Baby Tinslee's mother waged a court battle to keep doctors from removing her from life-sustaining treatment after invoking Texas' so-called '10-day rule.'

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A 3-year-old Texas girl whose mother has waged a court battle to keep doctors from removing her from life-sustaining treatment has improved enough that she was released from the hospital last week and will now be cared for at home, a group that's been advocating for her said.

"It's encouraging to see that the family and the hospital did get to work together so much that Tinslee was benefitted and actually gets to go home," Texas Right to Life spokeswoman Kimberlyn Schwartz said Wednesday.The case has been making its way through the courts since November 2019, when the hospital had planned to remove Tinslee from life support after invoking Texas' so-called"10-day rule.

Texas Right to Life spokeswoman Kimberlyn Schwartz said that within the last year or so"the hospital and the family have worked well together."Tinslee had been hospitalized since her premature birth in February 2019. The hospital has said she was born with a rare heart defect and suffered from chronic lung disease and severe chronic high blood pressure. She was put on a ventilator several months after her birth after going into respiratory arrest, the hospital has said.
