@halfbakedkate: Well I have a teeny tiny bit more hope for what the future holds for us regarding Madelyn’s death care and final arrangement plans. For now that money is going into savings until we know she’s cremated and I can make that memorial happen.
There needs to be a “Maddie Law” that says if an absent parent is ABSENT, The parent who’s active has the right to make 100% decisions on said child. If there’s not phone calls, court appearances, NOTHING, the law HAS TO BE CHANGED!

As a funeral director, go to the county court and file for an emergency custody hearing over her final disposition.

before I say anything else... her death already has meaning. even without the organ donation and honorwalk that you wanted for her so her death would have a meaning. but the system is so unfair the her and you. her story touched many. her name is already everywhere. don't understand this the wrong way but she saved me. i wanted to end it myself but then her story came across my fyp. seeing you and her stopped me from doing it. I wish that she lived. for both you and her and all the people who loved her. but it already has meaning. madelyn aurora marie will never be forgotten!

If he’s in jail shouldn’t his rights be waived considering you have full custody? This is heartbreaking 💔 🙏🏻

That is horrific. Your daughter has to sit dead in the morgue for 45 days. That’s sickening. Laws suck.

That’s sad that her organs cannot be donated now because of her father’s selfishness. I’m so, so sorry. ❤️

I’m going to say this again. Please be prepared for what happens when they take her off the vent. It’s not easy to watch and you need ICU to explain it. It’s extremely traumatizing, and something you should never be alone for. For my mother it was not something that was instant. I sat with her for hours while she was passing.

Why would he not agree to the organ donation? That’s very selfish!

If he was any kind of ‘father’ he wouldn’t be okay with her body being in the morgue for 45 days. He should want that closure as well. I’m so sorry. It’s impossible to lose a child but to be in this limbo is cruel.

Why is it down to HIS say when he has never been there? Why doesn’t the parent who raised and took care of her have the final say? Why isn’t what is best for your daughter being considered. This is so sickening.

She still saved lives via her story. She’s still a hero. She showed kids their consequences of their actions and helped with another step of ending bullying.

is he willing to have her cremated and share her ashes? I'm sorry he can't be man enough to let her be a donor and have an honor walk
