Phys therapy and speech therapy stopped which was helpful and parent looked foreword to it daily. vitamins stopped. She is being forced to be bedridden in a hospital bed guardian had put in. She is being dumbed down and she never was asked if she wanted guardian or hospice. Guardian is killing her off because of caregiving 24/7 expenses. Brother asked to replace her as guardian and do caregiving for free. Sister offered grocery money and continual visiting.
