What is the name of your state? Illinois / Wisconsin
I live in Illinois. My sister is 31 years old. She is anorexic and is in a hospital in Wisconsin. The hospital is wanting to insert a feeding tube. Their guideline is 2 lbs a week. She has been in for 5 weeks now and has gained 8 lbs. She is in stable condition and they are still insisting on a feeding tube.
The hospital is petitioning the court for control of her ( so they can insert the feeding tube). My sister has requested to be transferred to another facility. They are refusing and holding her against her will. Is there anything we can do? My sister is willing to sign over guardianship to my mother or do a power of attorney so we can remove her from this hospital. Can the hospital fight my mother on this? We have a facility to take her closer to home but the hospital is refusing. They are also unethical. They are lying to my mother and other facilities that she has requested a transfer to. They are neglecting her. We are desperate to bring her closer to home. Help!
