AKRON, Ohio -- A Summit County probate judge will hold a hearing on the fate of a 5-month-old Mansfield baby Wednesday.
Judge Bill Spicer must decide whether Aiden Stien will live or die after doctors say he was shaken so hard that he is now brain dead, NewsChannel5 reported.
The baby's father is being investigated on charges of shaking of him. Aiden suffered severe skull and brain injuries
while in his father's care on March 15.
The baby's parents are fighting attempts by doctors
at Akron Children's Hospital to withdraw life support for their
comatose son.
Arica Heimlich and Matthew Stein
say they believe miracles can happen.
