6 months ago The baby was born with a huge amount of brain damage, and he was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Dementia Phosphatidoxylinositol-6-phosphate (DPP6), which causes irreversible damage to the brain and central nervous system.
The family decided to try and keep the baby alive by taking him to a hospital.
The hospital was not equipped with artificial ventilation or artificial gravity and the baby died on arrival.
A doctor said he was still breathing, but the child was in a vegetative state and died after five days.
His mother, who has cerebral palsy, was given the chance to leave him to die, but she refused.
She decided to go to a funeral home, where she gave birth to a baby girl.
She was not able to walk and could not lift her daughter, but when she came to, she could not stop crying.
The mother then went to a private hospital in China and took the baby back to the United States.
She then went back to China to ask for help.
“I said to my sister, ‘What are you doing?
Why are you crying?'” she said.
“She told me, ‘I don’t know.
It’s just my body.'”
The baby is now recovering at home, and the family has set up a GoFundMe page for him.
“This is a story about how one mom tried to save her child,” the family said.
