(FORT WORTH, TX) – A Tarrant County judge is declining to extend a restraining order to keep a nine-year-old Grand Prairie girl on life support.

Payton Summons was rushed to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth on September 25th in cardiac arrest and doctors said that she was brain dead after a cancerous tumor cut off her circulation.  Her parents testified at yesterday’s hearing that they believe she can recover.  Payton’s family got a temporary restraining order preventing Cook Children’s from taking her off life support, in hopes of finding another hospital that would take her.

The restraining order will expire next Monday.
