Her daughter was declared dead. Despite hospital objections, she believes she was alive.

An Indianapolis mother whose 17-year-old daughter suffered a severe allergy and asthma attack and was pronounced brain dead days later was faced with a harrowing decision.

An Indianapolis woman whose 17-year-old daughter suffered a severe allergy and asthma attack at work and was pronounced brain dead days later was faced with a harrowing predicament: let the hospital remove her daughter from life support or block it and find another facility willing to take her before then.

"God can work a miracle, but I know it's down to the wire," Angela Kosarue said Thursday morning, hours before a temporary restraining order was set to expire that prevented doctors at Riley Hospital for Children in downtown Indianapolis from withdrawing her daughter, Treasure Perry, from life support.

A court last Friday initially gave her daughter more time on a ventilator, writing that "the injury suffered by the Plaintiff will be irreparable, in that if life-sustaining measures are terminated, the Plaintiff will likely be deceased."

But a judge on Wednesday declined to extend a deadline, and Treasure's family said the hospital took her off the ventilator on Thursday afternoon.

"She was an amazing niece, sister, aunt, daughter and granddaughter," Skylee Kosarue, an aunt of Treasure, said. "We never gave up on her — the doctors failed her and us."
