Annie Bishop

Annie Bishop is a child who had a cardiac tumor.

History
Annie had a cardiac tumor. She was scheduled to have the tumor removed. Noah Barnes operated, but wasn't able to get the whole tumor. He said he believed chemo would shrink it more and then he'd be able to remove the rest in another month. Annie didn't believe them, as that's what they'd said the last time. She said she didn't want more surgery.

A month later, after chemo, her labs looked good. She said she still didn't want the surgery. She talked to Cooper and said that she wanted to feel good for a little bit and live her life and be normal for a while before she died. Her parents and doctors had a meeting and Cooper stood up for her, saying that stopping the treatment might be the best thing for her. Noah still insisted he could help, but her parents decided they wanted to take her home. Cooper went to take her catheter out, but Charlotte stopped him, saying Noah was going to a judge to get a court order. Judge McLennan came in and ruled that her catheter would stay in and she'd have the surgery on the first available date.

After another month, Annie was upset. She believed she'd die in the hospital. After seeing her condition, Charlotte King went to Noah and said she supported the decision to end treatment and questioned who Noah was really fighting for. Noah went to Cooper and said he wouldn't push anymore. He told the judge he reevaluated his position. Annie was told that once the catheter was out, it would be hard to get it back in, meaning they wouldn't be able to get medicine to her fast enough if something went wrong. Annie said it was okay and that she'd finally get to see the ocean.

A month later, on Annie's 13th birthday, she had a party on the beach and was able to surf and talk to her friends.

Familial
Annie's parents supported her decision to end treatment and live her life.
