It appears that Terri Schiavo is going to be starved and dehydrated. I don't see how it going to be stopped short of a kidnapping to save her life.
If we are to believe sworn affidavits, Michael Schiavo denied his beloved wife rehab, speech, and occupational therapy. Terri actually was able to drink from a baby bottle and ate pudding and jello. He threatened to fire a nurse if she got nourishment from anything but the feeding tube?
Why just the feeding tube? Because he could have that pulled and starve her to death. He had no interest in seeing that she learn to eat again.
A nurse has said that Terri was able to say "mommy," "help me," "hi," and express when she was in pain.
Terri is also being denied communion.
Michael thinks it is over when he has managed to starve and dehydrate her to death? No, Michael, I don't think so.
There will be a wrongful death suit filed of perhaps $20 million. The evidence will come out about the denial of rehab. Her broken bones will be investigated. Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next.
Wow..talk about being damned if you do and damned if you don't. Garybob, I'd like to see you walk in this man's shoes for a few days.
Sorry, which post are you referring to about the parents?
The courts, apparently, aren't viewing it that way, given the history of the case.
I had Paxil but I think it expired.
Celexa is better.
With my headline, I think I made it clear that he is not going to get away with it in this life has to do with a 20 million dollar lawsuit that I expect to happen. Not in the next clearly means God will be judging him as he will be judging us. Hildy, I think you are seeing something inflammatory that is not there. I do not want any harm to come to him. I am not encouraging that. But I think he will be sued big time.
I'm with you, Doug. You have FRmail.
I don't understand the refusal for Communion. Is he afraid she will be able to swallow the Host.
This is the official timeline, but nice try to edit history:
Don't get nasty, Peach. I cited where I got the information, you got a problem with that, take it up with www.terrisfight.org.
And before you award MS any humanitarian awards, the reason he's the one to visit Terri comes from the source you cited: March 24, 2000 Judge Greer grants Michael Schiavo’s petition to limit visitation to Terri Schiavo as well as to bar pictures. Judge Greer also stays his order until 30 days beyond the final exhaustion of all appeals by the Schindlers. 3-24-00 Greer Stay and Order Limiting Visitation
Doug, please think about what I said. Think the whole scenario through. I'm trying to protect FreeRepublic. It's just a sentence. Like I said before, we all understand your Gladiator moment, but I'm begging you to reconsider.
This site has no dog in the fight. I tend to believe it more, plus, it check out, yours doesn't.
For me to reconsider, you will need to judge shop. :) Come on, my post is not inflammatory. I have seen inflammatory.
I'd like to see you walk in this man's shoes for a few days.
I decided on my wedding day not to commit adultery. I'd rather not walk in those shoes, thank you.
Fine Doug. I think you're foolish.
"I almost choked on a piece of broccoli when I saw that."
Careful! If it cuts off your air supply you could be rendered brain dead and I guess we all know where that could lead.
I'm sorry if I sounded short. If you haven't been called a Nazi yet, then you haven't seen nasty :-)
That nurse was talking from 1995-1996....when she was having therapy and was being fed through her mouth. Maybe she was talking back then....
She had Communion and Last Rites on Friday before the tube was removed. Consecrated wine through the tube.
Well, I have an advance directive written. So, unless my children have a problem with me decision, I might just be okay.
I hope.
I would expect that the only persons with standing to sue are the Schindlers.
