She is a very selfish woman.

Yep K9Grip...It's all about the money.


"Dolan said he is working on an application to revoke an Alameda County Coroner's Office death certificate for Jahi. Such action would be first for the state, state officials said.

It could also mean a significant change in compensation for the family. There is a cap of $275,000 on medical malpractice lawsuits involving children who die as a result of surgery. For patients who survive surgery but are injured as a result, a hospital could end up paying a much larger sum that would include paying for the patient's future medical care needs."

Not much to update...they have been relatively silent for a while now. Minus the posts on Jahi's mom's twitter and instagram, showing off her new expensive lifestyle.

Click on that FB link above...it's a page dedicated to showing how she is pissing away all the "go fund me" money on herself and her husband.

They are now trying to get her declared NOT brain dead, move her back to CALI and collect medicare.

When you get to the photos....pic of Jahi the day of surgery and then one taken this week.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The family of a California teenager who was declared brain-dead after suffering complications from sleep apnea surgery is seeking an unprecedented court order declaring her alive, the family's lawyer said Thursday.

Attorney Chris Dolan said doctors at the non-profit International Brain Research Foundation have found signs of brain functions after running a series of tests on the girl at Rutgers University last week.

The discovery came months after three doctors, including one appointed by a judge, declared Jahi McMath, 13, brain dead and Alameda County issued a death certificate after her Dec. 9 surgery went awry.

Since then, Jahi's mother has pushed for keeping her daughter's organs functioning on life support, first at Children's Hospital in Oakland and later at an undisclosed medical facility in New Jersey.

Dolan said Jahi and her parents moved to a house in New Jersey about a month ago where the girl remains on life support.

On Thursday, Dolan showed video clips to a small group of reporters that he says proves Jahi is still alive. One clip shows her twitching her foot after her mother asks her to move it. Another shows hand movement in apparent response to her mother's commands.

Philip DeFina, chief executive and chief scientific officer of the International Brain Research Foundation, said Jahi has responded to commands many other times.

"There is a consistency to it," said DeFina said.

DeFina said an examination of Jahi also revealed that her brain was still intact, rather than "liquefying" as would be expected if a brain-dead body was kept on life-support for many months.

DeFina also said brain scans showed electrical activity, and other tests showed blood flowing to the brain.

Arthur Caplan, head of medical ethics at New York University's Langone Medical Center, said he knows of no cases of a brain death determination being reversed. He cautioned that the data collected on Jahi has to be examined by other researchers and experts in the field before any conclusions can be made.

"Were this to be true, it would be an earth-shattering development in understanding death," Caplan said. "They're playing a high-stakes game."

Lawyers for the University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital said the evidence in Jahi's case still supports the determination that she is legally dead.

"This is a sad situation where the court made the correct determination that Jahi McMath was dead," hospital attorney Douglas Strauss stated in court papers. "There is no factual basis or legal justification for requiring those involved to endure re-litigation of that properly reached determination."

After the December surgery, Jahi began bleeding heavily and went into cardiac arrest. She was declared brain-dead Dec. 12.

Her mother and other family members refuse to believe the girl is dead as long as her heart is beating. They went to court last winter seeking an order to prevent the hospital from removing a respirator and feeding tube.

The two sides reached an agreement allowing Jahi to be transferred if her mother assumed responsibility for further complications. She was removed from Children's Hospital on Jan. 5, less than two days before an injunction that would have allowed the hospital to remove the equipment.

A court hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 9.

Notice the difference in her mother's appearance over the past 10 months. From ghetto to glam. Amazing what some go fund me money will do!!

[TheCreeperBEATNGU]

This mother is absolutely vile

[tbone79]

Very sad. Let her go peacefully, and stop living it up on the donations. Even if they were to collect 40 billion dollars, it wouldn't make a difference in Jahi's condition. I couldn't imagine having to make the decision like that for my child, I'd probably look into organ donation personally.

Not a week or two goes by that I don't wonder what's going on in this case. It's just so disrespectful...

And this won't sound right, but there is no other way to say it. [J'hai is just taking up space] and resources that could very well do an, oh, I don't know, ALIVE patient some good.
