Where does the case go now - to the Florida Supreme Court? What are the prospects there?

To the appellate court, the Second District Court of Appeals in southwest Florida.

The appellate court has already ruled that Baird did not err when he called the law "presumptively unconstitutional."

Perhaps a technicality might reverse this decision, but most judicial experts had predicted that "Terri's Law" would be found unconstitutional by the trial court, the appellate court, and Florida Supreme Court.
