At least twice a day, Mr. Schindler comes out and says,

"She's fighting like hell to live."

"She's alert and aware.

She wants to live."

Next presser,

"She is failing fast..."

"Her time is close."

It's all so redundant.

I agree...we are getting more and more conflicting reports from the Schindler family, and again, I think its just due to their rightly felt desperation, and their suffering...for truly they are suffering, I have no doubt of that...

Heres another thing...there seem to have been inferences, that because Terri has held on this long, without water, that this is some sort of 'miracle'...

Dont want to rain on any ones calling out of 'miracles', but even before the feeding tube was removed, the doctors, said, that she would probably last for between 1-2 weeks...it all depended on how good her hydration was previous to having the tube pulled, and how much energy she was exerting...it appears that previous to pulling the feeding tube, she was receiving adequate hydration, and as far as I can make out, her exertion, is very minimal...

So given those 'facts', its just medically a given, that she would last between 1-2 weeks...lasting 2 weeks is not a miracle in the sense that some would wish to believe...its just a medical variance, supported by the doctors...unless you care to just disbelieve the doctors...
