In the documents, Kelly says Conway currently has his own private room and a caregiver who has been assisting him for the last two years and attends to him 24 hours a day. She argues that moving him “to such a facility without skilled nurses on staff in his current condition will be harmful to his health and life.”
According to the documents, Conway’s “various medical conditions put him at risk of being a subject of medical emergencies.”
In the documents, Kelly alleges that Charlene’s attempt to move Conway to an “inferior” facility run “contrary” to his “special personal and medical needs.”
Kelly is asking the court to grant the order or move up the hearing on the proposed conservatorship to before Sept. 1 because she believes Charlene plans to move Conway during the first few days of the month. A judge has yet to rule on the order, according to The Blast.
