She was hydrated for a short time when her family showed up at hospice. She also had her feeding tube replaced. Hospice kept the family busy while Gaddy went to court and got it all yanked again.

Thanks nicmarlo!

sORRY GUYS- PLEASE BEAR WITH ME-- DOING A LOT AT ONCE HERE!

MAE DID RECEIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HYDRATION AND FOOD LAST WEEKEND I THINK... THE DETAILS ARE IN THIS HERE--

KENNETH WAS ON GLENN BECK THIS MORNING.. KEEP CHECKING GLENNBECK.COM TODAY- I WILL POST A LINK WHEN I SEE THAT THE INTEVIEW HAS BEEN POSTED- HE IS MAKING THIS INTERVIEW AVAILABLE FOR FREE TODAY- HE SAID ON HIS SHOW...

HERE IS THE EMAIL FORM KENNETH-- UPDATED VERSION
'
Nothing is settled in this case until my Aunt Mae is given nourishment and fluids! This is far from settled and far from over. The doctors did not meet Monday...that is Bull!

They finally spoke on Wednesday and again today AND STILL NOTHING IS SETTLED OR DECIDED BETWEEN THEM. Every day they vacillate, my Aunt Mae grows weaker and closer to death.

Sure, we attended an emergency guardianship petition hearing before Judge Boyd on Monday, April 4. However, the Judge would barely allow our attorney, Jack Kirby, to speak and would not even allow our attorney to cross examine Mae Magourik's attending Physician, Dr. Stout, so as to ask the doctor if he would agree that there are alternative treatments to a dissected aorta which are not surgery (my Mom has had the same condition of a dissected aorta as her sister Mae and we know that Mae CAN BE successfully treated without surgery) but Probate Judge Boyd WOULD NOT allow our attorney to ask that question. Even though Beth Gaddy's forces state that the dissected aorta is the major reason they put her in Hospice.

So although we have a sort-of compromise, I am not holding out any hope especially since two of the three probate court appointed cardiologists are from the small clannish town of LaGrange, Ga.

This Judge has been NO HELP and has acted hostile and indifferent to our actions to keep my Aunt Mae alive. And what if the two LaGrange Ga. doctors rule against my Aunt? Should we just lay back and allow her to be WITHHELD NOURISHMENT AND FLUIDS? Heck No!!!

So although this Probate Judge is a slick talker, he has definitely not been on the side of life in this matter...however that is just my opinion. Judge Boyd has NEVER ATTENDED LAW SCHOOL yet he is a Probate Judge who has the power of life and death in these matters. But Ga. Law allows a probate judge to be a non lawyer and that is just not right. That issue is my next cause!!! So remember when you talk to this Judge Boyd...he is a slick politician...he runs for election...he may seem nice and say the right things however the one right thing he could say is that he is going to enforce Mae Magouirk's Living Will stipulations and make sure she has substantial nourishment and fluids to keep her alive....

Remember: MAE IS NOT TERMINAL...COMATOSE OR IN A VEGETATIVE STATE SO WHY IS JUDGE BOYD ALLOWING HER TO STAY IN HOSPICE???

In closing, examine the contradictions in Judge Boyd's own court writing which bears his signature. In Boyd's petition for the appointment of a temporary emergency guardian for my Aunt Mae, he writes, in "Probate Court Estate Ruling 138-05" the following:
"That a clear and substantial risk of death and or serious physical injury can occur to the proposed ward "Mae Magouirk" UNLESS she stays in HOSPICE at West Georgia Health Systems."

A RISK OF DEATH WILL OCCUR TO HER UNLESS SHE STAYS IN HOSPICE? Is he whacky or what??? Hospice is a home for the dying...Hospice is death. Who does he think he is fooling?? Now do you see what we are going against with this man and now do you she why I will not sit on my hands while these doctors he has appointed finally get around to acting.

EVERY DAY THESE DOCTORS WAIT TO DECIDE, MY AUNT MAE INCHES CLOSER TO DEATH!!!

Act now....I so need everyone to stay on these folks. The light of your involvement and public SCRUTINY will embarrass these folks who embrace the culture of death and thus will allow us to give Mae the proper medical care she deserves.

ACT NOW...KEEP THE PRESSURE ON THEM...DON'T FALL FOR THEIR PROPAGANDA. They want you to feel this is over....THE HELL IT IS!

Ken Mullinax
Nephew of Mae Magouirk

Someone posted the number to the school where she works, I called it but no answer? Yes, it is time for the granddaughter to have her picture plastered all over the tv so people can see the evil woman who wants to starve granny to death.

JUST HAD THIS COMMENT POSTED AT MY BLOG!

I just talked on the phone with Sonja Flanagan at the Georgia Department of Family and Children's services - she oversees all the hospices in Georgia. I explained the story to her and she had me send her the links to the stories that are out here and to Mr. Mullinax's posts. She's not sure what she can do, but she is going to look at the case. Her telephone number is (404)657-5445 and her email address is stflanag@dhr.state.ga.us. Would you believe she has heard NOTHING about this? So apparently the word isn't out in Georgia yet!

My email if you have any questions is searayj@sbcglobal.net.

Ken, don't give up, I'm calling everyone I can possible think of!!!

Tried calling the school again, still no answer at the number. 706-845-2080. Maybe they quit answering? I have tried to keep up but are the Senators from the State of Georgia aware of this.

>>I didn't take a side in her case, I ~mostly~ sat out of the discussion of it.

Well, to your credit, you did have the sense to NOT to stick around and join the "death Freeper crowd" that formed their own WPPFF/Wild Turkey club, and poked, jabbed and rubbed salt into the wounds of grieving Terri-supporters for two weeks.

I'd hardly say though that you did not take a side in her case.

On 03/18/2005, in reference to Terri speaking "I WAAAAAA", you essentially called the 4 people who later swore under oath that Terri said this, liars. You implied her mom would lie about anything to save her daughter, and you said Gibbs, who wasn't in the room for that event, should have repeated that story 2nd-hand that same afternoon during the taping of Hardball, or else that proves it was obviously a lie... you said:

Thanks though for not sticking around while she died and joining the organized Terri-hater's club. They were the most horrific concoction of (left-leaning freepers +DU trolls) I've ever seen.

If you ever do manage to listen to the testimony that Greer refused to hear, please keep in mind even Michael and his attorney both contended in Nov 1992 that Terri WAS responsive and better than PVS. Michael changed his story 180degrees by Feb 1994 after he had her cash, while her caregivers KEPT right on noticing and pointing out that Terri was responsive.

November 1992 - Opening Statements, Medical Malpractice Trial [MICHAEL's ATTORNEY speaking]

You'll find from the evidence past medical bills and lost earnings are in the neighborhood of $500,000, and to care for her in the future and compensate her for lost earnings, obviously, she cannot work. And if she lives a normal life expectancy, fifty-one years, and the cost of that, depending on whether or not in an institution or Mike takes her home is between 12 and 16 million dollars. They say, well, she doesn't have a normal life expectancy. You'll hear if she receives proper treatment, there's no reason why she shouldn't. And she is not just a head on a pillow. She can't respond much but she can respond, and she does respond a little bit, not much. But enough to give him hope.

Don't know re Senators. I called mine in DC. Someone was trying to reach Saxbe Chambliss.

Just amazing that people say, "I did not take a side on the Terri issue".

May my children and grandchildren know that I did take a stand, a stand for life. May they know that I was not too lazy to find out the facts and act on those facts.

Don't you love the line, "Well, since I wouldn't want to live that way, how could anyone else? I mean, I don't so no one possibly could". It is shocking the arrogance of some people.
