Baby Joseph Maraachli now in St. Louis

Baby Joseph has been moved to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri where he should receive a tracheotomy this week in the hope that he can be moved into nursing care close to the family’s home in Windsor.

From here:

The London hospital, where Joseph was treated since October, had refused to perform the tracheostomy and sought to remove his ventilator against his parents’ wishes.

Dr. Paul Byrne, a fifty-year veteran in the field of neonatology based in Ohio, however, has said that Joseph should have had a tracheostomy “a long time ago.”  He also insisted that he has never seen a need to remove a child’s ventilator.  “If a baby has a disease process that’s so bad that they’re going to die, then they die on the ventilator anyway,” he explained.

The LHSC continues to denounce the move as being “against medical advice”.

Here is an interview with his father and Fr. Frank Pavone:
