Texas: Miracles Do Happen!

It was looking quite bleak for 17-month- old Emilio Gonzales on the morning of Tuesday, April 10, 2007. ( Emilio is suspected of having Leigh's Disease, which is a progressive disease that eventually leads to death.) If a miracle didn't occur, or a judge didn't intercede, he would once again be at the mercy of Brackenridge Children's Hospital of Austin. A hospital and it's so-called ethics committee that had decided to invoke the futile care law in spite of the family's wishes to keep the toddler alive and receiving care.

A hearing was scheduled at the Travis County courthouse on the same day the hospital had set as the deadline for little Emilio to either be transferred or terminated. A day full of intense emotions, no doubt. But then it happened. Probate Judge Guy Herman ordered the hospital to continue treating little Emilio and scheduled a hearing for April 19th to hear the arguments from both sides. A reprieve, which proves it. Miracles do happen and sometimes they actually happen at the hands of judges. This one did!
