The Rasouli case was similar to the much-publicized Baby Joseph case, with doctors seeking permission to remove life-support against the family's wishes.
Brother Paul O’Donnell told LifeSiteNews that Joseph was weaned off ventilator support 12 days ago and has been successfully breathing on his own since then.
Baby Joseph Maraachli was airlifted Sunday night to a children’s hospital in St. Louis, Missouri thanks to Priests for Life. Doctors at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center are now evaluating Baby Joseph's condition and developing a treatment plan.
Fr. Frank Pavone said Monday that U.S. hospitals have agreed to oversee Joseph's outpatient care, but that they need the Canadian hospital to release his medical records.
Father Frank Pavone said that U.S. hospitals they are negotiating with "have shown compassion but unfortunately, so far, not one has agreed to take Baby Joseph."
