Her Story
She Is Still
Fighting.
Maximiliana La'akea Aurelius — known as Kini — was admitted to Kapiolani Medical Center in October 2025. What followed was a documented series of medical decisions, withheld nutrition, and institutional actions that her father, Etienne Aurelius, has fought in civil court through four hearings.
Max has demonstrated a 10/10 motor response score — witnessed by hospital staff. She responds to stimulation. She is alive and present. Yet her sole-custody father was banned from her bedside on January 14, 2026, following a social media repost that the hospital used as justification for a retaliatory ban.
No physical threat was made. No court order justified the ban. The ban has been in place for over 51 days.
