By Richard Alleyne In Oakland PUBLISHED: 12:04 EST, 1 January 2014 | UPDATED: 16:04 EST, 1 January 2014 The grandmother of a 13-year-old girl at the center of a battle to turn off her life-support machine said she is devastated because the last words spoken to the terrified teenager were hers, saying everything would be OK. Sandra Chatman, a nurse, said she held Jahi McMath’s hand as she suffered complications following a routine tonsil operation and reassured her that the doctors knew what they were doing. But just minutes later Jahi’s heart stopped and caused so much brain damage that those same doctors now want to turn off the ventilator that keeps her alive.
