According to this blogger [randomandpic.blogspot.com] , an elderly woman in Georgia is being starved to death in her nursing home, because her granddaughter thinks it's time for her to go home to Jesus.

Goodness gracious!!! What can we do? I can't read the post which Theist provided all night since it's so long.

Is there anything we can do??? What's being done to protect her, especially since her grand-daughter does NOT have any power of attorney.

What is happening? Why can't anyone see the dignity of each human being?

Please see World Net Daily - there's an article that tells of "Grandma" having been flown to a hospital and is being given fluid, nourishment, and proper medical attention! cool

As our dear Communion of Saints stated things have alredy moved for Grandma...

Mae Magouirk, the 81-year-old Georgia widow over whose medical care a family tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo case has been raging, has been transported from the hospice in LaGrange, Ga., to the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical Center, according to her nephew, where "she is receiving food, fluids, cardiac care and neurological help."

This morning, Magourik's nephew Ken Mullinax, who had been fighting to have his aunt removed from Hospice-LaGrange in LaGrange, Ga., where, he said, she had not been properly fed or hydrated, contacted WorldNetDaily with this phone message:

Because of your articles and all of the friends of Terri, my Aunt Mae Magouirk is now in the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical Center and is receiving food, fluids, cardiac care and neurological help. We are overjoyed.

Praise be the name of the Lord, praise be all of the friends of Terri Schindler [Schiavo]. We could never have mobilized public sentiment and pressure on these people in LaGrange, Ga. � at Hospice, the LaGrange, Ga., doctors or the probate judge � unless the friends of Terri and the wonderful media of WorldNetDaily.com had become involved. Thank you all....

Randy, although your intentions may be good, they certainly don't come across as charitable.
to state that you hope she gets "beaten by a dog" is un-christian like at best. You should hope and pray that the Holy Sprit enters her heart and guides her decisions to let her mother live a natural life.
That would almost be like wishing death to a woman who has an abortion.

In Christ,

Brad
