Local paper now has the following story:
Woman, 81, at center of feeding tube feud

One minor clarification based on the local paper's story:
The granddaughter reportedly has been giving some food and hydration by mouth: " . . . [Probate Judge Donald] Boyd said Gaddy testified at the hearing that she feeds her grandmother Jello, chips of ice and 'anything else she'd be willing to eat.' "
The nephew's concern is based on the report of a hospice nurse, based on the story: "Kenneth Mullinax, the patient's nephew of Birmingham, Alabama, said a hospice nurse told him that Magouirk had not received substantial nourishment since March 28."
Local paper confrimation. This is important. AND, since she's being fed by mouth, she isn't vegetative, is she? Another confirmation?
