Even now, Father, the name of Terri is before the court on appeal ... even now, Father, there is an attempt to have her marriage dissolved, that she be free of a husband who would harm her, rather than protect her. We earnestly pray that these efforts will be successful ... may her attorneys speak words of conviction that come from You, and may the judge hearing these words be convicted to halt this assault on a defenseless woman. Be her defense, Father ... be her advocate ... be her shield and protector ... be her very life, for You are her Creator God.
We weep for her ... we weep for our country ... we weep for laws and judges who see nothing wrong ... stir up the people unto righteousness, I pray, and save Terri, for the sake of her humanity ... for her parents ... for each one of us, for You, alone, are God. May it be so, Lord, in the precious name of Your son, Jesus, Amen ...
On the 1st monster Terri thread, this had been batted around. The cause at the time of her collapse was a heart attack, and that she had a potassium imbalance. They attributed the potassium inbalance to be from bulimia which they thought Terri had, since she had lost a significant amount of weight. That's why the jury only awarded her what they did, because they found that she was 70% responsible for her own collapse, and her doctor 30%.Upon further investigation, however, a FReeper was able to find info that a potassium imbalance can be the fight or flight response to a struggle. One of the doctors who has examined Terri said that he has seen a neck as rigid as Terri's in only one other patient, a strangulation.
What we fear is that Michael may have tried to kill Terri, and in her struggle to fight him off, the potassium imbalance caused her to have a heart attack.
Here's the link for the monster thread, and it was probably somewhere between 3500 and 5000 that this was discussed, but I'm not sure exactly where. If I remember correctly, freeper syriacus found the struggle information I'm referring to, but it could also have been many others (dandelion, kimmie7, or many others). Hope this helps.
