January 3, 2006 Today was the long-anticipated status hearing on guardianship for Scott. The hearing took place in judge's chambers with Pamela and her attorneys and Eliza and her attorneys.Pamela presented the judge with information that she has now filed with the court to have Scott declared "partially capacitated". This means, at the very least, that he would then be allowed to indicate his preferences for his social environment, such as who is allowed to visit. He has repeatedly indicated that he does not want to see Eliza, but he does wants to see his son.
Pamela also informed the judge that, after Scott is legally determined to be "partially capacitated", they would be filing for a divorce for him. Eliza indicated to the judge that she would fight any divorce proceedings. The final item that Pamela presented to the judge is that Scott is scheduled for surgery to close his tracheotomy opening, which should allow him to regain his ability to speak and make sound.
Based on all the above information, Judge Wilkes ruled to grant Pamela another six months of full guardianship of Scott.
This will be a crucial time for Pamela and Scott, as they continue to work, not only for Scott's recovery, but for him to regain the right and ability to truly "speak for himself". Please continue to join us in prayer and other support for Scott and Pamela as they continue the battle for LIFE.
good news on scott!
Is there life insurance awaiting the "wife" on Scott's death? Otherwise, I doubt that she would bother to interfere with the mother doing her matronly duties here???
Let's pray that God will grant Scott a FULL recovery
and that - one day - he can give Eliza "what for"!
