Dearest Friends of Terri,
I am very distraught this evening. I have contemplated whether to send this information to the people who have remained steadfast and very dedicated in their fight to free Terri from her captors. However, after great consideration, I feel it is only right that I share with you, Terri´s supporters, the information I have been given to me this evening by Terri´s family.
As we all have come to know, Terri Schindler is a strong woman who has an incredible will to live. Despite the daily inhumane torture that is inflicted upon her by estranged spouse, Michael Schiavo, (the man who has allowed her to lay in a bed with no food and water for the past eight days,) she has been fighting very hard to remain alive. Last Friday, in spite of her not being permitted therapy since 1993, Terri even tried to articulate the words "I Waaaaaa " in a very loud voice, in response to Attorney Weller saying to her, "all you have to do Terri, is tell us you want to live, and this whole thing can be over Terri."
Under normal circumstances, considering how well hydrated and nourished Terri has been due to receiving the balanced nutritional elements in enteral feedings, it would seem reasonable for Terri to live for another week, or so. However, what was reported by her family tonight, has presented my worst fears. Terri´s breathing has changed and has recently become very labored. I am assuming this is happening so quickly because of the possible initiation of Woodside´s "exit protocol." A protocol which delivers to her nebulized morphine, a narcotic which suppresses respirations. (see attached pdf exit protocol) The "exit protocol" was obviously written to enhance her death process. Woodside claims Morphine was to be administered to provide her with so-called "comfort" measures. Odd, however, they would find it n! ecessary to administer Morphine to a patient who Schiavo and Felos have declared all along has no pain, is without any feelings, and is brain dead. Go figure!
In simple English, it appears they are killing Terri faster than she has the ability to fight to stay alive any longer. Terri´s family are physically and emotionally worn out. They feel disappointed and deserted by government leaders who! they once supported. They pleaded for help from them to save their daughters life, but were repeatedly turned down by judges who chose to err on the side of death, as opposed to life. Sadly, leaving them alone to stand by and witness their daughter fighting against the inhumane death of starvation and dehydration.
The callous, cruel and bizarre behaviors we have also witnessed from Schiavo in his determination to rapidly kill the wife he claims to love; leads us to assume he may now be on a rapid mission to leave Terri´s parents with the memory of her death on Easter.
Please pray that God continues to protect Terri. Pray that He will provide Terri with peace as she struggles to take her final breaths. Please pray that He allows her family to feel confident that they did everything possible to save her life. Please pray that He allows them to know how much she loves them for the valiant fight they have made on her behalf. Please pray that if Terri is forced to take her final breaths, it can be with her family by her bedside and not Michael Schiavo. Pray that someday soon she will be capable of inhaling the beauty of LIFE, in a place where no more harm will come to her.
As Terri now lays taking labored breaths, I myself, am given a sense of peace in knowing if she dies, she will soon be free from Michael ever bringing harm to h! er again. I will no longer have to worry about what he may do to her; or, how she has had to stay locked up in a room away from her family and the beautiful sounds of the earth we all are able to enjoy every day. I will pray for each of you that you find peace within yourself in knowing you have helped Terri in your own special way.
Move the decimal point over one and divide by pi?

Give him a break. Be more specific. Apple pi, Cherry pi, or Pumpkin pi ??? ;-))
That line was in the article written by Ms. Ford.
The evil bastards who contributed to this, both by direct action and by omission, should die a very painful and slow death, and be constrained to a particularly nasty corner of hell for eternity.
Not a "painful" death---just one without food and water---or pain killer!!! Afterall, they wouldn't NEED pain killer, now would they?
Under Florida law, can't one take a video deposition to perpetuate testimony for a lawsuit to be filed. It is probably too late to notice such a deposition of Terri in the malpractice case.
The morphine is to suppress her breathing and expedite her passing as well as to suppress pain.
"Enhance the death process", eh? I'm sure Satan is rubbing his hands with glee. This has to be one of the sickest public executions ever. Rivaling that of Christ.
