Charlie Gard has reportedly been granted permanent resident status in the U.S. thanks to an amendment passed by Congress.
Congress passed an amendment granting “permanent resident status to Charlie Gard and family so Charlie can get the medical treatment he needs,” Nebraska Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska tweeted Tuesday.
Permanent U.S. residency for Gard would mean his parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, would not need permission from U.K. doctors to fly him to America for treatment.
Born a little less than a year ago, Gard suffers from a faulty gene that has left him unable to move or breath on his own.
