A slightly more update version.
The court has handed down its decision with regards to Baby Luke.
He is allowed to have a mask and bag and cardiac compressions but he is not
allowed to be placed on a ventilator.
From the BBC
"Doctors treating a terminally-ill baby have been given permission to
withhold life-saving treatment if his condition deteriorates.
The High Court ruled Luke Winston-Jones should not be treated using
mechanical ventilation. Graham Satchell reports."
Better than I first thought but still sad that it comes down to a court
deciding. Even Alex has been on ventilation short term.
"It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not
how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving."
