My brother is letting the doctors use the baby for research because it had something they couldn't explain and had not seen before. His levels of lactic acid, potassium, and glucose kept skyrocketing and they couldn't do anything to save him. The main doctor was an old Japanese guy who is supposedly one of the top infant surgeons in the world. I guess Tulsa has a really great children's hospital. All the doctors and nurses were crying and were just great at their jobs and very caring towards the family. I felt bad for them as well. It must be a difficult job to tell a mother that after she gave birth. They deserve a lot of credit.

Especially considering the rarity of the babys condition. A chance to learn from it could actually directly help someone else. A very selfless act in a time of great grief. Impressive people imo.

Yeah they're gonna let a group of genecitists (spelling?) research it. It was a combination of high glucose, potassium, and lactic acid levels. They couldnt do a damn thing to keep them down. The doctor was a 75 year old japanese man, and I respect the hell out of those docs and nurses. It takes major balls to walk into a room with 12 family members and a mother and father who just had a child and tell them there is nothing left to do. I couldnt do it.
