In her first public update in over a month, Jahi’s mother, Nailah Winkfield, released a letter on Facebook informing her followers of Jahi’s status, stating that she sees changes in her daughter that “give [her] hope.”
Winkfield said she has spent the past month focusing on Jahi’s health, and she had to withdraw from the public eye for safety and privacy reasons.
In the letter, Winkfield also thanked everyone who had supported her as she fought to move her daughter to another medical facility. “Because of your unselfish generosity I was able to do what I was afraid I would never be able to do, move my daughter from Children's Hospital Oakland before they removed her from her ventilator and stopped her heart,” Winkfield wrote. “This was itself a miracle. Please know that all of the support we received has been used towards helping Jahi.”

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is life, there is hope.
I pray she comes out of it.
None of us can judge this family as to what's right or wrong in this situation. These are difficult, heart-wrenching decisions.
The important thing is, it's the family's decision, not the doctor's decision, and not the hospital's decision.
This hospital and its attorney need to learn some respect and humility, especially after its surgery went awry and caused this tragedy.
The fact that Jahi's heart is still beating at all shows that the medical so-called professionals were wrong.
If they had simply given the family some time to make their decisions, the outcome might be very different.
