Cook Children s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas is seeking assistance from a state appeals court in their relentless pursuit to discontinue providing life-sustaining treatment to toddler Tinslee Lewis.
The two-year-old, who has been in the hospital since her premature birth, has a rare heart defect and suffers from chronic lung disease and severe chronic high blood pressure. Her family says her condition is improving, however, some doctors have indicated that Tinslee is suffering and she will not recover, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
CBN News previously reported the appeals court granted Tinslee emergency relief, meaning the hospital cannot stop her life support while the appeal is pending.

FORT WORTH, Texas Trinity Lewis, the mother of Tinslee Lewis is disputing claims that her 2-year-old daughter s condition has not improved and is asking for more time before the case goes to trial.

Citing court documents, the group Texas Right to Life released a statement Friday morning saying that Tinslee is improving. Lewis lawyers also filed a response Thursday to Cook Children s motion for an expedited scheduling order.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined an appeal from a Texas hospital seeking to overturn a lower court decision that prevented it from removing a baby girl’s life support.
The case of
Cook Children’s Medical Center v. Tinslee Lewis, et al. was one of several cases that the Supreme Court declined to hear Monday. The court’s refusal to hear the case leaves the lower court ruling temporarily preventing the Fort Worth, Texas-based Cook Children’s Medical Center from withdrawing life support from 23-month old Tinslee Lewis.
