*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*
The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.
Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 VIEWS!!!!!!
More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.
Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.
Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.
Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.
See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!
The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.
Isn't there something called double jeopardy.. what about triple?
Done, cm. I have already signed several.
Agreed. A good idea!
Thanks. Sometimes I get so wound up that I just start ranting. I really do think the stakes are this high.
Terri's bishop, Robert N. Lynch of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, has openly stated that the Schindlers should allow Terri to die.
Terri's family met with Bishop Lynch in his office on two separate occassions. Each time, Lynch said there was nothing he could do. Lynch warned the priests in the diocese not to get involved with Terri's case. Those who have shown support for Terri have been ostracized by Lynch.
Terri's priest and friend of the family, Monsignor Thaddeus (Ted) Malanowski, is one of a handful of priests in the diocese who openly support Terri and her family. Lynch has given the cold shoulder to Mons. Malanowski, which causes him much saddness.
Monsignor visits Terri every Saturday and has been doing so for the last 4 years. Terri enjoys Monsignor's Polish songs and jokes.
Michael is not a practicing Catholic, but apparently his mistess Jodi Centonzi is. She regularly attends Mass at a Catholic Church in Safety Harbor, which is near Clearwater. Jodi and Michael's last child was baptized in the Catholic Church even though the priest was aware that they are not married.
When Karen Ann Quinlan was taken off the VENTILATOR, she began breathing on her own and was fed by a FEEDING TUBE. TEN YEARS LATER SHE DIED A NATURAL DEATH - while on a FEEDING TUBE.
To say removing Terri's FEEDING TUBE is ANALGOUS to taking Karen Ann Quinlan off a VENTILATOR is INCREDIBLY FLAWED and a bold faced LIE.
Please read the above comment.
Gov. Bush must act. Put the legalities aside and save this woman. Sort out the legalities later.
See Sun's post 2055 and make those calls.
I just quickly told my priest that they wanted to remove FL Terri Schiavo's feeding tube for the third time. For a second I thought I could see puzzlement on his face, but my comment refreshed his memory. It's worth a try & it worked for me. :)
If your clergyman doesn't know about it, tell him you will send him some info. in the mail.
You can quickly copy a nutshell version from one of the posts, print it, and send it to him.
Here's my nutshell version:
Terri Schiavo was in a marriage on the rocks, and had bruises and would explain them away, by telling her family that she and her husband were just fooling around.
At 28 years of age Terri collapsed from mysterious circumstances.
Michael and FL courts want to remove Terri's feeding tube for the third time. Ironically Terri can swallow and could swallow better with therapy. However, Michael won't allow any kind of therapy for Terri. One time when they took away Terri's tube, Terri's brother & sister fed her soft food with a spoon, but were banned from seeing Terri for feeding Terri by Michael. And FL Judge Greer said: "I don't want anyone feeding that girl."
A nurse testified that she fed Terri jello which she immensely enjoyed.
Terri can say a few words, and tries to talk, but needs therapy, to talk better. Again, Michael won't allow therapy.

Terri Schiavo wants to live
Family reveals secret therapy sessions held for brain-disabled woman scheduled to die

Terri Schindler-Schiavo does not want to die. She would like to go home. And she tried to convey this to her father in no uncertain terms by sitting bolt upright and trying to get out of her chair when told she might be killed, her family has revealed.
The stunning news was released at noon Eastern today by Terri's father, Robert Schindler, at the 'round-the-clock vigil outside the Woodside Hospice facility in Pinellas Park, Fla., where his daughter's court-ordered death by starvation is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 2 p.m. Eastern. At that time, her husband and legal guardian Michael Schiavo is scheduled to give the order to disconnect the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman's feeding tube that has provided her with sustenance for the past 13 years.
In an interview a few hours earlier, Schindler described the incident to WorldNetDaily. He said he was holding a cell phone to Terri's ear as she listened intently to the speaker, propped in her jerry-chair at about a 30-degree angle. Suddenly she sat up straight and tried to get out of her chair, despite her weak legs and muscles that were slack from lack of exercise.
His daughter's response stunned Schindler, who grabbed the phone and asked, "My God, what did you tell her?"
The speaker said he had warned, "If you don't get up and get out of there, you're going to die there."
"He was ecstatic when I told him what Terri had tried to do," Schindler said.
(Excerpt)
to you, too!Here's a really great summary about Terri by a nurse who wrote to the Holy Father. Thankfully, the Holy Father came through, though I don't know if he saw this specific letter.
But for a brief summary, here's the letter:

Thanks for the ping.
It makes sense to me.
I think it would be a great idea if we contacted Terri's bishop. Does anyone know his name, phone # and/or e-mail?
Unfortunately, while U.S. Catholic bishops and priests support Terri, there are some bad bishops who will have to face God some day. Of course, I don't know both sides of the story, but he should be pressued to do the right thing.
Also, it might be a good idea to write "letters to editor" to Catholic papers in FL. If interested, you can go to Catholicpress.org, click Diocesan newspapers (left side bar), and click Florida.
The suggestions you made today are good ones.
