    Smith’s mother told local news that the baby weighs 1 pound and 13 ounces and will require care in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

    Yikes.

    Then again, if she was 9 weeks in when she was declared brain-dead, and that was February, it’s still only June. The baby was not much further than 25 weeks along. I know these neonatal doctors and nurses are miracle workers, but that may be asking too much.

      Jeez. I missed that detail.

      If you just read the headline, you might even think this is reasonable. Hooray, we saved a baby!

      But then you look into the details and it just gets worse and worse. I’m afraid for what will happen to this child.
