A Mexican family, facing deportation from the U.S. after a legal status termination, sparks outrage due to their young daughter S.G.V.'s critical medical condition. Receiving care for her short bowel syndrome in California, S.G.V.'s health is at risk if she loses access to her daily Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Medical experts warn that interruption of her treatment could be fatal, raising serious ethical concerns amidst ongoing protests by immigration advocates against deportation policies.
If there is an interruption in her daily nutrition system, called Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), this could be fatal within a matter of days.
Patients on home TPN are not allowed to leave the country because the infrastructure to provide TPN... does not transfer across borders.
