My hope is that the Bill passes and is signed by Jeb tomorrow EARLY. Then, as I understand it,
the feeding tube would be immediately reinserted.

My fear tonight is that Terri has already suffered significant damage from being without water for so long, and that providing the proper medical treatment will be subject to the whim of Michael Schiavo, the all-powerful "guardian", and his enabler, the Hanging Judge Greer.

I hope that Jeb has some trusty State Troopers ready to escort Terri to an ICU.

My guess is that without an IV asap she will be in serious trouble, but it is interesting to wonder what will happen. I have been thinking she would not be in good enough shape to take to surgery for a reinsertion of the tube. I don't know if they need to anesthetize to reinsert, but I think they do.

They can put one down her nose very quickly though and get her hydrated that way.

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.
