I just got caught up again on All Nurses...nothing new. Just a bunch of bickering nurses!

This is wrong on so many levels. What facility would accept a dead child and try to maintain it? If what I have read from Neurologists is true, her brain should be liquifying about now. According to the Allnurses website in the video with the woman applying ice to her feet, there is gangrene starting in her toes. I love my son more than life and I could not do this to him. I would rather die with him.

It's beyond insanity what her mother is doing. I'm not sure what the defining moment will be (aside from the heart stopping) that will snap her into reality. It's very sad that she is in this much denial.

I agree, I would not put my son's body thru this either.

Dear god, I love my child and I would do ANYTHING in my power to help him if this ever happened - However, if he were to be declared dead I would hold his hand, say goodbye and arrange an amazing send off for him!!!

This? This is just torture - for the parents AND the girls siblings.

I don't know about the stimulation showing brain dead or not but thanks for posting invertigo

Thank you invertigo
I found this on a website regarding the ice on the foot.

"However, Dr. Neal E. Slatkin, a neurologist and chief medical officer at San Jose's Hospice of the Valley, said spontaneous movements aren't rare in brain-dead patients and can be seen in 50 per cent or more of such patients.

The movement, according to Slatkin, could be spinally mediated reflexes or due to irritable nerves or muscle membranes reacting to the application of cold. The movements are not an indication that she is alive, he said.

"She's brain dead. She has no thought. She has no ability to control or interact with anything in her environment," he said. "She's completely dependent on machines and forever will be."

I don't like the term, 'brain-dead'. She is dead, period. . That's not an opinion, it is fact.

As much as I sit here and try to understand what they're doing, I don't.

In the video that was just posted, there was a thumbnail to another video where the mom is telling the public about the doctor calling their child "dead, dead, dead" and how offensive she found that. Well, to the rest of us it's clear what the doctor was trying to do, but she takes it as an insult. She's also crying about how she asked the hospital to have Christmas day festivities in the hospital with her dead child. Once again, I don't understand how she can't see why that's not a good idea. Her child isn't the only child in the PICU and those other kids, they're alive and need rest. Plus, their parents can't have "Christmas Day" there. Why were all these special requests approved???????????
