The snarky answer to "what happened?" is that she left the care of BCH, which, as shown by what you point out, actually helped her and went back under the home care of her family, which within just a few months led to various new hospitalizations and at least one surgery, and which, IMO, has...

After looking at the pix of Justina and her birthday cake again, I note that she is in her pajamas, which IMO, means she is still spending a lot of time in bed. It's been a very long time since I turned 17, but I recall it well enough to say that no healthy 17-y-o wants to spend her birthday...

Thanks for this reminder on the timeframe for a lawsuit. IMO, it will never be filed, for 2 main reasons: the family already has been advised, IMO correctly, that they will lose and they really do fear that medical information and details about how much responsibility they (not BCH) bear for...

Much as I think any lawsuit to be filed against BCH by the Pelletiers would be ill-advised, if it meant that Justina's complex medical records would be made public, it might be worth doing. None of us, neither those who support the family or those who feel they are at fault, really has enough...

Thanks, I.B. Nora. Great minds think alike, as they say. :) I am sure you've all heard the cliché about TV news: If it bleeds, it leads. No actual blood in Justina's story, thank goodness, but Beau made the story so sensational that it was irresistible to the rest of the media. Now, for...

I am not sure how the nomination process works for the Emmys-- are they made by a committee or can stations or the reporter self-nominate -- but as a former journalist I can say that I would never vote to give an award to one-sided, naïve, seriously flawed reporting. Just because many papers and...

They need 18 months to figure out what happened? Some of us on this thread could fill them in in about 18 minutes. Sigh. I do wonder what will happen if their research contradicts the Official Pelletier Version of the events, and I also wonder if this investigation will be the substitute...

A new post on the Miracle site from the two Republican state reps in Mass who got on the Justina train last year. They are announcing that the Mass. House of Reps has unanimously passed their amendment establishing a commission to study medical abuse claims, research and assess the cost of the...

A new posting today on the Miracle site. Without giving precise information, it confirms that Justina had surgery recently because she had no other options...and that procedure is now reducing her pain and should continue to do that. That is good news. IMO, it likely was a colostomy, which is...

Related news: Beau Berman, the reporter for FOX CT - WTIC Channel 61 Television in the Hartford area, suddenly left the station last week, ostensibly because of "family issues" in Pittsburgh. It was his reporting -- IMO sloppy and gullible and shockingly one-sided -- that launched a thousand...

They certainly are under no obligation to reveal the procedure or where she is. IMO, the current hospital may have asked them not to do so, as it would be deluged by cards and gifts and visits and other distractions that could slow down Justina's recovery and also make it difficult for the...

Does anyone know in which hospital Justina had this surgery? One of Rev. Mahoney's tweets mentions seeing the Pelletier family last weekend while in Connecticut, which suggests she may be in one of CTs many facilities. There are 4 hospitals in Greater Hartford: Hartford Hospital and its...

IMO, surgery after 5 pm on any weekend night, let alone Good Friday/Passover, must have been due to an emergency. Seems likely that many senior staff docs (not to mention nurses and other support staff) might be taking a holiday, leaving less experienced staffers to take over. It is not a time...

Of course! Sorry I missed that. The word is Belongings.

Oh, sorry. It's sometimes hard to keep the four Js straight. I had thought Julia was the blond one, who is missing from the Rev's photos.

Yes, and IMO, that tells any rational person all they need to know about the Rev. I hope Jesus is paying attention.

IMO, they have not forgotten that she was so ill that they voluntarily took her to BCH, where in fact her condition improved, not worsened --- but they are hoping all their gullible followers have forgotten that inconvenient truth.

Good eye, Annahanna! Yes, she does appear to be in a hospital, again. A very old hospital, by the looks of things. In the second picture, there is a bag that seems to have the word "longings" or something like that, off to the left side. Can anyone figure out what that might be? And again, the...

A new posting on the Miracle site today from someone not heard from much in recent weeks: The Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, the ultra-conservative group best known for meddling in the Terry Schiavo case a decade ago. Mahoney writes that he prayed with the Pelletiers...

I feel your pain, SeeAlice! (And I never see your screen name without picturing two older folks lolling around in twin bathtubs....:happydance: After losing a few of my own brilliant commentaries, I have learned to always highlight and copy my post before hitting the reply button. If it does...
