online I think any shift to acceptance of brain damage now will be accompanied by more blame for gosh that either they have allowed this to happened by denying treatment, by negligence or by deliberate act.
Certainly it reads that way. But in time, who knows. Would they have the will for another doomed battle when there is no tiny life left to fight for ? Would somebody take the case if the evidence indicated it was a lost cause ? Time will tell, but I don't think it is a given that another court case will follow this one after Charlie has died.
What is a real and present issue for them is that they are between a rock and hard place with CA. They provided and encouraged the strongly held belief in the group that there was no brain damage, that there was a realistic hope for the treatment to work.
Even if they now believed they had been mistaken and GOSH had not lied/misdiagnosed, can you immagine what would happen to them if they shared that thought with CA ?
For now, given that (if genuine) it suggests the avoidance of a couple sitting there feeling like their child is being needlessly executed in front of them, this change of tense is a potentially a very good thing.
There was never going to be any bed of roses exit to this case. But in the grand scheme of how things could be much worse, it is very much something if the parents now accept how very badly, and irretrievably, hurt their baby is. So hopefully they can hold him as they let him go, rather than fighting the diagnosis to the bitter end, and possibly to the point of being excluded from the room when Charlie leaves them forever.
