He was quickly transferred to UC Davis Medical Center to receive care, where he was listed as stable. His parents were told he would likely go home the next day, however that never happened. Israel began wheezing and gasping for air, and then went into cardiac arrest.

Six days later, Israel was transferred to Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center, where his parents were again told that Israel was brain-dead, and that the hospital\u00a0would be removing life support.<\/p>\n<p>The couple, also parents to a one-year-old girl, filed a petition in the state court for the hospital to be ordered to give Israel more time to heal. On May 13, U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller ruled that the hospital can remove the ventilator, but that life support would be extended until May 20, allowing the family time to file an emergency appeal, and find a long-term care facility for Israel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/AbortionProcedures.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-88619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg\" alt=\"levatino-ad-LAN\" width=\"306\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg 306w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s alive, he&#8217;s definitely alive,&#8221; Jonee Fonseca, Israel&#8217;s mother, told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/local\/health-and-medicine\/article77989217.html\">CBS Sacramento<\/a>. &#8220;Now not only is he responding to our touch and our voice, but I&#8217;ve seen him take breaths off the ventilator, it&#8217;s a very hopeful and good feeling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Neonatologist Dr. Paul Byrne told CBS Sacramento that he believes Israel could recover with proper treatment and that there must be a doctor somewhere in the United States that is willing to treat the boy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94524\" style=\"width: 622px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94524\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-94524 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-17-at-4.26.56-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-05-17 at 4.26.56 PM\" width=\"612\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-17-at-4.26.56-PM.png 612w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-17-at-4.26.56-PM-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-94524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israel&#8217;s parents, Jonee Fonseca and Nate Stinson (screenshot via KCRA)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Israel&#8217;s father, Nate Stinson, has said he has not lost hope and that he believes God is with them.<\/p>\n<p>Life-flight transportation is ready to moved Israel once a new facility has been secured.
