Nothing short of a miracle in this case from June 1980's. Maybe science has advanced since then. JMO but we can hardly blame BK's family for holding onto hope. This is their loved one. Had they decided to take her off of life support people would have been speculating about their greed for her inheritance. There are no hard and fast rules as to how someone in BK's state will play out. Every person is individual and healing or deterioration is unique to those affected. Death is final and I feel certain her loved ones are holding onto hope because of something they are being told by medical staff at the hospital. As long as she is not suffer I support their decision at this time. Should she survive and end up in a vegetative state (I hope this doesn't end up to be the case), my only wish is that they continue to remain by her side to support her.
Although I realize this was near drowning in a swimming pool with cold water as opposed to a bathtub and the child was much younger, this was 30 some years ago, doctors may be more advanced in treatments. Is she actually brain dead or is this an assumption? Do we know how long she was submerged in the water? So many factors we don't know which make it difficult to surmise. MOO.
