Emilio Gonzales cannot breathe on his own and must have nutrition and water pumped into him, according to the hospital.
• NEW: Judge rules baby should be kept on life support
• Hospital invoked Texas law to allows it to end baby's life-sustaining treatment
• The family of 17-month-old Emilio Gonzales wanted to keep the boy alive
• Doctors say treatment causes the boy to suffer without any medical benefit
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A Texas judge Tuesday granted a family's request to keep their critically ill baby alive, ruling that the boy should not be removed from life-support equipment as the hospital had planned.
Children's Hospital of Austin has been caring for 17-month-old Emilio Gonzales since December and says the effort is futile and the child is suffering without medical benefit. It invoked a state law that allows hospitals to end life-sustaining treatment in such cases with 10 days notice to the family.
Emilio's mother, Catarina Gonzales, 23, does not believe her only son is nonresponsive and says the boy smiles and turns his head toward voices.
Probate Judge Guy Herman set a hearing for April 19 for both sides to present evidence in the case.
"I feel very relieved because we have more time," said Jerri Ward, an attorney for the Gonzales family.
Doctors and a hospital ethics panel determined the treatment is causing the boy to suffer without providing any medical benefit, said Michael Regier, general counsel for the Seton Family of Hospitals, which includes the children's hospital.
The boy is believed to have Leigh's Disease, a progressive illness difficult to diagnose. He cannot breathe on his own, must have nutrition and water pumped into him, and cannot swallow or make purposeful movements, Regier said. He said Emilio's higher order brain functions are destroyed.
The boy's family has had difficulty finding another medical facility that will care for the boy, though Gonzales said Tuesday they had several promising leads.
Emilio has health coverage through Medicaid, and the hospital contends money is not part of its decision.
The state Legislature, meanwhile, is considering changing the futile care law.

Iran says it plans to release a book and CD detailing the arrest and detention of 15 British sailors and marines, pictured above, whom Tehran blames for illegally crossing into Iranian waters.
While in custody, some of the captives confessed on video to straying into Iranian territorial waters. They recanted those confessions once they returned to Britain on Thursday.
