Think a brief back up and the right pam lane will stay with us all morning long. Anny time now 6 00. On to our top story. Unless the court steps and again in the next few hours a 13 yearold oakland girl will have her ventilator removed at 5 00 tonight. Kron4s will tran has been following this story and joins us now with the very latest from Childrens Hospital oakland. Well will that means a bar and a new class at that court action. The family is down to less than 11 hours. We know that 5 00 p. M. Is the deadline which was set by the court. Even though the hospital has said before the for the past several weeks that like to take her off the ventilator. It was a family who went to push for the deadline in a week ago. The family is try to fight this on two fronts. There try to get a third facility to step up and exceptacceot pt jahi mcmath. She came back on december 9th to the hospital to get a tonsillectomy. She made it through the hospital and it appeared to go well. She was talking to family members eating pops a close. The family had no idea that tragedy was right around the corner. And the reason why. She started bleeding from the mouth had a cardiac arrest and shes been unconscious ever sent. The family pushed for two weeks ago to have a final brain scan to see whether or not she had any brain activity. The family complied and a final brain scan and it showed that no brain activity of the family believes she is still alive warm to the touch that she is responding to their words. The hospital believes that she is braindead and there is no hope. We had a chance to talk to the hospital spokesman and attorney and heres what he had to say about the tonsillectomy. there was unfortunately no amount of prayer that can bring her back and i think everybody in this hospital and community. All the friends and family are all grieving because this is an irreversible and very sad situation. Justine up up hospital basically says there were other complications but they cant go into the details because the family wont let them speak to the public but they believe that this is not a routine tonsillectomy. That there were other problems that happened after she came out of surgery. The family. I spoke to the stepdad who spent all weekend trying to talk to a third facility to step up and accept her. The reason there at 3 instead of one is because on friday in Southern California facility was willing to accept her and then they step down and then over the weekend it appears a new york facility was ready and willing to accept her and then it appears they also step down three according to Marvin Wakefield he will try his best massage and europe to see if it would change their mind and try to get a third facility at cellmark and the country to step up and accept jahi. We are on watch and unless something happens to have 11 and a half hours ago. Anny what they already raised the 20,000 they would need to accept that judge be excepted right of thats right. But unless you have that as you can have all the money and the world but unless the facility agrees it means nothing. They already raised the 20,000 but at the last minute they also canceled so now theyre just waiting to see if someone will step up and head to court. They dont have a definite court date according to marvin a week filled he says they are trying to stress the urgency to a judge out there. You have to hear our case is what they are same. Anny can the family still appeal . Will absolutely. The judge is not really open to appeal but it will probably present new information like they came back and shows that perhaps gets and ran activity or whatever the case may be but it appears that it is their right to go back to court should they have the opportunity to go back to court but thats still up to them. But a court can say we already made this decision so it is over. This is obviously a very fluid situation. All the options are on the table. Right now it appears very bleak at this moment.
