DALLAS A mother fighting to keep her baby on life support, despite a hospital's determination that her efforts would be futile, will get two more weeks to find a facility that will take the 10-month-old. A judge had been set to decide tomorrow whether to grant a temporary injunction to stop Children's Medical Center in Dallas from removing Daniel Wayne Cullen the Second from life support. But attorneys for the boy's mother and the hospital agreed yesterday to extend a temporary restraining order for another two weeks.
Attorney Brian Potts, who represents the boy's mother, Dixie Belcher, said he plans to submit the agreement to a judge today.
The baby has had breathing problems since his premature birth and was hospitalized after suffering from a lack of oxygen when he pulled out a breathing tube. He remains on a ventilator.

So an indirect medical opinion by Greer watching videos is more desirable in your mind?
See post #335. The Terri-bots hate Greer with such a passion they're willing to bring up anything to discredit him.
They've said he's blind, he influenced the hospice board, he's a murderer, he conspired with Michael to give money to Felos, on and on. Unbelievable hatred and character assassination. Oh, and backed up by nothing but gossip and innuendo.
What continues to amaze me, and why I'm drawn to these threads, is the fact that this is occurring on FR! You'd think that you'd be able to come to this forum to get an honest debate based on facts.
But not on these threads. Pure emotion-based posts. Do not confuse these people with the facts. It is surreal.
He relied on sworn testimony from qualified medical experts from both sides, in a court of law, and subject to cross-examination.
Is this even relevant? If so, then you tell me how much and why I should care.
Poor Judge Greer, he takes money from people who want a favorable ruling in their case. Silly I am to think that is somehow wrong.
It is obvious that you don't care. That is just your side of the isle. Once again you avoid a simple question.
Which makes me think of Dr. Gambone. Could you tell us what he said when he watched the videos under cross examination?
I believe a poster already told you that, if we are on the same page. She quoted CNN.
I don't know. What did he say? And how is what he said relevant to Judge Greer's ruling?
The poster made a passing reference to CNN.
I want the link (and the exact quote) to Michael's testimony where he stated that it was his wish that Terri die, not Terri's.
I want the link (and the exact quote) to Michael's interview by Keith Olbermann where he stated that it was his wish that Terri die, not Terri's.
I want the link (and the exact quote) to Michael's interview by Larry King where he stated that it was his wish that Terri die, not Terri's.
Have you got them? If not, then may I suggest you not run to the defense of your friend's lies.
Maybe you should educate yourself a bit about the case. I sure as heck am not going to convince you of anything.
I disagree. With 68,669 new cases filed--at the "circuit" level, not including the "county" level--in 2004 alone (plus a continuing case docket of several hundred thousand cases) in the Florida 6th Judicial Circuit (over 10,000 of those new 2004 cases filed were within the jurisdiction of the Circuit's probate and guardianship division, to which Judge Greer is assigned--he is one of only TWO of the 6th Judicial Circuit's judges who are assigned on a fulltime basis to the probate and guardianship division. Some cases, such as the Schiavo guardianship case--which was open for over 15 years--remain open, if not always active, for many years, so the "docket" at any given time for any given judge, may be as many as 20,000+ cases, almost all with an attorney or two of record attached to each case), it is unrealistic to imagine that campaign contributions from any attorney who has a case on a particular judge's docket during the time frame of a campaign would be prohibited from making a contribution to that judge's campaign.
Neither the Florida elections law, nor the Florida judicial canons prohibit such contributions. Furthermore, Florida's judicial circuits operate on a system of "judicial rotation," with judicial assignments being rotated among the circuit's various divisions (Civil, Criminal, Family, Probate/Guardianship, Juvenile) regularly, and by determination of the Circuit's Chief Judge. Judge Greer, for example, since he was first elected to the Circuit Court in 1992, has been assigned (rotated) to preside in the civil, criminal, family, and probate/guardianship divisions. Most attorneys (and attorneys and law firms make up roughly 2/3 of the contributors to the average judicial campaign, although there are exceptions--for example, very few attorneys and law firms made campaign contributions to Jan Govan, Judge Greer's 2004 election opponent) practice in more than one narrow area, and may find themselves on one day in a civil division courtroom, and in a probate/guardianship division courtroom on the next.
Between the diversity of most attorneys/law firms' practices and the uncertainties of judicial assignment inherent in the judicial rotation system in Florida, it would be both onerous and pointless to attempt to prohibit campaign contributions from any given attorney to any given judicial candidate. And given the statutory maximum contribution of only $500 from each contributor...a little silly.
I believe he said it was "our wish". Find it yourself.
I still have not received an answer as to how much Greer received in 1998 as compared to 2004. I don't think it is a little silly when you find those figures.
I believe he said it was "her wish". You find it yourself.
No, in fact the poster plainly stated it came from Larry King live and she merely stated what you intentionally omitted. If I am wrong, please show otherwise.
What will you do when I post it, run away?
The poster YOU defended said in post #268, and I quote, "Michael Schiavo has admitted several times that it was his own wish, not Terri's: in testimony, on LKL, and most recently in his interview with Keith Olbermann last March 29."
A) In testimony, B) on LKL (Larry King Live), and C) with Keith Olberman.
I totally discredited B and C, and could find no support for A whatsoever. All I'm asking for is a link to A, B, and C where it supports the poster's statement.
Can't I ask a poster to back up what they're claiming, especially when it's so fundamental to what happened to Terri?
The only problem is that you got the wrong post.
Let's find out, shall we?
