Is it true that Gaddy has been providing care for 10 years? Where have the other family members been til now?
The other family members?
you mean the ones that live in ALABAMA?
Let's see-- Kenneth takes care of his mother-- Mae's sister. WHo is NOW in ICU!
Kenneth has said they are waiting for her! They want Mae to come live with them so he can care for her too.
THAT FAMILY?
I mean hey- if I run errands for someone for 10 years- I guess that means I can just deny them food and water- even when it is AGAINST her living will right?
I am SHOCKED AT THIS STUFF!
The granddaughter had POA over the $$$$$$ because SHE was the one that lived closest and took care of things for Mae-- Mae has glaucoma (SP?) can't drive, etc.
BY GA LAW-- NEXT OF KIN MAKES MEDICAL DECISIONS!
BY GA LAW!
Since when is a grandaughter next of kin--- OVER A BROTHER AND SISTER??
WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!!
Cause I just lost my GRANDMA-- ANd being the GRANDAUGHTER-- I HAD NO SAY SO!
NONE
NADDA!
I know I sound ticked right now-- I AM!
WHY ARE YOU ALL ARGUING OVER THESE THINGS???
WHY???
THIS WOMAN HAS A LIVING WILL!
SHE IS NOT IN A COMA''SHE IS IN A VEGETATIVE STATE-- SHE IS NOT TERMINAL
BUT STILL-- THEY CAN DO THIS??
MY HEART ACHES RIGHT NOW..
I DON'T GET HOW PEOPLE ARE OKAY WITH THIS..
WHAT IF SHE WAS 18 instead 81???
SInce she is old-- we can kill her..
I am sooooo BEYOND BELIEVING I AM HEARING THIS STUFF!
and control of the heavy purse strings as POA for finances - wouldn't want that reported $500,000 going up in hospital care when we can take care of the problem in two weeks of non-care...except sedation until the patient expires from starvation/hydration
