This case was just posted. Someone can start a Westhoff thread if desired. The surgeries and problems were entirely different. The Westhoff's lost one daughter and her twin did fine with her surgery. I feel badly for them.
What matters for the McMath situation, is the Westhoff's visit to the McMath's as they were preparing to sue CHO. Plus, Dolan is quoted. He is not presently an Westhoff attorney.
Yesterday there was a local news story saying that she's been at St. Peter's Children's Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. The article pointed out that New Jersey is the only state in the country that requires hospitals to accomodate brain dead patients "who belong to a religion that does not accept the diagnosis as a final verdict for death."
The hospital wouldn't verify if she is actually there or not.

I've actually had a feeling I needed to search for any info on the teen. Thanks for the link. I wonder how her care is being paid for? Before others ask what difference it makes to me, none if it's private donations. A lot if it is a third party payor who probably already has re-written policy about what the will cover. If it's a governmental program, tax payers may prefer those dollars for other purposes.
I wonder if the attorney ever filed a lawsuit in CA?
1) The money has run out. "Dolan confirmed the state taxpayer could become responsible for the medical costs if Jahi was declared alive"
2) All the information we have recently is via the family's lawyer, Dolan.
3) The "medical expert" who says Jahi now responds to commands is a clinical psychologist, not a physician. And a very controversial psychologist at that:
The videos are meaningless without clinical corroboration from a physician. It's not unusual for the human body to have involuntary movements. We have no idea if these movements were intentional, or whether they are regular spasms.

I read that she had an MRI and EEG at Rutgers. But I don't know if that's sufficient. In any case I imagine that some court ordered physicians would have to run tests on Jahi if the Judge even considers revoking the death certificate. So the truth will be known sooner or later.

Agreed. Then it remains to be seen if the family will accept the outcome.
