This is wonderful news(!), but this sure isn't the end of the story yet. I too, want to hear directly from Mae-and her granddaughter. Curious why granddaughter or her attorney would not make some sort of statement, if she's on the up and up.

I respect the family's wishes to get off the public stage.

But I want to see the hospital and hospice out in full, bright lights. Why the need for a court order to obtain treatment? How was the move to obtain an emergency guardianship justified? Why "go adversarial" against treatment for Mae? How did they justify the withholding of adequate food and water to sustain life?

I think there are also possible legal causes of action against many of these players. Mae could win a lawsuit, and donate the proceeds to an "honesty in hospice" cause. That'd be pretty cool.
