Alfie Evans was born a healthy baby boy. Beautiful and loved, within a few months, his parents started noticing he was very sleepy and wasn’t meeting milestones as he should. According to the petition on change.org, after a pattern of seizures of unknown etiology and several lung infections, Alfie has been continuously hospitalized since December of 2016 in the pediatric intensive care unit at Alder Hey Hospital. Staff has refused to do a tracheostomy just as they did in the Haastraup case despite the fact the child has required long term breathing assistance due to repeated infections.
