According to the report, Lauren's father and mother reached an agreement which involves sharing the responsibility of care of their incapacitated daughter.
Randy Richardson had brought a lawsuit against his ex-wife Towers, fighting to keep his daughter alive, after a Delaware court granted Towers custody of their daughter. Towers believed Lauren did not want to continue living in her current condition.
Lauren breathes on her own, is reportedly aware of her surroundings; can move and feel pain, her father says.
Matt Bowma, legal counsel with ADF who represented Richardson, said, "Everyone deserves a chance to recover. Life should be protected; not destroyed…"
