I guess my question is, has Mae objected?

There have been alot of claims that Mae's lack of lucidy was only the result of the alleged hospice care. Too much morphine and not enough food and water. That has presumably been reversed at UAB and I anticipate a lucid Mae to emerge soon, if what those claimants say is true. The time of reckoning is near, one way or the other.

That's a good question. Last I heard, Gaddy has barred any family members from visiting Mae, but that still would not stop a lucid Mae from speaking to doctors and nurses. (Provided they would even listen to her due to Gaddy's claim that Mae suffers from dementia.)

I do recall that Ken told Glenn Beck that when his mother was hospitalized the first time she suffered from an aortic dissection she spent 3 months in a coma before she woke up and got back to living a normal life. So, I don't know how long it will be before we hear from Mae. I really, really would like to hear her side of the story, though.

I am curious about Gaddy's claim that Mae suffers from dementia. I want to know if Mae was properly diagnosed as having dementia and WHEN she was diagnosed as having this condition. After all, dementia is not something that just occurs overnight. There should be some documented history of this, but so far all I have seen is Gaddy's claim in a court document. I'm not even sure if this claim has been backed up by any doctor who is familiar with Mae.

Thinking there is a need to know if there is a phone in Mae's room...if she can make or receive calls. Did someone mention she was in ICU ? If so, don't think phones are allowed as not to disturb them. If she's in a private room, and there is a phone, has Beth blocked that form of communication?

Just checking: did you read my post to you on #2212 ? I'd be interested in your opinion, especially on Mae's Living Will and what she checked off regarding nourishment/hydration.
