Nope, she's not dead yet! Her parents have her hooked up to everything imaginable & have been talking to a retired neurologist, Dr. Alan Shewmon. The family filed papers to revoke her CA death certificate & we should have an answer in the coming weeks.Judge to REVERSE death certificate of brain-dead girl | Daily Mail Online

MunoRN, RN 8,058 Posts Specializes in Critical Care. Has 10 years experience. Jul 25, 2017 According the article, Dr. Shewmon is claiming Jahi is not brain dead, although it also states Jahi has not yet undergone any of the tests that define brain death (not since her previous brain death declaration).

I'd need to see something more credible to believe "poised to reverse death certificate".That was the first article I saw about it. Now there are articles everywhere.Jahi McMath's family wins backing for argument that she's alive - San Francisco ChronicleI wouldn't trust the videos they made as "proof" Jahi is alive.
livelovelaugh22 30 Posts Has 2 years experience. Jul 26, 2017 Oh dear... I understand that she is a child, but there is no recovery from brain death. I'm so glad that I know my loved one's wishes, because no matter how much it hurts, I'd rather allow them to die with dignity than be subjected to unnecessary procedures.

Emjay274 32 Posts Jul 26, 2017 I'm mostly curious who is paying for all of her care. Her family doesn't have a pot to piss in, so these many many millions of dollars in medical care are being paid for by whom?? I understand the state/hospital/taxpayers footing the bill for a child with a life expectancy. But a child that is dead? Anyone that is dead?? I've seen websites talk about how she's supposedly decomposing very slowly, and that's why there have been no new pics in years. When there is a pic, it's with a filter and tons of make-up, fake nails, etc. The old pics show her still very overweight, which wouldn't likely be the case since she's only being fed through a feeding tube. Eyes glued shut. Lots of weirdness. I'm just posting links. I am not saying they are great sources, because I haven't worked around life support patients, hospice, or anything like that. Maybe some very experienced nurses can speak to some of the claims in here.
