Haleigh Poutre Update

Earlier on this blog, I reported on the case of an 11-year old girl, Haleigh Poutre, who was removed from life support after the Massachusetts Department of Social Services obtained court permission.

Instead of dying as expected, she has continued to improve.  She is no longer on a ventilator and “she can now move her eyes toward sound.”  USA Today, Jan. 27, 2006.
