Indiana Mother Fights to Keep Daughter Alive Despite Her Being Declared Dead
Taking her daughter from life support went “against my beliefs,” Kosarue said. “I believe when your heart stops beating and your body shuts down is when you’re dead.”
Believing her daughter was still alive, Kosarue asked a judge for a temporary restraining order to keep Treasure on the ventilator helping her breathe. The mother said the girl showed improvement in the days leading up to the final hour, NBC News reports. Treasure squeezed Kosarue’s hand “like a quick couple of seconds,” and her pupils were reactive to light, she said. Before being hospitalized, Treasure was an outgoing, affectionate girl who spent the summer working to save up to buy a car.
“God can work a miracle, but I know it’s down to the wire,” Kosarue said hours before the order expired.
Other hospitals refused to take in Treasure unless she had a tracheotomy, a procedure in which a hole is made in the windpipe to help with breathing. Riley Hospital would not perform a tracheotomy because she was considered clinically dead.
“I’m so mad, Bro. So many people failed my sister. I failed my sister,” wrote Trinity Perry, one of Treasure’s seven siblings, on social media early last Friday.
In another case that is similar to Treasure, doctors said Nailah Winkfield’s daughter Jahi McMath was brain dead after tonsil surgery in 2013 in California. The coroner signed a death certificate, however, Winkfield said it went against her religious beliefs. Jahi had exhibited signs of life through movements. Her mom got her transferred to a hospital in New Jersey, where she died five years later from excessive bleeding and liver failure after surgery to treat an intestinal issue, NBC News reported.
