an ohio hospital is appealing for guardianship of a 10-year-old amish girl. otherwise, the hospital says the girl will die. as a-j ross reports, the girl has leukemia -- and her parents have decided to stop her chemotherapy. a pending legal battle between doctors at akron children's hospital and an amish couple from medina county could easily mean life or death for 10-year- old sarah hershberger. "the good news is with treatment currently the prognosis is about 85% five year survival so this is a very treatable illness." sarah was diagnosed with leukemia and t-cell lymphoma in april. her parents initially consented to chemo, but ordered doctors to stop. "her family opted to not continue additional traditional chemotherapy and was seeking more of a holistic or natural way of treating this disease."

doctor rob mcgregor says the hospital's ethics committee pleaded with sarah's parents to resume chemo. with her cancer growing and becoming more resistant to treatment, the hospital then filed a lawsuit seeking emergency guardianship over sarah. "her family is advocating for what they think is in her best interest." "however, it's our obligation to do what's ethically and legally right by the child." according to court records sarah's parents quote" believed chemotherapy was killing her." the court also received a note from sarah stating "pleeeaasse let my parents take care of me. i feel like running and playing and working again." on july 31st, a medina county probate judge denied the hospital's application for guardianship. akron children's is now appealing that decision. appealing that decision. now we'll hagoodnight.ts
