Jahi McMath “much better,” mom says (Brain Dead Oakland Girl)

More than a month since she was moved from Children’s Hospital in Oakland, Jahi McMath — who was declared dead in December — is “much better physically” and “not suffering,” according to her family.

In her first post since the 13-year-old Oakland girl was taken to an undisclosed facility and given feeding and tracheostomy tubes, Nailah Winkfield, Jahi McMath’s mother, wrote on Facebook Wednesday that she sees in her daughter “changes that give me hope.” 

“I know people are concerned and I want to make sure you know that Jahi is not suffering, she is surrounded by love,” she said. “I will never let her suffer.”

Three different doctors declared Jahi dead due to brain death following complications from a surgery to remove her tonsils, adenoids and other tissue as a treatment for sleep apnea.
