The Texas Supreme Court has denied the Cook Children's Medical Center's motion to expedite a decision in a battle whether to take the life support off of Tinslee Lewis or not.

According to WFAA, Tinslee has been on life support in the hospital since birth, as she was diagnosed with grave lung and heart problems. The machines help her breathe and eat.

Last month, the lawyers for Cook Children's asked the Supreme Court to rule on the case immediately because the one-year-old's health condition continues to worsen, according to a filed supplement to an emergency motion.

The hospital earlier said it wanted to remove Tinslee's life support, arguing that her condition will never improve and will only cause needless suffering.

The Cook Children's action is legal under Texas' controversial 10-day rule, which allows a hospital to end life-sustaining care even if the patient or his or her relatives oppose it.

Tinslee's family is fighting for her continued medical care and treatment. Tinslee was born in February 2019, and she stayed in the hospital since then because of her condition.

Tinslee's mother, Trinity Lewis, earlier said: "Cook's recent court filings don't tell the truth about my little girl's condition and show Cook's will say anything to have my daughter's life ended."

As per WFAA, there is no other hospital that volunteered to take in Tinslee as a patient. According to a court document filed last month, doctors and nurses said the baby, with one to two teeth, could not eat solid food and cannot cry due to medicine and treatment that the hospital has been court-ordered to do.

Since November last year, the hospital has already requested to end taking care of Tinslee.

Cook Children's hoped to expedite the Texas Supreme Court's review process and ruling due to Tinslee's continuous suffering. However, on Friday, the hospital's petition was denied, based on the court records.

Early this month, Tinslee's mother disputed the hospital's claims, saying they are lying about her daughter's condition.

Court documents noted that Tinslee is alone and isolated 99 percent of the time, except for medical staff. But Trinity said these were not true, and she visits her daughter every time she has a chance. She added that she had fought the hospital so their relatives can see Tinslee.

Cook Children's implemented a policy of one caregiver per patient in April as COVID-19 precautions. At the beginning of October, the system was adjusted to two caregivers per patient.

According to MSN, Tinslee's medical treatment has been the subject of several trials. After months of deliberation, the 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth decided to favor the family and allowed Tinslee to remain on life support. The decision was a reversal of a judge's ruling in January that the baby could be taken off life support.

In August, the hospital appealed to the Texas Supreme Court to review the appeals court's decision. The hospital said the ruling unlawfully declared a central provision of the Texas Advance Directives Act unconstitutional.

Last month, Tinslee's family and attorney, Joe Nixon, filed a response to the hospital's request. Trinity said she acknowledged that some medical procedures, including IV insertions, can cause pain, but Tinslee is not in agony.
