Surely the Lord has kept her going this long! I can't imagine though as I've had all I want to drink, and am still weak. Wish I had the medical training so I could know better what is going on, but will trust those of you who do to help me understand. I've been with several dying persons, so a part of it is clear. Just keep thinking her poor parents!

Rep. AttkissonThanks, I have been trying to get this name!

never have I had anything linger on my mind or weigh so heavy on my heart as much as this has.Me too...thanks for listening to God's whisper in your ear.
To: All
I am so glad to see something is happening for Terri. This has been overwhelming for me and my family to think that this could happen in America, and NOBODY RESPOND TO IT! Well, we responded, thank God. This is a textbook case for something I've been preaching for years now. This IS gubmint socialized medicine! If you want the government deciding whether or not you, your spouse, or your children live or die, then vote Democrat. If you want a say in your care, then fight it with all your might, because this is the bottom line. If you smoke, then a Democrat says you deserve to die, and we won't "waste" money on an idiot. If you eat at McDonalds, well, we can't afford to spend "our" money on your stupidity, etc, etc. The writing is on the wall, if someone else is paying, they make the rules.
I pray for Terri, but I also pray that my country will wake from it's slumber and think! If you are old,...too expensive. If you are disabled,.....too expensive. If you are not the right color, nationality, or sexual orientation,....not enough money in the budget. If you are a Republican, you are insane and we can't waste the peoples money on you. You get the picture, fill in the blank.
If you think I'm paranoid, then look at the laws we already have on the books. Hate speech...(they get to say whay you can say and not say).Abortion....(Its murder if you want the baby, but no problem if you don't.) At one time, it was discussed that a motocyclist accident victim with no helment wouldn't be treated if he had no insurance. The reason,.....We could use the money better on patients who wern't trying to die! If you are a gun owner, well you get the picture. Just let your mind boggle, and thats how bad it will be!

I'm so sorry...may God bring comfort and peace to you now. And remember, you will be reunited!

The senate doesn't have much time. If they drag their feet and debate for hours, I fear the worst.
If they waste too much time and fail Terri, They'll get no thanks for their effort from me.

The Senate is scheduled to hear the bill at 8:00AM. If all goes well, Terri should be receiving help before 10:00AM. That's 6 1/2 more hours.
To: ordinaryguy
No, less than that. Only about 4-5 hours.

The thing that has bothered me for some time is this:
Why can't Terri get hydration through an IV? Is that also considered part of the "no tubes for me" that she supposedly said to Michael?
The order by Greer concerns a "feeding tube", does it not?
Why does she have to suffer this excruciating dehydration also?
Doesn't make any sense whatsoever in a rational world.
It's the despicable dehydration that's been getting to me, as it should to anyone who takes even a
quick look at this case.

To: chuckles
I agree totally, although I think my family thinks I'm too involved. We have sat back and were silent for way too long while they have destroyed our beloved country.
To: Theodore R.
Schiavo is standing guard to prevent food and water tonight even as he lets the Schindlers come in and out as they please. He is trying to be "magnanimous" in victory.May he get a really big cramp in his foot! Sorry...just had to let it out.
To: trustandobey
There is no real way to know anything. She is young and strong and should be ok. I just worry and know too much.

The Senate intends to discuss at 9:00AM what to do with unclaimed lottery money. They're only allowing an hour for Terri's bill, so they won't be wasting too much time.
To: varina davis
Good stuff, thank you God.

To: Deo volente
I know. I hope they can put in a line after we get our second vote. I don't know the legalities of this.
Maybe it just means they put back the feeding tube.
It would be better to give her the IV.

Same here, If they have killed her, its because they chose to put this off. We remember.
To: ordinaryguy

Does anyone know what happened with the emergency petition filed by the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities? It was supposed to be heard today.
