The delay comes because the judge said in a court filing that he might not have authority to grant the request because of an ongoing appeal in state court.
The guardian told the Medina County judge earlier this month that she was dropping her efforts because she doesn't know where the girl is and said it's impossible to make medical decisions for her.
The move came two months after the girl and her parents fled their home in northeast Ohio to avoid the treatments. The family decided to halt the treatments because they feared the chemotherapy could end up killing the girl.

I would want to be the one to make the decision whether or not I want chemo.
And be the one who makes the decision for the child, too, Thelma.