I wasn't too certain of this, except in the abstract.
Then I found a URL that I thought only could be a crackpot thing, and started reading, and, adding numbers.
"Perhaps at some distant date only the unaberrated person will be granted civil rights before law. Perhaps the goal will be reached at some future time when only the unaberrated person can attain to and benefit from citizenship. These are desirable goals..." Dianetics; the Modern Science of Mental Health, by L. Ron Hubbard (1987 edition, p.534)
"It is important to note that many citizens of Florida had contacted the Department of Children and Families in March, 2004. In formal complaints, citizens informed the department that Terri had two teeth missing and a decubitus ulcer (bedsore). On April 1, 2004 the department investigated the allegations of abuse and, in formal responses dated April 6, 2004, they state that claims of neglect were "unsubstantiated".

It'll curl your hair if you take it seriously.
Dehydration often brings on serious spasms, that can even cause a fractured spine. It is normal to provide morphine to reduce the probability of such major spasms.
Yeah, Hey, a bucks a buck with that bunch!
Yup, that no pain scam is looking pretty flimsy.
How convenient,and next the cremation.Hideous.
This is sensory deprivation, which has been officially declared a form of torture.
Prolonged sensory deprivation will cause even the strongest people to eventually go mentally insane and physically deteriorate.
So, not only did Mr. Schiavo deny Terri therapy, but he subjected her to prolonged sensory deprivation, which would have the effect of drastically worsening her condition.
I doubt filing any complaints that Terri was tortured via sensory deprivation would do any good, due to her being diagnosed as incurably PVS (a diagnosis I disagree with, BTW). Besides, starving and deydrating someone to death is officially considered torture too, but our government just doesn't seem to even care.
They could've done something to stop this, but all we got was a dog and pony show of judges and politicians who either sat on their hands, clapped their hands with glee, or stood by ineptly wringing their hands. We the people could've done something to stop this as well, but we tarried too long, because we were strung along by one false hope after another until it was too late. We believed the President and Congress had succeeded in intervening to save her, then our hopes were shot down. Then we believed Jeb Bush when he said he had the power to save her, but again our hopes were shot down. Then, we believed that DCF would surely step in to stop this abuse, and once more our hopes were shot down.
Now, it's too late, and I could just scream. If I'd known it would all turn out like this, I'd have gathered some lawyers, flown to Florida, and found some way to get her out of there years ago. I just honestly didn't believe they'd be allowed to kill her. They'd tried before and had always been forced to reinsert the feeding tube. I also did not know how badly Michael was treating her until now, but I should've. I should've known. I should've taken the time to find out. And, this will always haunt me because I didn't really go out of my way to do a damned thing. I called Jeb Bush's office and begged like a serf. I prayed, signed petitions, and ranted & raved. But, I didn't really do anything.
God, forgive me.
So, you were wrong on the first date and have to try again? Reminds me of some rapture lunatics that are sure of the day they are going up, then keep doing it again, each time with some silly excuse.
May I remind you that I have nothing to do with this ritual?
Get real, you are veering off into complete nuttiness.
You sound just like Felos last night,with a morbid interest in the breathing patterns of the dying,
She is a nurse with experience and knowledge of the matter,unless you can claim the same you have no standing.
So what's this, morphine to dull her pain?
They told us that starvation was so euphoric? So painless.
Was Terri trying to register to her parents her distress and unbearable suffering once her feeding tube was yanked from her?
Are they drugging her up because she did try to tell her parents attorney last week that she wanted to live?
Are they afraid that it might take longer than dear husband Michael can wait to get remarried to his other woman, supposedly a very devout Catholic living in sin.
Morphine will undoubtedly kill her by slowing down her ability to breathe.
Who knows maybe the doctor thugs are putting something else in her drip line. they've never would give her an antibiotic for her infections, now anything to hasten her death.
Lying murdering scum.
