A 10-year-old boy who was swept into a storm drain while helping his family clean up storm debris is being kept on life support so that his organs can be donated, according to his father.
The boy, Asher Sullivan, “officially passed away” on May 18, but remains on life support to facilitate the organ donation process, his dad, Jimmy Sullivan, wrote in a Facebook post.
“It’s 100% an ‘Asher’ type thing to do in continuing to be selfless,” Sullivan shared on Facebook. “He will have an honor walk at the hospital in the next few days and be celebrated as he is, a hero!”
I hear “the doctors will give up on me more easily” if they even have an argument they can put into words. Which seems ridiculous to me - if they even bother to check, it seems like they’d be more willing to put time and effort into keeping your body intact, giving you a better chance to bounce back despite long odds
