From the article on Baby Daniel:

'"I have concerns that Dixie may not be able to care for Daniel to maintain his multiple medical needs," wrote Sally Adams, a pediatric nurse practitioner at the hospital's low birth weight clinic. "I consider Daniel to [be] high risk for his multiple medical problems regardless of his home and social situation or his mother's problems."'

But yet they are so quick to take away his life support, including nourishment.

That's my concern. I'm not saying it's her fault that Daniel yanked his tube out initially. However, she seems to have a drug problem of some sort, and is taking care of her mom. The whole nicotine thing is BS, imo. What I'm wondering is if Mom abused drugs during her pregnancy. If a good foster care facility could be found, and Dixie could get liberal visitation, plus work on her own issues, maybe Daniel could survive.

There will come a time when they will remove the ventilator. I just hope they don't remove his food and water along with it.
