THANKS NIC,
Gonna contact Wampus SC since I think he does great with talk readio contacts.

Wampus could you visit us here on this thread and help?

Mae Magouirk…not comatose …not vegetative …not terminal

Why is Hospice LaGrange, Ga. withholding nourishment?

(LaGrange, Georgia) Mae Magouirk is being withheld nourishment and fluids and the provisions of her Living Will are not being honored at the Hospice-LaGrange, (1510 Vernon Street, LaGrange “Troup County” Georgia, 706-845-3905) a subsidiary of the LaGrange Hospital in LaGrange Georgia. Her family is desperately seeking to save her life before she dies of malnourishment and dehydration.

You are always so good with contacting talk Radio, you have that great list.

Can you help Mae?

Also I don't know the exact spelling of that great graphic guy Phil Doroo can you ping him over here. I would love to see some of his work to help an 81 year old grandmother who has lost her husband, son and is now being starved to death by her granddaughter.

[ExPatInFrance]

again, a seperate thanks to you. You are always so generous with your time and efforts. I wish you were my sister, we would get along great.

I'm thinking it would be most effective for someone with a personal connection to contact him?? Or at least a Georgia resident?

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Granddaughter yanks grandma's feeding tube
81-year-old neither terminally ill, comatose, nor in vegetative state

In a situation recalling the recent death of Terri Schiavo in Florida, an 81-year-old widow, denied nourishment and fluids for nearly two weeks, is clinging to life in a hospice in LaGrange, Ga., while her immediate family fights desperately to save her life before she dies of starvation and dehydration.

Mae Magouirk was neither terminally ill, comatose nor in a "vegetative state," when Hospice-LaGrange accepted her as a patient about two weeks ago upon the request of her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, 36, an elementary school teacher.

Also upon Gaddy's request and without prior legal authority, since March 28 Hospice-LaGrange has denied Magouirk normal nourishment or fluids via a feeding tube through her nose or fluids via an IV. She has been kept sedated with morphine and ativan, a powerful tranquillizer.

Her nephew, Ken Mullinax, told WorldNetDaily that although Magouirk is given morphine and ativan, she has not received any medication to keep her eyes lubricated during her forced dehydration.

"They haven't given her anything like that for two weeks," said Mullinax. "She can't produce tears."

The dehydration is being done in defiance of Magouirk's specific wishes, which she set down in a "living will," and without agreement of her closest living next-of-kin, two siblings and a nephew: A. Byron McLeod, 64, of Anniston, Ga.; Ruth Mullinax, 74, of Birmingham, Ala.; and Ruth Mullinax's son, Ken Mullinax.

Magouirk's husband and only child, a son, are both deceased.

In her living will, Magouirk stated that fluids and nourishment were to be withheld only if she were either comatose or "vegetative," and she is neither. Nor is she terminally ill, which is generally a requirement for admission to a hospice.

Magouirk lives alone in LaGrange, though because of glaucoma she relied on her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, to bring her food and do errands.

I just volunteered to do the ping list for Mae since DJReece asked for help. I pinged all the names I scooped up quickly.

I will review the previous pages of this thread to gather names of those who volunteered to help and add those to the ping list.

If anyone wants on the list please freepmail me. If I ping anyone who wants to be deleted please let me know also.

Will do my best. WN

SpottedOwl, I know we can count on you for some e-mail support, right?

This is the slippery slope we all feared the Culture of Death would follow.

I think if we do not drop this - continue to investigate - get the hounds on the trail, we age going to find that your statement will be truer stated thus:

This is the slippery slope we all feared the Culture of Death has been following.

[nicmarlo]

I wish you were my sister, we would get along great.

I'd probably drive you crazy! : )

[Netizen]

Yes, I heard David Boise also. Good names to keep in mind.

[nicmarlo]

very good...thanks!

[maine-iac7]

Do you consider Randal Terry an asset?

NO - he doesn't seem to have the intelligence

[nicmarlo]

just sent an e-mail to Gary Bauer, with the American Values, as well.

[schmelvin]

I just tried to email Jesse Jackson's rainbowpush group, but my message got bounced because their mailbox is full.

[maine-iac7]

The enemy absolutely hates Randall Terry so he must be a terrific guy.

He flubbed up too many times in Terri's case - he doesn't have the expertise, I believe - there has to be some sharper ones

[Wneighbor]

Your welcome. I am free for the present and needed to do something for Mae. Lost my Grama 2 years ago. This grand-daughter is beyond my ken.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

That was my first thought as well.
Don't know if there is a correlation, or the exact location of the "Safehaven" location.

[Netizen]

Ok did someone post about a lawyer named Stout?

Who was/is Stout working for?

[nicmarlo]

Also I don't know the exact spelling of that great graphic guy Phil Doroo can you ping him over here. I would love to see some of his work to help an 81 year old grandmother who has lost her husband, son and is now being starved to death by her granddaughter.

That would be Phil Dragoo; yes, he's quite talented. Hey, Phil...any ideas?

[maine-iac7]

The enemy absolutely hates Randall Terry so he must be a terrific guy.

thanks - I'd like it for my file too and for back up when I disseminate it among people up here as well

[Ohioan from Florida]

I'm coming back into this a bit late, but I have already contacted someone who works with him, topher, another Freeper. Let me see if I have gotten any response and I'll get right back. If he hasn't gotten through to Fr. Pavone, I will call tomorrow morning first thing!
