MANSFIELD, Ohio -- The battle over what should be done with a 16-month-old comatose child continued in a Mansfield courtroom Monday.

Attorneys involved in the case of Aiden Stein tried to reach a possible settlement over who should have custody of the child, and if he should be removed from life support.

Attorneys for Aiden's parents believe the child is making progress and doing things on his own, such as sitting up, rolling over, and opening his eyes.

SLIDESHOW: Comatose Baby

But the child's maternal grandmother, Laurie Snyder, secretly took photos of the baby, and feels he should be removed from life support.

Snyder said she and the baby's mother, Arica Heimlich, are estranged. She said that the baby is not progressing, and that Heimlich is keeping the baby alive to protect his father, Matthew Stein.

Doctors have diagnosed Aiden with shaken baby syndrome and said he had a previous brain injury. Stein has been under investigation for the boy's injuries, but has not been charged.

Stein has denied harming his son.

The baby's paternal grandmother is willing to take custody of Aiden and would favor decisions to keep him alive, a judge was told.

There is a possibility this case could be settled some time this week.

Aiden has been in a vegetative state for almost a year.
