Kate Adamson was just on O'Reilly. Her witness was unbelievably wrenching.
She stated that when she heard Michael Schiavo say that removal of food and hydration was painless she could not believe it. As it turns out they removed her feeding tube for 8 days after diagnosing her as PVS and she said it was pure torture, unbearable and yet she did indeed bear it.

Her husband insisted they put the tube back in or he would sue everybody involved. He stated that he told the Drs that she would communicate with him by blinking but the Doctors would not believe him.

He's a lawyer though and promised that he wouldn't sue if they reinserted the g-tube. Some time later Mrs Adamson recovered and today looks wonderful.

They deserve big kudos for speaking out.

She was cognizant the entire time. She could see, hear and feel but not communicat with the outside world with the exception of very intermittent blinks. An amazing story.

The headline is misleading. A judge does not "block" the filing of papers with a court clerk. All that happened is that the family filed papers with the court asking for a replacement of the guardian. For all we know the judge was not even at work and could have been having a root canal. No news here
