HOUSTON<\/strong> – <\/span>Texas Children\u2019s Hospital says they have “exhausted all medically viable options” and requested transfer to 24 other hospitals for a 2-year-old girl who has been hospitalized at the facility since a Memorial Day drowning incident.<\/p>\n

While Annelise Camp has been receiving treatment at Texas Children’s Hospital, her parents have been working to transfer her to another facility while pursuing legal action to keep treatment options available.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Per a court order, brain death testing was scheduled to begin on Friday while the hospital maintained supportive care pending a June 11 hearing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Texas Children\u2019s Hospital released a statement saying, “Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the family and their loved ones during this difficult time. Our expert and dedicated clinical team have exhausted all medically viable options and we continue to work tirelessly to honor the family\u2019s wishes while following legal guidelines. As such, per the family\u2019s request, we have already delayed testing for a week and have formally requested transfer to an unprecedented 24 hospitals. This is a tragic and heartbreaking situation and we will continue to do what is in the best interest of the patient from a clinical and ethical standpoint. Out of respect for the family\u2019s privacy, we are unable to comment further.”<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Memorial Day drowning incident<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to her father, the family was visiting relatives on Memorial Day when Annelise somehow returned to a hotel pool after taking off her life jacket.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Family members pulled her from the water and began CPR before first responders arrived.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Johnston Camp\u00a0told FOX 26 it took nearly an hour before his daughter\u2019s heartbeat returned. Since then, she has remained hospitalized at Texas Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Camp said the family became concerned after a physician recommended Annelise be declared brain dead two days after she was admitted to the hospital. The family believes additional time could make a difference.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“If there’s that 1% chance or that 5% chance of results, we’re going to take it,” Camp said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also told FOX 26 that his family wants to ensure Annelise is given every possible opportunity to recover.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“If you give her the best opportunity, and she makes it, and she survives, and she keeps progressing, she’s going to have a lifelong of testimonies,” he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Family seeks more time<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The family previously obtained a temporary restraining order in Harris County. Court records show a subsequent agreement between the family and Texas Children’s Hospital allowed brain death testing to move forward while maintaining supportive care pending a June 11 hearing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The agreement stated brain death testing was expected to begin Friday, June 5, or as soon as clinical criteria are met.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The documents also indicate Texas Children’s agreed to cooperate with efforts to transfer Annelise to another medically appropriate facility willing to accept her.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A hearing on the family’s request for additional relief is scheduled for June 11.<\/p>\n
