My understanding is that the granddaughter had the power of attorney but not the authorization to make medical decisions. According to that state that authorization belongs to the closest relative which is her sister. The sister and a nephew immediately attempted to get her to a hospital but Judge Boyd ignored the law and the living will and would not allow them to take care of Mae.
