Life-support treatment has been withdrawn from eight-month-old Indi Gregory, the critically ill baby at the centre of a legal battle, according to Christian Concern, a campaign organisation supporting her parents. Indi had been transferred from Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham to a hospice after stopping breathing on Saturday night and subsequently recovering.
Despite her resilience, Indi’s parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, have consistently contested multiple UK court rulings that called for the withdrawal of life support. Indi, diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease, has been receiving life-sustaining treatment since her birth in February.
The emotional journey to the hospice reportedly involved police security, and Indi was said to have been relaxed and slept during the transfer. Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, appealed for prayers for the parents, stating that they are by Indi’s side, keeping watch over their precious daughter.
This heartbreaking situation follows a recent legal battle where a High Court judge refused to permit Indi’s transfer to Italy for treatment.
