"She agreed to allow full visitation privileges, but only if Ken Mullinax promised never to talk to the media again or communicate in any way with Internet bloggers.
Mullinax refused and was on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" yesterday, where he provided a nationwide audience with details of the case. Hannity quoted from an exclusive story on WND, which was the first national news organization to investigate and report on the Magouirk case. "
BUMP.
I hope she pulls through and then FOX news has her on
I wonder how much 'granddaughter' was expecting fron her will?
*doing a little happy dance*
WONDERFUL!
I am curious if Ora Mae Magouirk has had a chance now to clearly communicate exactly what her desires are regarding extended medical care.
The estate is a quarter million+, per court filings.

She certainly needs to revisit her Living Will. It's a confusing document, and she may not really want to be starved and dehydrated, EVEN IF she is in a coma or PVS.
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.
This nasty little piece of work granddaughter / legal guardian, Beth Gaddy, must be cut off from ANY benefit from granny. Thankfully not everyone in the family is intent on doing the poor woman in. And what "judge" would rule in favor of this gold-digging little executioner when there was still a brother and sister and living will with express orders NOT to starve? I loathe the judiciary.
God bless Grandma!
I hope she gets well and then cuts her granddaughter out of her will.
Someone got to her. Thank heavens.
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.
If granny pulls through, I think the operative word here is:
Ooops?
Saw the nephew on Hannity & Colmes last night. Thank God this woman is receiving hydration and nutrition. Thank God.
Reports were that she HAD a living will, but that the g-daughter found a way to get around it using a nursing home? Anyway, the LW supposedly said she should GET food and water!!! And the g-daughter over-rode that. G-daughter is in for some ROUGHER times, I'm afraid.....
"And as for my lovely caring granddaughter, I revise my will, and being of sound mind and body, bequeath her diddly squat."
And why did a hospice accept a patient that, as far as we know, was not diagnosed as 'soon to die'? Last week, the hospice's attorney was unavailable for comment; anyone heard if she's back and will talk?
