RegretFULLY
Beloved of All
TOLEDO, Ohio (John Seewer, Associated Press 10:34 p.m. EST December 6, 2013 for USA TODAY ) — A court-appointed guardian is dropping her attempt to force an 11-year-old Amish girl -Sarah Hershberger- with leukemia to resume chemotherapy after she and her parents fled their home to avoid treatment. Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital believe Sarah's leukemia is treatable, but say she will die within a year if she halts chemotherapy. The hospital went to court after the family decided to stop chemotherapy and treat Sarah with natural medicines, such as herbs and vitamins.
