She believes in asking God's permission for big life changes. I love her but we never talk religion for obvious reasons. Anyway, I was shocked when I went to her house tonight and she said she couldn't understand why the Mother could not let her go to Heaven & be w/God since she's dead. I was super shocked. She mentioned that God doesn't bring the living back and again I was shocked. I felt her attitude (my opinion) was that Jahi's Mother was making a mockery out of religion. She said she understood a Mother's love but that it was past time to let go.

Numerous medical authorities believe that McMath’s body may have deteriorated to the point that any attempt to introduce nutrients into her body other than intravenously will result in aspiration—a very serious complication"<br /><br />Where did this news of a condition where a feeding tube can't inserted come from? And what kind of specific condition prevents that? And since she has a breathing tube in place, their wouldn't be a chance of aspiration. Aspiration is liquid or solids entering the lungs. A breathing tube (if done properly) completely blocks the opening into the lungs and prevents aspiration. <br /><br />What the heck is going on??

The child died December 12th, 2013. Claiming you are using this money "to give medical treatment to a living person" is as fraudulent as you can get. I can't wait to see you go to prison. By accepting my $5.00 donation, you agree to use the money for one purpose and one purpose only: the medical treatment to sustain life of one living person, Jahi McMath. If it is discovered that you use my money for any other purpose than what you are soliciting it for, God help you.Coconutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-55125998738576159442014-01-13T17:05:01.234-08:002014-01-13T17:05:01.234-08:00thank you for this blog. thank you for this blog.
