Last night, praying after I left FR, I was mulling over the information slant which has been given this story by the media. I believe that we in the pro-life (from any perspective) movement ought to be grateful for this case no matter the outcome. The most useful outcome from our perspective, though, is that, after all of this, Terri is able to undergo sufficient therapy and recovers enough to communicate somehow... in any way. If that miracle occurs, we can then look back on this, and point to the skepticism of so many of the world's (Satan's?) agents expressed, and have them be condemned by their own words and stories.

Let them have their little party now, using words like "comatose" and "brain dead" and even worse. Now that Terri is going to be given a true Law Guardian to do some real fact finding, I am confident the truth will come out. I honestly don't know what that truth will be, but IF IT IS that she can recover at all, this could be a real turning point case for the whole pro-life movement, and everything which they are saying now will be weapons turned against them.

I, obviously, am praying that God see fit to grant this miracle.

I also, am asking Blessed Mother Theresa, who was pro-life above all, to pray and petition He whose side she is now at for this special boon.

Excellent! Blessed Mother Teresa needs a 2nd miracle, to be canonized. Terri's feeding tube was removed on the feast day of her name sake - St. Teresa of Avila.

I have asked St. Maximilian Kolbe's help. He exchanged his life for that of another prisoner in Auschwitz and was placed in the Starvation Chamber, where he died. He must have great sympathy for what Terri has endured.

My mother had three brain surgeries in the space of 6 months for a meningioma. After the third surgery, she underwent brain swelling and lay in a drug-induced coma for 30 days. She remembers hearing conversations during that time (some of which were dirty jokes told by the nurses and trust me, my mother wouldn't make up dirty jokes) and was aggravated at some of the staff for being slow to care for her.

She has recovered except for a balance problem which has left her unable to walk. Otherwise, she is sharp as a tack.

Because of this experience she had, and because of research like this, I believe that people with these problems should be cared for with love and patience, diligently looking to call them back to consciousness.

May Blessed Theresa intervene in Teri's case, to the joy of all who value life.

"everything which they are saying now will be weapons turned against them."

Liberals never accept the blame for anything, especially their own words proven wrong, even played back to them from a tape...

I too, thank the Lord for the miracle, of just overcoming the obstacle of the Florida courts!
