Mom Fights to Save Her Son’s Life After Doctors Order His Life Support to Be Disconnected Tonight

It is believed that the baby boy is one of only 16 people who have ever had the condition, which renders the availability of treatment and resources extremely unlikely.

The couple from Bedfont, west London, located a specialist in the United States who provides an unproven treatment known as a nucleoside. Even though they raised more than $1.6 million to transport their son to the United States for treatment, doctors refused to let him go.

Instead, they suggested that Charlie’s life support be turned off and that he be allowed to “die with dignity.”

Connie and Chris have embarked on a mission to seek justice for their son after being denied their parental rights by medical professionals. They have taken their case to the European Court of Human Rights to rectify the situation.

At a hearing on April 11, the judges decided that the doctors were correct, and they gave permission for Charlie’s life support machine to be turned off whenever medical professionals deem it appropriate.

The baby boy must be kept on life support until June 13 at midnight, according to the court.

Connie posted a photo of her son with his eyes wide open to Facebook on Sunday, just one day before the doctors plan to allow Charlie to “die with dignity.”

She attached the caption, “A picture speaks a thousand words!! “, which was a reference to the verdict that was handed down by the court, which stated that Charlie’s quality of life was restricted because “he is not consistently able to open his eyes enough to be able to see.”

According to the ruling, if he is unable to open his eyes frequently, his brain is failing to learn how to see.

The attorneys who represent Connie and Chris believe that parents should have the right to make decisions regarding the medical care given to their children, unless there is a significant risk of harm associated with any of the proposed treatments.

As the final hours draw closer, our thoughts and prayers are with Connie, Chris, and Baby Charlie.

God who is capable of Gigantic miracles. Charlie’s life was in danger, and all anyone could do was pray that God would intervene and do something that only He can do to save him.

UPDATE: Doctors have ordered that a boy be taken off life support and given him six more days to live.

But, for the third time in three months, Charlie and his parents were given an unexpected extension.

Connie Yates and Chris Gard have raised more than 1.6 million dollars to bring their son to the United States for an experimental treatment that they believe will save his life. Just two months after he was born, Charlie was given a diagnosis indicating that he was already in the terminal stages of a disease known as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. The condition has only been diagnosed in 16 people ever.

It is feared by the medical staff that the baby, who is currently being kept alive by a machine, has sustained an excessive amount of brain damage for any additional treatment to be beneficial. They brought Connie and Chris before a judge over the matter, and the judge agreed with the doctors that baby Charlie should not be allowed to travel to the United States but should instead be allowed to “die with dignity.”

At a hearing on April 11, the judge ruled that the doctors treating Charlie would have the authority to turn off the life support machine beginning on May 30, at midnight. But because the European Supreme Court decided to take a look at the case at the very last minute, Charlie was granted a few more weeks of life.

On June 13, at twelve o’clock midnight, Charlie was given a new “shut-off” date. Because of decisions made by the European Court of Human Rights, that particular deadline has been pushed back yet again. In the meantime, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has requested that Charlie’s condition be monitored and that his organs be kept on life support until at least midnight on Sunday, June 19.

The attorneys who represent Connie and Chris believe that parents should have the right to make decisions regarding the medical care that their children receive, unless there is a significant risk of harm associated with any proposed treatments.

We have no doubt that God has something amazing in store for Charlie, Connie, and Chris. Our prayer is that the One who gives life abundantly will show up in a big way and do something that only He can do. This is not for the glory of the medical professionals, the experts, or even the parents; rather, it is solely for the glory and praise of the One who gives life abundantly.
