It has been more than eight months since the brain-dead teenager left Oakland after a failed surgery and went east to a facility in New Jersey, the one place to agree to treat a brain-dead patient.
As Jahi left, so did her family. Her mother, Nailah Winkfield, her stepfather, Jahi's younger sister and nurses now live with Jahi at a New Jersey home, where she is hooked up to various machines to feed her and keep her organs functioning. Winkfield's other children, her mother, a future grandson, and Jahi's friends remain in their native Oakland.
The mother, with attorney Christopher Dolan, her mother and her brother at her side, vowed on Friday to fight to bring Jahi home.
"I'm homesick. I want to come home. Our family is so separated and broke up," Winkfield said Friday at Dolan's office in San Francisco. "I left here with one suitcase. I didn't know where I was going."
This week, Dolan and Winkfield filed court documents asking a court to reverse its earlier ruling confirming findings by the Alameda County Coroner's Office and three doctors that Jahi is brain dead. They say new evidence from a team of neurologists and researchers shows that Jahi has suffered severe brain injuries but shows some signs of life.
