As her mother, you have certain rights as next-of-kin to participate in medical decisions. On the other hand, if she is married, her husband has first rights. What is it you want to get done?
So sorry your daughter is on a ventilator plus having broken bones. What is her prognosis?
I would check with the hospital social worker, ask him/her what would be the best action in order for you to get Power of Attorney for your daughter. They might suggest Guardianship, to which you would need to go through an attorney to obtain same.
She can say yes, but not verbally. She has broken bones her hand and arm, broken pelvic and she on a ventilator. She been in a hospital since November 22, 2016.
