ORLANDO, Fla. -- With George Anthony, Caylee Anthony's grandfather, out of inpatient psychiatric care he and his wife, Cindy, are trying to plan the funeral for their grandaughter. Timeline | More Inside George Anthony was released from the hospital during the evening hours, and his family reportedly opted to take him home instead of to another treatment facility. A source told WESH 2 the family also made extensive plans to get him out of the hospital away from the camera's eye. WESH 2 is honoring the family's request not to camp out outside the Anthony home. Lee Anthony's lawyer said this is time they all need to try to heal as a family. Lee Anthony's sister, Casey Anthony, is in jail charged with the death of her daughter, Caylee. A source close to the family told WESH 2 they used multiple vehicles and an alternate exit to get George Anthony out of Halifax Medical Center and away from the public eye. He'd been staying there ever since he checked in to a Daytona Beach motel and took an undetermined amount of pills and alcohol in an apparent attempt to end his life. George Anthony's son's lawyer said Lee Anthony is glad to have his father safe at home. "He's very happy to be back in town and he's very happy to be with his family and continues to spend time with his father who's now out of the hospital and really try to begin to emotionally heal from this entire event," attorney Tom Luka said. That process will include finally saying goodbye to Caylee, whose remains were discovered almost two months ago in a wooded area near the Anthony family home. The Anthonys have been subpoenaed to testify under oath in the Zendaida Gonzalez civil suit against Casey Anthony. She said her reputation has been damaged by false allegations made by Casey Anthony. Gonzalez's attorney, John Morgan, said he wants to depose the Anthonys in front of the press. "Then we have some surprise questions for them they may have some difficulty answering," he said. Luka said Lee Anthony will have very little to say about that claim, and that Morgan's idea to conduct public depositions won't be allowed by the judge.
