Responding to your request for a report on what the Schindler family said on Glenn Beck's program, I submit the following: Terri's father, Bob; brother, Bobby; and sister, Susie, were briefly on the program.
After he found out the news that Terri was to be rehydraded Bob walked into her room, which was still heavily guarded, stepped over to Terri and whispered in her ear: "Baby, you're going to be enjoying a big milkshake." He said a smile came over her face in response.
Bob said that the ordeal had been especially hard on his wife---that she had endured an undescribable living hell over this.
Susie said that she was elated that Terri is now getting fluid, but that Terri's body had to be in good working order before she could be given food. Susie said she was still cautious (about the outcome) because of the continuing legal battle.
Bob opined that it would be wonderful if Michael would just give up his fight and let the family take care of Terri.
Bobby said that the situation tugged at his heart knowing that he could do nothing to help his sister.
Glenn Beck asked Bob if he was bowled over when Gov. Bush met with them, or if he saw it coming? Bob responded that there had been contact beforehand from Bush's office, indicating that they were trying to do something. Of his meeting with Gov. Bush he said "the guy is genuine." During the meeting Susie asked the governor if there was someone higher up that he could call on to help in the situation. Bush broke up laughing.
Ending the interview Beck said that initially he had fought against Terri, and that is something that he regrets. He indicated that after he did some independent research he changed his view. Choking up and on the verge of tears, Beck said that he was glad that he had been given the opportunity to change his ways.

Thanks for the update! Here's some feedback to share with others.
From EnvoyEncore Blog, author Dwight Longenecker reports the following from England:
Congratulations to pro-life activists in the USA. The Terry Schiavo case was widely reported in the UK press today. This news reverberates around the world through the BBC, and the story will make all eugenticists, euthanasia proponents and abortionists take pause.
I believe battle lines are being drawn around the world on some very key issus. Catholics must be prepared to fight with some very unusual partners in the years ahead. Glimpses of this new alliance are already there in the held hands between Evangelicals and Catholics as well as the alliance with decent human beings of other faiths around the world.
It is not wrong to stand with Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists in defence of human rights, the right to life, the right to morality and the right to the fullness of God's abundant way of life.
Keep the faith, keep the fight and keep an eye to the future.

Are Terri's kidneys damaged? Other organs? Six days of massive doses of morphine would kill anyone - if they were deprived of food and water. BASTARDS!!!!!!!!
