Judge Nicholas Francis said "it is in Charlie's best interests to be moved to a hospice and for him at that point to be moved to a palliative care regime only," the Associated Press reports. 

The parents of Charlie Gard appear to have dropped their request for the 11-month old infant to die at home in favor of their son being cared for in hospice. Connie Yates returned to London's High Court Wednesday to request a medical team that could keep her son alive for a week under hospice care rather than a few hours, according to the AP. 

Great Ormond Street Hospital said it was not practical to provide life-support treatment for days at the couple's home.

Chris Gard and Connie Yates on Monday ended a months-long legal battle to take him to the United States for experimental treatment.
