TERRI IS NOW BEING RE-HYDRATED. WE DID IT! BUT PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY, E-MAIL

Live report from Hospice

[ChemistCat]

They're trying to save her life right now; I'm not sure a room full of stuffed animals will help that. They do not permit flowers, etc., in the ICU at our local hospitals. I would ask a representative of the family before starting anything like that.

[EDINVA]

those were some of the most fun days of my LIFE !!!!!

The countdown to the certification by Harris... the goons Gore called to come from the Unions (all 20 of them) ... it was the most beautiful exercise of grass roots democracy EVER !!!!

[jwalsh07]

Same thing I see najida.

[Constantine XIII]

I'll bet you're all for population control, too, arenchya?

>:(

[greccogirl]

Ok Jorge. To believe that she is only being "reflexive" let's take it one step further. How many days, weeks or months would someone have to stand by Terri with a video camera until she "reflexes" in exactly the right way?

You are being foolish.

[wizardoz]

I have also heard experts state that people who are in a permanent vegetable state will do these things reflexively at times.

I've heard "experts" state that a five month old fetus is just a lump of tissue.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, certainly the family can keep them until she's better enough to go in a regular room.

[jwalsh07]

God bless your son and the parents who stuck by him.

[Jorge]

Actually, we've been looking at the videos of her looking around, making eye contact, smiling... but don't let that affect your judgement any. Just listen to the nice newscaster.

Funny, all the medical experts in this field have seen the same videos, examined her and concluded that she is in a permanent vegetive state with no hope of recovery.

But don't let the medical experts affect your judgement.

You know better don't you.

Thank you very much for the update!

I have also heard experts state that people who are in a permanent vegetable state will do these things reflexively at times. It doesn't mean they are alert.

I understand there are times that this is the case .. but these video's do show that she is alert

However, Judge Geer has refused any rehabilitation for this women .. he refused any tests to be done on this women .. he even refused to appoint her an independent guardian

Bottom line .. he refused Terry's her basic constitutional rights

"I got a mere gash in my foot once and saw the doctor in 10 minutes. It depends on when, and whether"

You are correct - that's why I always call around to the ERs first to see how crazy it is and baring an ambulance hauling in an unconscious head injury - how long it may be - I have always found the intake triage nurses to be most helpful.

We are blessed with 5 hospitals in our area (Oakland CA) so one can be a bit picky if there is time.

[Ladysmith]

Cute handle!!

[mrobison]

Interview we'd like to see:

CNN/Aaron Brown: So what are you going to do now?

Bob Schindler: I'm going to Disney World!

[wizardoz]

Your ignorance and arrogance about this case is astonishing.

Nah. Ignorance and arrogance always travel together. I'm only astonished when I see one without the other. It's like "Look, there's Cheech...!"

[pollywog]

Why don't you go to Terri's site and look at her videos and then decide for yourself whether Terri is in a "vegetative state" or not. I've watched the videos and she's Severely brain damaged but not vegetative!!

I especially like the music video where she smiles when they play a tape of piano music. The audios are SUPER and are definitely her trying to say " YES"....

[shhrubbery!]

the patient does not speak or obey commands

Terri can obey commands. Have you seen this video?

If not, make sure you watch it to the end. It lasts only about 30 seconds. The last 5 seconds are amazing.
