Charlie Gard 18

Ok guys, we have been very lucky to discuss this, please lets not give anyone anything to complain about, Mhq have been more than accomodating.

Gard: Court now adjourned to await arrival of the family’s specialist doctor.

Thanks for the new thread

[ItsNachoCheese]

Thank you for the continued tweets cjt110

[cjt110]

No trouble Fancy and Nacho

[BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings]

Thanks cjt.

I'm still following, just not commenting atm

[BabsGanoush]

So this new Dr is going to provide a weeks care in the hospice??

Will we have to adjourn to a later date whilst he visits CG at GOSH and reviews his notes??

[officeshoes]

Thank you.

Have they definitely agreed to hospice care and given up on home plan?

[LovelyBath77]

The Judge is in a difficult position I think, as he needs to rule in the child's best interests but that may not be the parent's choice. Very difficult. I hope they decide today though.

[Sirzy]

I hope the delay isn't too long. Surely while waiting the can be checking out his credentials?

[MontyPythonsFlyingFuck]

Reposting from end of #17:

The question about the apology to KGQC presumably relates to this tweet from V McA at the end of yesterday's hearing:

Parents barrister Armstrong goes a over to GOSH'a Gollop after Jude leaves saying "just wrong" to have said the time period in open court

[blueskyinmarch]

Time for a quick dog walk while court is adjourned!

[CremeFresh]

An awful thought - what if Charlie passes whilst in transit ( or is this not possible ?) Who will take the blame?

[LapinR0se]

On front page of Time today it says CH 'set to sped final days in care hospice'

[Deux]

Sorry can't copy tweet but CGF said that a company will provide a ventilator.

[Yamayo]

Thanks for new thread

[Ceto]

Why take on such a high profile case for free then?

Partly because it is high profile, partly out of a sense of social responsibility, I suspect. Thank goodness they did: otherwise the parents would be doing all this on their own.

[onalongsabbatical]

I just lost my rag and tweeted to Catherine Glenn Foster told her how interestingly selective her tweets were - she left out the judge refuting the socialised medicine bollocks. Completely ignored it. Sorry/not sorry.

[KindleBueno]

Yy Sirzy - confirming the credentials surely shouldn't be a huge task. Can't believe it's being held up because a witness can't get there in time

[DorotheaBeale]

Surely while waiting the can be checking out his credentials?

They haven't got his CV.

Has anyone asked the hospice if they can accommodate them for a week? They weren't offering that, were they?

[Babieseverywhere]

I am confused...if the family are now agreeing to move to hospice care, why do they need a doctor?

[Sostenueto]

Place marking.

[Ellie56]

I thought it wasn't possible to have a ventilator long term in a hospice?

[therootoftheroot]

bbc news just said that parent's medical expert 'not a paediatric intensivist'

[onalongsabbatical]

Doctor to come, testify to care for Charlie; nurses from Gosh volunteer to stay with Charlie; a ventilator will be provided by a company.

[Nicknacky]

Thing is, it's not just going to be a week today is it? It sounds like Connie wants a week at home/hospice so will it be a week plus time to arrange that?
