This is awesome news. But I guess it's not over yet? Let's keep praying! And there's still time to email!

[katnip]

I'm praying for a miracle. That this woman could survive 7 days with no water.

I am afraid that Felos and company will do something to speed her death now that they've heard this news :-(

[Chuckster]

I knew that. Just keepin' ya honest. d;^)

[CindyDawg]

Who do we call to get them there tonight?

[Diverdogz]

I think they said it will get taken up tomorrow morning. Like I said, tonight was an exercise in grandstanding. If they were serious about helping Terri, they wouldn't wait another 8 hours.

[Old Student]

She is in an airconditioned room, without much physical activity. She may be in good enough shape to keep going for a few more hours. She may already be gone, for all intents and purposes. It is not over, yet.

[MarMema]

keep praying...

[WackySam]

can you post that as a link to a website, I use webmail.

I don't have a link to a website, just the email addresses. You can right click the link and go to properties then copy and paste the addresses into your message

[FR_addict]

I'd like to see a new lawyer represent the family. The one that have has her heart in the right place, but she is not a very good advocate for the family.

[alexandria]

IT'S A YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WuHHOOO!!! Now Quick! Get that Fl hospice on the phone and tell them to run an IV to hydrate STAT! Or maybe better an NG tube with Pedialite? her veins may not take an IV right now.

[Diverdogz]

It is not a miracle that she has survived this long. Right when they pulled the feeding tube, doctors said she would probably die within 7 to 10 days. Tomorrow at 2 pm will be 6 full days.

[katnip]

If you could see the candles lit all over my house...

[agrace]

Most definitely praying - prayer is our biggest weapon now anyway, senate or no senate, since she's been without water for almost 6 full days.

[diamond6]

The children (adults) need to start bringing the parents home to live with them. Thats what I want to do.

[apackof2]

But if the Senate has to vote on it what is the soonest Terri could get water tommorow???

[Lanza]

I agree.

It's their political cover in case something happens. They should have done something months ago.

However, let's not underestimate Terri. This girl has fought off illnesses without medicaton that would have killed someone in her condition. She's a fighter with a purpose.

I am going to keep the faith that she will hang on.

[workerbee]

I don't get why a Florida Senator gets to sleep while Terri gets no water.

It brings to mind those children they found in that Iraqi prison. The ones who had been there for X-number of years... while the UN "discussed" what to do about Saddam and gave the inspectors "more time". So now, Terri has to dehydrate some more until some senators can rouse themselves from sleep and find the time to vote?

[diamond6]

Don't we have to wait for the senate to approve it before the tube goes back in?

[Terriergal]

husband Michael Schiavo said Monday that he, too, is grieving

Bwaaahahaha! Grieving that he hasn't been able to take off one his honeymoon tour with his insurance agent girlfriend yet.

[katnip]

I'm not sure you can live too long without water.

Food is different.
