Hey Jorge, Let me tell you a story.

The rest of you who have heard my daughters story, go ahead and read on to the next post.. Jorge and I have some things to discuss about the "medical knowledge" of doctors.

My daughter, at 7 months in utero, was diagnosed with Pompes Disease, now, assuming you dont know anything about this disease, it is a torturous vile disease, death is the result. They told me that my daughter would die within 2 weeks in utero, and that I should "merficully" End her life thru an abortion. I chose to get a second opinion. That doctor told me that my daughter did not have this disease, but did not know what she had, he also agreed that her life would end before she was born and that I should not do anything "Extra Ordinary" to try to preserve this fetus. I disagreed and did my own research. I requested to be put on Digoxin, the only heart medication that passed thru the placenta. Emmas heart, at this point, was 75% of her chest cavity. It was a long shot, but it was a still a shot. My daughter was in the last stages of heart failure and I was not willing to write her off just yet. I spent the rest of my pregancy in the hospital, on my side, 4 hours away from my family (my second opinion was in a different city). My daughter was born via Emergency C~section, which again was discouraged by my doctors, because I was putting myself thru an "uneeded operation" for a child who would die during or shortly after birth. I again disagreed and off to surgery we went. While in surgery, a nurse asked me to sign DNR papers, again, i refused. My daughter was born, granted she only whimpered, but she was alive. They asked me, while they were during CPR on her whether or not I wanted to put her on life support, i had just told them that I would not sign DNR papers, so I thought i had made myself very clear. I yelled at the top of my lungs "YES, for the last time I want my child to live".

During the next 15 days, my daughter was on an ocsillator (high frequency vent, breathing over 200 breaths a minute mechanically). I was told she would die every day, was instructed by doctors daily that i should turn the machines off, that I should let her die peacefully, but you see, I knew my daughter, I knew her better than anyone else. I knew that this little girl had a fight in her that amazed me, and until she gave me the permission to let her die, I would fight for her to live. In those two weeks, I was told my daughter had over 15 different diseases or syndromes, all of which were fatal and WRONG. Every day I woke up I knew that another test result would prove these "medical professionals" wrong.

After 15 days of sitting in a level 3 NICU, the doctors finally came to me and said "Mrs.George, we dont think your daughter is going to die, we need to transport her to another fascility"... my response was "Ya think? Ive been telling you this for over 2 weeks." Emma was transported to ACH in St. Petersburg Florida where she was immediately listed for transplant. We were told that the average wait for transplant for Emmas size and blood type was 2 weeks, but that they did not feel that she would make it that long. She lasted 4 months waiting for her new heart. She suffered a level 3 heartblock, heart rate was in the 20s, after having her heart shocked she opened her eyes and looked around as if to say "why the heck are you shocking me with that thing?" and started playing with her broviac line.

My daughter, who was condemned to death 2 months before her birth, waited 4.5 months on life support for a donor heart, and now is a beautiful little two year old who happens to be fed by a G~tube 21.5 hours a day.

Let me tell you about the "medical professionals". If I had listened to them, my daughter would have died long long ago. Do I trust their judgement, you bet your arse I do, Do I blindly hand my child over to them, not in a million years. They are not God, they make mistakes. In My daughters 2 years of life, I can count atleast 25 doctors who got it wrong.

Blind faith is not something I give away freely. The best of the best doctors make mistakes daily.

I am glad to see that you put such so much stock in the words of a mere mortal, I pray that you never are put in the position to have your faith shattered when they are wrong about one of your loved ones.

Blessings,
~Heather

Thanks honeygrl (regarding #887). I have that page bookmarked for future reference. I have a hunch it might be important.

I saw a video of Terri on O'Reilly. She was alert. She certinly was no comatose. A problem with this case is that it apparently was never investigated as a possible attempted murder.

[iowamomforfreedom]

Thank you for posting this, pc93. These frontline updates are especially welcome. And I would like to personally thank you for all the time and hard work you have put into this.

One thing I would really like to know is did MS find Felos, or did Felos find MS? My suspicion is that Felos initiated the contact, but that is just my guess. It's probably something we'll never know for sure. At any rate, I am looking for justice to be done TO ALL PARTIES - MS, Felos, AND Greer. I'd like to see it here on earth, but am comforted to know it definitely will happen when they leave this earthly plane.

[katnip]

Wow! What a story. Thanks for posting it.

Emma is a precious doll.

"Sorry about the religious rant..but remember...Jesus was not Catholic, Lutheran or Methodist..ect..He was JEWISH. And so were the writers of the New Testiment. I pray that all denominations will look to and seek God, because God has His people planted everywhere. :) "

Thank you! That needed to be said. It is part of the great lesson we are being taught here.

Jhn 17:11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE [ARE]. [ ***see more here : http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jhn/17/11.html ]

NOW, what in the world is going on with Terri??? Does anyone even know if in fact she has ever, truly received an IV? Why doesn't Jeb arrest MS?? He's breaking THE LAW we keep hearing so much about!

"Barbara Streisand as someone evil "

ROTFL! Evil OR stupid.

[dixiegrrl]

Emails sent!

[WackySam]

Come on, there has to be a part for Micheal Moore in there somewhere.

[Ethan_Allen]

You need to write a book about Emma's story. She's beautiful, and God obviously knew what He was doing when He sent her to you. God Bless.

[dixiegrrl]

What a beautiful little girl!

[NebraskaTrailrider]

Michael Moore as the fat senator who tried to block the bill yesterday...can't remember his name.

[Graymatter]

Yes, pray hard. Her legal guardian and his attorney are in total control of her fate. And they intend to kill her. That much is certain.

[tutstar]

well, I found some interesting stuff I think, one of which is that Judge Greer is on the Committee for Guardianship Monitoring yet he dismissed the GAL findings of Richard Pearse at Felos' request.

[floriduh voter]

Consider that we practically shut down Fla. Govt. for the past two months. Word from the front lines is to take a pause and wait for breaking news on the hearing that is taking place today. If we need to mobilize, that would only take 5 minutes. I couldn't believe this thread began at approx. 9:00 pm last night was over 900 posts or so when I got home a few hours later. I literally was typing in the dark at the Vigil with a flashlight shining on a laptop. Thanks to everybody who jumped on this thread last night and contacted Del. Marshall. I'd never heard of him. FV
