The third option, was that ventilation and feeds would continue but that all other medication would end. This would mean that Archie would die in a matter of hours-days probably due to organ failure caused by fluid loss from his diabetes insipidus. Justice Hayden dismissed this idea fairly swiftly, and rightly too, because all this care plan would do is deliberately make Archie medically unstable before his death.
Why the hospital were even considering this idea, I don't know. All its done has caused more confusion because the High Court judges had no access to the doctor's oral evidence and it wasn't included in the high court judgement.
