He’s the fighter.
After the dramatics of yesterday, incuding the EU turning its back on Alfie and his parents to Italy offering the baby asylum and trying to save his life to his dad claiming heartless doctors switched off his life support and refused to turn it back on.
This morning we find Alfie is a fighter like his parents and he’s fighting for life.
He’s been breathing oj his own for 9 hours and finally doctors have given him oxygen.
According to “Steadfast Onlus” who are monitoring the situation:
“For 9 hours Alfie has been breathing on his own. It came to a point when Kate could actually fall asleep. Kate is asleep next to him. We are checking his stats. His oxygen level is below 70 because he is working. How long, after a few hours presumably breathing on his own, (Tom intervenes after a few minutes), at what point did the doctors intervene?
When I sat them down and told them that this is becoming like a crime. Starving him of food and hydration, starving him potentially of oxygen. Nutrients and water. So I sat down with the doctors. We had a meeting for about 40 minutes and they said you know what I am right and I was always right. He is not even suffering. Have the doctors given him any food or water? They left him without food, water and oxygen for 6 hours. He is working.
I felt blessed when they confirmed his water and now his oxygen. It is not changing his breathing, he is still breathing on his own, but his body is oxygenated. But he needs to be supported within the next hour or so. He has been doing this for 9 hours, but he will need to be supported within the next hour or so.”
Fight Alfie, fight!
