WHAT HAS CHANGED since this photo was taken of Terri & Michael in 1990?? Has the greater St. Pete area forgotten that Terri used to look like this?

So Michael won his money, got his honey.

Why does the St. Pete Times not ask WHY Terri would be in WORSE shape today than she was 13 yrs ago?? (source: 1/25/00 story by Anita Kumar -- http://www.sptimes.com/News/012500/TampaBay/Deciding_the_fate_of_.shtml)

Yes, I'm shouting. Where's the logic here?

credit syriacus for finding this article. May our work have meaning and help for Terri -- but others have been working for years w/same frustrations. Why is justice so blind to Terri's parents all these years?

YEAH, Michael -- it took you FOUR HOURS to get this one good pxr of you and Terri to use in that 92 trial? RIGHT . . .

I don't understand what the problem is. I don't understand why this wasn't settled years ago; why we're all held captive by a bully and his friends. Terri should have been with her parents LONG ago.

What's so HARD about this? It doesn't even require a Solomon!

Take that "right to die" crap out of this NOW -- those who are really using Terri as a 'political football'.

God protect Terri and help us all. I thought other things were bad -- this is positively evil.

from the above mentioned article http://www.sptimes.com/News/012500/TampaBay/:

"Her doctors never tested her blood or told her what was wrong, Mrs. Schindler said. >> No basic bloodwork, not a single tube? Unlikely -- is this really true? case went to trial...

On Feb. 25, 1990, Michael Schiavo woke up about 5 a.m. to use the bathroom. That's when he saw his wife fall on the floor. Her heart stopped beating and she was deprived of oxygen for five minutes before she was taken to the hospital. >> THIS DIFFERS from other accounts: "woke up to use bathroom"? "he saw"??

Terri Schiavo has not awakened since [? my eyes must be lying, then]..... Terri, meanwhile, has remained in a coma [someone needs to do some homework] through about 100 doctors visits and countless hospital and nursing homes stays. She breathes and sleeps, blinks and smiles.

It is my prayer that many, many people will see more facts about Terri's story. May hard hearts be softened and changed, including the lawyers, judges, doctors, and various experts. May more people come forward with info to help Terri. And may this nightmare finally come to a GOOD end.

OMG. Look how responsive Terri is in that photo #17 from years ago.

I'm completely shocked, don't know how it's possible that anyone could look at that and not ask dozens of questions.

Have you all seen this photo?

Look how far she has fallen since that time.

This is so unjust I don't know what to say.

Poor Terri has languished for so long.

Thanks for posting the picture. Does MS always wear yellow?

Terri sure looks responsive in this picture. What might regular therapy have accomplished if she had been allowed to have it?

Everyone needs to look at this post long and carefully!

There can be no doubt from this that what is taking place here is the most prolonged case of First Degree Murder that has ever been carried out.

Good sarcasm!!!!
