Abraham Fixsler, speaking before the inquest concluded, said he and his wife managed to build a relationship with Alta, who was a baby they both wanted and waited for “for quite a few years”.
“I used to talk to her a lot, I used to sing her songs,” he said of his time by his daughter’s bedside in hospital.
“We really loved her as part of the family.”
A lengthy court case led the High Court find in favour of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
The court ruled it was in Alta’s best interests to remove her life support, despite the objections of her family.
“Each time before we went to court I told her [Alta], ‘We are going to fight for you’,” Mr Fixsler said.
“Although she never answered, I was able to see sometimes when we sung to her… I could see her cry.”
