PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) A daughter of ailing radio personality Casey Kasem was granted regularly visits with him on Friday after raising concerns about his care.
The ruling by a judge in Washington state marked the latest twist in the ongoing dispute between Kasem's wife Jean and her stepdaughter, Kerri Kasem, who has said in court filings that her father suffers from a form of dementia. <snip>
Last week, she was served with a California court order that temporarily suspended her powers to determine his medical treatment and expanded Kerri Kasem's authority to determine whether her father is receiving adequate care.
Jean Kasem told KING-TV then that her husband was getting the best possible care and she was "not going to allow anybody to shred (her) family on unfounded facts and malicious accusations."
In court on Friday, Kerri Kasem said her father was suffering from bedsores along with lung and bladder infections. Kasey Casem was not in court.
In her ruling, Kitsap County Judge Jennifer Forbes said Kerri Kasem will be allowed daily visits for up to an hour and can have her father examined by a doctor. more at link:
