The potential breakthrough came earlier Friday when Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo said Jahi could be transferred under a deal with Children's Hospital that will hold the girl's mother, Nailah Winkfield accountable, for developments that could include Jahi going into cardiac arrest.
"She's definitely showing the improvements," Winkfield said Friday. "If I felt that my child was suffering in any type of way, I would not keep her on that machine. I love her that much that I would let her go. But because I see those improvements every day, I will fight for Jahi every day until my heart stops or her heart stops."

Winkfield, refusing to believe her daughter is dead as long as her heart is beating, has gone to court to stop the machine from being disconnected. She wants to transfer Jahi to another facility and hoped to force Children's Hospital either to insert the tubes or to allow an outside doctor to do the procedures.
Grillo on Friday rejected the family's move to have the hospital insert the tubes, noting the girl could be moved with the ventilator and intravenous fluid lines she has now. He also refused to compel the hospital to permit an outside doctor perform the procedures on its premises.
