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.
Maybe that was her wish. You know, there is obviously, and understandably, a whole lot of animosity between these two factions, the Schiavo's and the Schindlers. Like all families. There is enough blame to go around.
My sister's daughter is a nurse and could take care of her, she was the only girl and closest to my mom, and my sister demanded that mom be with her for care. The three sons were not going to argue with their determined sister who really deserves sainthood for the care she gave.
I do want know why this person"husband"do not want help"Terri Shiavo"I do want know why news persons do not write this person when did she write she do not want life I do not know all information I do know I do feel this person"husband"is not good!!!Thank you
Yea. Sainthood. Did you ever offer to give her a week off...take your Mom and give her a break? Please be honest.
Clearly, you do not.
But rave on.
Okay, not only do you know as much as any doctor, of which you are the wife of one, but you NOW know as much as any nurse. Kudos to you!
I am SO sorry to have misjudged you, bless your heart.
...I'd hate to have to look at him across the breakfast table every morning...
Yes, I've had the same sort of thoughts. It terrifies me to think of this man having complete control of me.
LOL - but NO!. FreeRepublic aint jumped no shark.
Ya wouldn't believe the unwarranted attacks on me...sheesh!
"No, I am NOT a nurse, but I am the wife of a doctor."
So? I'm the second cousin of a guy whose best friend is a tax accountant and I can too claim my dog as a dependant!
"Yea. Sainthood. Did you ever offer to give her a week off...take your Mom and give her a break? Please be honest."
You know what, I think you are the one getting out of line here.
Stop lying about me.
I never claimed to know as much as any doctor.
I merely stated that I am not a nurse,
just the wife of a doctor and YOU took it
from there.
NOT surprising.
Why? Am I butting my nose into his "personal" business? Interesting.
Appalling, is't it?
Seems more like a feeding frenzy of sharks.
Is that a quote from Saint Jude?
Well, I love you back. :) The message of my personal story is that my mom was able to eat again when the doctors told her she would never do so. In this case, Michael (apparently, pursuant to affidavits) denied his SINO (spouse in name only) the opportunity for any rehab which would have allowed her to eat. If her parents were able to feed her naturally, she would not be starving to death. Unfortunately, it appears that Michael denied her that opportunity. Hildy, if that is true, that is just not right and is incredibly immoral. Michael knew that a judge would never have a person starved who was able to eat real food. But, as we've seen, the judge can pull the tube.
Oh, I've read several of the vicious attacks on you.
Consider the source(s).
He visits her more than her parents do. He was with Terri all day yesterday.
Small wonder there. MS forbade the family visitation rights. Afraid they'd sneak a cube of ice in, I suppose.
Whoopdedoo for you.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why this nurse waited so long to tell her little story, the timing of the interview was suspicious at the very least.
