he will live. I don't believe in death."

It's nice to see tax dollars go to helping pyschos.

She should be sued for draining funds from the hospital and in effect killing other patients that were denied care due to lack of funds.

There's just a certain point when you have to face reality. THis kid is not going to recover, and his mother needs to do him a favor and let him go.

She should also get some professional help ASAP.

Denial is costing the taxpayers a lot of money.

That is so sad. I feel really sorry for that baby and his mother.

I just read that article a little while ago--- maybe part of the tax money being spent should be re-routed for her mental health treatment--- she obviously needs it.
Seriously, that would be a very hard position to be put in. To carry a child for 9 months, knowing there is a health problem that will result in death would take a toll on one's mental state.
But then again, if you are that sure your child will recover- go to the hospital, nurture your child and stop thinking you are telepathically communicating!!!
She is a mental case!!!

I'm not saying that the state or hospital should pay for it, because they shouldn't, but that's what I meant when I said she needs professional help. Anyone going through an experience like that should really talk to a professional.

I know it has to be hard to lose your baby before you even get to raise them, but that telepathy bit is another thing. She's wacked.

[DeltaSigStan]

She doesn't believe in death, one of the few things that's 100%, undisputedly guarenteed to happen to ANY LIVING body....

Twacked............

Well, sadly enough, it's been resolved. I hope his mother can find peace.

Baby at center of life support case dies

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- A critically ill 5-month-old was taken off life support and died Tuesday, a day after a judge cleared the way for doctors to halt care they believed to be futile. The infant's mother had fought to keep him alive.

Sun Hudson had been diagnosed with a fatal genetic disorder called thanatophoric dysplasia, a condition characterized by a tiny chest and lungs too small to support life. He had been on a ventilator since birth.

Wanda Hudson unsuccessfully fought to continue her son's medical care. She believed he needed time to grow and could eventually be weaned off the ventilator.

"I wanted life for my son," Hudson said Tuesday. "The hospital gave up on him too soon."

Texas law allows hospitals to end life support in cases such as this but requires that families be given 10 days to find another facility to care for the patient. No hospital was found to take the baby.

The ethics committee at Texas Children's Hospital reviewed Sun's case before recommending that life support be stopped. Hospital officials also recommended the case be taken to court and offered to pay Hudson's attorney fees.

"Texas Children's Hospital is deeply saddened to report that Sun Hudson has died," the hospital said in a statement issued Tuesday.
