A judge has granted Charlie Sheen permission to visit his hospitalized wife Brooke Mueller, despite a protective order that had prevented him from having any contact with her, UsMagazine.com confirms.

Judge James Boyd gave Sheen, 44 -- who was arrested Christmas day on suspicion of felony menacing, second-degree assault and criminal mischief -- permission to be in Mueller's presence only while she is in the hospital. All other terms of the protection order -- including the "no harrassment" points -- remain intact.
Earlier today, Mueller, 32, was checked into the intensive care unit at a Sherman Oaks, Calif., hospital, following emergency oral surgery.
Sheen was supposed to reunite with Mueller Wednesday in a Colorado courtroom, where a judge was going to determine whether to eliminate or extend the protective order.

According to Mueller's lawyer, the couple wants the order lifted so they can mend their marriage.
"They’re very much in love, and they want to try to work it out," attorney Yale Galenter told Us in December. "I think they had a really bad day, which is probably an understatement, but they need their privacy and they need some time."

Although the hearing has been rescheduled for Friday due to Mueller's "oral infection," Us has learned that the couple's attorneys will hold a status conference to discuss postponing it until Feb. 8.

13How much longer is it going to be before he actually kills her or some other woman? He's an abusive man, period.
Oh goody, then they can get together and when he pulls an OJ and murders her the family and Networks can blame the U.S. Government (his favorite target) and his father will get him out of trouble again. He's a serial woman beater and will kill someone.
It's good he's being allowed to see her right now. It sounds to me like she's very sick.
If she decides she wants to work on her marriage then good luck! It is up to her.
People, do you believe everything you read...GROW UP, this is the real world. You weren't there, you haven't a clue as to the truth...LEAVE THEM ALONE, AND BESIDES, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. AS IF YOU AND YOUR LIVES ARE SO PERFECT. God Bless Brooke and her family!
It's shocking that he's not the one to have put her there in ICU.

The judge is absolutely wrong in this case.Sheen menaced and threatened Brooke with a knife to her throat..it doesn't get more serious than this other than out and out murder. No matter how dearly Brooke wants to mend her marriage, she should turn and run the other way. Sheen is dangerous...he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near her...at least, not without supervision. Drats! Where is Brooke's family during all this? They should take her home and lock the doors to keep her shielded from this guy. I have awful forebodings about this relationship....she needs to be spirited away to safety....now.
A man threatens his wife, waves a knife and a judge lets him in her hospital room...not good judgment.
Wow. The perpetrator is allowed to see his victim when she is her most vulnerable. Disgusting.
Every couple has their ups and downs and for anyone to judge them based on this is just insane. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people fight on holidays after a few drinks! No one was there to really know what brought this on, but I give them credit for wanting to work out their problems and not head for divorce! I wish them the best!
real sad, she needs to leave him asap.
Glad Charlie was able to see Brooke in the hospital!
