Pamela's guardianship renewed for another six months! Please see "Scott's News" for more information. (continued at link)

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. [emphasis mine]
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.
From the opening post:
"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."
Now if Eliza had her way, Scott would have been starved to death at the hospice, instead of looking forward to a great prognosis.
What I found interesting about that entry is that it comes from Always On, not exactly your right wing fundamental Christian radical site.
Thank God for the great news!
Taking a break for a while for family medical matters.
Thank you all for being here.
Yes! I am SO grateful to Him that our prayers were answered. Wouldn't a 'no' have crushed, broken the bruised reeds! ...
I am so grateful for a judge who, it would seem, allowed open discussion of all aspects, and ruled accordingly. Many of us in Jacksonville met downtown on the Day of Prayer to pray together for our city (as well as state & nation), all aspects of government, individuals, leaders, etc ... I was relying on that.
Wonderful news!
Thank the Lord!
+Bless His Holy Name!
Thank you for giving this man life!
Excellent news! Thanks for the ping!
" Thank the Lord!

YES, Amen.
Now I can sleep. Glad I get to tell you all good night! :o) Ya'll sleep well.
Putting Scott on my prayer list. Just read his story.
Good night to you too!
These bowl games are too late at night LOL!
Praying for a miracle.
And twelve miners are alive. Good end to a good day.

I know it!!
I can't imagine what it would be like waiting to learn whether they were alive. Talk about nerves on edge!
Baptist ping...
This is a good news story. I have to think that the different outcome is due largely to the judge. The same laws applied to Scott and should have been applied to protect innocent persons such as Terri.
I want yall to know about this case. It came up shortly after the death of Terri Schiavo. There have been several other situations in different states where people were in danger of forced death via the courts.
If you're not aware of Will to Live , it serves to protect your life and not take it as a living will is intended to do. You can find the Will to Live at the NRLC site (National Right to Life) and there are specific ones for each state.
"Praying for a miracle."
And a miracle took place! Thank God!!!
The country prayed and our prayers were answered. We were a part of those prayers.

excerpt:
TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. — Twelve miners caught in an explosion in a coal mine were found alive Tuesday night, more than 41 hours after the blast, family members and Gov. Joe Manchin said.
Bells at a church where relatives had been gathering rang out as family members ran out screaming in jubilation.
Relatives were yelling, "They're alive!"
This IS good news. There's been a lot of good news this evening. Many prayers of thanksgiving.
May it not dim the wonderful victory of Scott and his family of yesterday, and may support continue to build for them all so as to stop the death cultists in their tracks.

I still don't know why the judge gave the guardianship to the mother to begin with, when the FL law otherwise awards it to the "spouse." This judge must not be in the pocket of the George W. Greer clique.
FL law has several 'safeguards' which would disqualify a spouse from being guardian. Greer ignored them. Judge Wilkes has good judgement and ability to apply the law.
