The child's mother showed very poor judgement leaving a toddler with a
woman who can't take care of herself, let alone a small child.

NOONE gets to 1000 pounds (half of a ton) from a thyroid problem!

She MUST eat too much, move to little, or have the biggest/heaviest tumor that consumes her ENTIRE body to be that big

I know thyroid issues can cause weight gain, but I HIGHLY doubt it causes half a ton of fat to accumulate

Wanted to add: I am sensitive to issues of weight. I know women and men struggle with that everyday. It is a shame. I myself wish I could lose 15 pounds

BUT for a child killer, no sympathy from me!

EDINBURG — Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, the nearly 1,000-pound woman under house arrest and accused of killing her 2-year-old nephew, waived her arraignment and court appearance Monday on capital murder and other charges.

State District Judge Ricardo Rodriguez readily accepted the waiver and not-guilty pleas because of the logistical problems of transporting Rosales to court, saying guidelines allowed waivers to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

But Rodriguez made clear a trial would require Rosales' physical presence. He said he understood a number of issues would have to be worked out.

“This is a human being that we're dealing with, but there is a victim as well,” he said. “But I'm not going to make it a circus.”

Defense Attorney Sergio Valdez appeared in court alongside Dr. Jetta Brown, a physician who has been attending to Rosales at her Sullivan City apartment. Valdez asked that Brown be brought in as an expert witness and medical consultant should the case go to trial.

Rosales was arrested and charged at her home in March with allegedly striking deadly blows to the head and upper body of 2-year-old Eliseo Gonzalez Jr.

A grand jury last month indicted her on one count each of capital murder, murder, and injury to a child.

The child's mother, Jamie Lee Rosales, was indicted on a count of injury to a child for leaving him in Mayra Rosales' care despite a Child Protective Services order not to.

Valdez has said Mayra Rosales, 27, suffers from myxedema, a thyroid disease that caused her to swell from about 220 pounds to her current bedridden state in only a few years. He said the disease also has affected her reflexes such that she could not have struck the child as alleged.

“We're saying she didn't do it,” he told reporters Monday. “She's just not physically capable.”

I don't think she woiuld have the strength or energy to lift her arm and beat a child to death. As for the thyroid problem, I've read about some very extreme cases where nothing will control the weight no matter what is done. his woman is probably suffering from lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs and heart problems as well. And don't forget with that kind of edema the brain cannot function properly . I really would like to hear all the facts before condemning her. I think the possibility of rolling on the child is very real.

Um,
You already have the clowns who aren't going to drag her to court, what else do you need? A tent?

NOONE gets to 1000 pounds (half of a ton) from a thyroid problem!

How insensitive can YOU be?

How do you know that she doesn't have a 910 pound thyroid?

When a person presents with myxedema coma, the body temperature is usually abnormally low (hypothermia). In many patients, the core temperature may be as low as 80F (26.6C). They may have severe mental changes including hallucinations, disorientation, seizures, and ultimately, deep coma. The patient may have significant swelling (edema) all over the body with swollen eyes, thickening of the tongue, sparse, dry hair, and loss of the outer thirds of the eyebrows. Patients can also have difficulty breathing. There may be collections of fluid around the lungs and heart (pleural effusion and pericardial effusions). The heart may slow down and its ability to pump blood forward can be impaired. The gastrointestinal tract does not function well and in some cases it becomes paralyzed, thereby necessitating surgery. Blood test abnormalities can be seen and often are a result of the increased fluid in the body. For example, sodium levels drop because of dilution, which is caused by the body retaining extra water.

Look up myxedema on Google...I didn't find any info on that or hypothyroidism that indicates the amount of weight gain/edema, but given that there is enough going on to produce the myxedema coma, which can be fatal, gaining 1,000 lbs would not surprise me.
