Agreement reached on how to move Jahi from hospital

The family must assume all responsibility for Jahi once they take her out of Children’s Hospital.

While the family made progress in court Friday, Jahi’s mother said her daughter is making progress in her hospital bed. Nailah Winkfield said she has noticed movement in Jahi’s feet, legs, arms and upper body.

Winkfield disagrees with the Alameda County Coroner’s Office issuing a death certificate on Friday. Winkfield claimed the certificate was not immediately produced, but she requested one because it was a requirement by Children’s Hospital in order to allow for Jahi’s release.

Children’s Hospital Attorney Douglas Straus said the certificate reflects reality.

“It’s one more piece of evidence that confirms Jahi McMath is deceased,” Straus said.

The family said as they move forward they will not disclose where or when they will be moving Jahi out of Children’s Hospital. They are asking for privacy in the very public battle over life and death.

“I will fight for Jahi every day until my heart stops or her heart stops,” Winkfield said. “I will always fight for Jahi.”
