PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- The feeding tube keeping a severely brain-damaged woman alive was removed Wednesday, ending an epic, six-year legal battle between her husband and her parents.

It ended nothing. Michael has not yet succeeded in murdering his wife - the tube has been removed and order re-attached before. The trouble is, didn't they also remove the port for the tube today? If so, then its pretty much a done deal and this poor woman will suffer an agonizing death we wouldn't even allow a dog to suffer. They can't legally do a Kevorkian on her, so they'll let her starve to death over the next 2 weeks.

"...feeding tube keeping a severely brain-damaged woman alive..."

That's like saying that my refrigerator, from which I obtain food, is keeping me alive.

She could have an nasogastric tube put in, in seconds if so ordered and still receive her nourishment. It goes in through her nose and is not as comfortable.
She can also receive nutition through a peripheral route such as an IV, although she probably could not receive enough calories to sustain her long term.

I'm currently listening to Glen Beck talking to a FLA paramedic who transported Terri for 20 min and feels she should receive an injection to put her out of her misery. God help you poor people in Florida

I feel that this case will really come back to haunt us. Poor Terri, may our prayers be answered.

No it is Not a done deal.

Surgeons can very easily operate and replace the Port of that feeding/Gastro-intestinal Tube at any time!

PRAYERS for TERRI SCHINDLER..TERRI WANTS TO LIVE!!!

And She NEEDS A BIG MIRACLE FROM THE LORD GOD!
