'Baby Joseph' going home"Baby Joseph," brought to America from Canada after doctors refused to provide treatment so he could go home, is doing well.

 

Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life tells OneNewsNow infant Joseph Maraachli was successfully treated at a St. Louis hospital.
 
"Baby Joseph is now free from all tubes, machines, ventilators, and assistance," says Pavone. "He is breathing on his own just like you and me, and he has been taken home. He is with his parents in their apartment in Windsor, Canada."
 
In Canada, the child would have been sent home to die, but Pavone says Baby Joseph defied the "culture of death" and is alive today. Priests for Life is handling medical expenses for the family.
