FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) A Texas hospital is asking a state appeals court to take steps to overturn a ruling that forced it to continue providing life-sustaining treatment for a toddler who doctors say is in pain and will never recover.
Cook Children’s Medical Center filed an appeal April 16 asking the 48th District Court of Fort Worth to quickly schedule a new trial date to decide whether 2-year-old Tinslee Lewis should be removed from life support.
The Fort Worth hospital said it has spent $24 million in Medicaid funds to keep Tinslee alive and that her condition only continues to deteriorate. The hospital says Tinslee cannot feel anything except pain.

While the 2021 NFL draft ended on Saturday, the annual selection process wasn t over with the final pick. Teams scrambled after the draft to sign undrafted free agents, treating many of them like additional draft selections with a price tag.
It has become an increasingly frequent practice to pay top undrafted free agents like late draft picks in order to bring them into the fold. Why? Because undrafted players can have immense value.
Take running back James Robinson for example. He produced more than 1,400 scrimmage yards in 2021 after not hearing his name called on draft day.
