Grossman called the new documents "bulletproof" and in a court filing wrote that the radio host's intention was to receive medical care in his home. In a sworn declaration, Jean Kasem wrote that the actions of her step-children, including press conferences, accusations she is holding her husband hostage, and the filing of the conservatorship case, have been a "living nightmare." She wrote that her husband is bedridden and receives around-the-clock care from medical professionals. "It is my sincere hope that Casey's physical surroundings coupled with the attentiveness of the medical providers and the love of his own home and wife and child are comforting to him," Jean Kasem wrote. Paul refused to dismiss the case, noting that Ingham had requested additional information about medical care. The judge noted, however, that it did not appear that any court intervention was necessary to ensure Kasem was receiving proper care. Paul appointed an independent doctor to review Kasem's medical records and to meet with him then report back to the court before a Nov. 19 court hearing. Attorneys for Julie Kasem supported the delay in the case for the medical evaluation and further investigation of her father's estate planning documents. They declined further comment.
