Do Not Resuscitate Order Lifted

Charlotte Wyatt was born prematurely at St. Mary's hospital on the 21st of October 2003. She weighed 458 grams (about a pound) and was barely five inches long. Three times in her short life she had to be re-ventilated. Despite her doctor's predictions and a court ruling last Fall imposing a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order on her, Charlotte lived and is thriving.

Earlier this year a Judge decided against removing the DNR from Charlotte and her parents appealed.

Today, after a long and well fought battle, British High Court Mr. Justice Hedley lifted the Do Not Resuscitate Order!

Charlotte�s parents issued this statement:

Darren and Debbie are very happy that the order what has been hanging over Charlotte for over a year now has been lifted as this has caused a huge strain on their lives.

Truth and Action has more.

Hat Tip: jacquefromtexas - Today, Justice Hedley lifted the order refusing her emergency medical care--today is also Charlotte's second birthday.

Update: Winterr has more

Im very glad that the order has been lifted from Charlotte, and this is a time where I would have assumed all would agree that this is a good thing. I have been surprised to hear so many people complain that saving Charlotte is wasted tax payers money. What price do they put on life then? Reading comments from places such as this, really surprised me http://alarmingnews.com/archives/003863.html proves that we have a huge fight for the value of life on our hands, well when it comes to money
