Four-Year-Old Boy Defies Odds After Life Support Removal
UK judge lifts treatment restrictions as child, once expected to die, shows unexpected progress and now lives at home with parents.
- NR, a four-year-old boy with severe brain abnormalities, was expected to die after life support was withdrawn.
- High Court previously ruled that life-sustaining ventilation was not in NR's best interest based on medical advice.
- NR has not only survived but made significant progress, no longer requiring invasive interventions.
- Judge Poole has lifted declarations that allowed doctors to withhold CPR or certain treatments.
- NR now enjoys a better quality of life, including outdoor activities, and lives at home with his devoted parents.
