Wednesday morning, Attorney Jack Kirby of LaGrange, Ga., will file a motion before Judge Boyd, on behalf of A. B. McLeod, which request that the Judge order Beth Gaddy to allow her Grandmother's brother and sister (A. B. McLeod, Lonnie Ruth Mullinax) visitation rights at UAB Hospital.
Ken writes that he will be on the Hannity & Colmes show tonight. He also reveals the following
My uncle and Mother are beside themselves about not being able to see Mae. Since we were the ones that advocated for Mae's life, we are amazed that we are now shut out of her care by the very person that sought to have her have quite a different outcome by being placed in a hospice. So I called our Ga. Attorney, Jack Kirby, and asked him to approach the court and Beth's lawyer, Danny Daniel, and see what their official reasoning for Beth's position is and to offer that if they would only allow Buddy and Mom to see Mae, I would be willing be denied access to Mae, although I failed to understand why Beth would wish to do so.Ken was offered and rejected a compromise in response to his request for visitation rights:
Attorney Daniels, speaking for Beth Gaddy, told our attorney, Jack Kirby yesterday that Beth would be willing to allow us access to Mae Magouirk, if and only if, "Kenny would not give another media interview or speak to another blogger or do anything, either passive or proactive, which will give information or shed public attention to the case of Mae Magouirk."
Although I originally desired to get some input and suggestions on whether or not to accept Beth's offer, I have since decided late tonight that to accept Beth's offer would hinder my ability to be an advocate for Mae's life, and so must reject any such restrictions or conditions. Since we have signed over to Beth's side of the family - all financial rights regarding Mae, we feel that having no conflicts of interest of any kind in the matter, we should be included in Mae's medical care consultations, as family. Were we the ones with the guardianship position, a position that Beth now holds by agreement but the spirit of which she has since violated, we would be including Beth as an important participant in our family decision-making process. I intend to work toward an equitable solution with these issues in mind, with the sole objective being that my Aunt Mae receive the proper medical and loving care that she deserves from ALL of her family - together.
