*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.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.
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.
Maybe you should get out while you still can. :-)
I thought you were in PA!
I knew that and when I emailed him last year I made mention of his apostasy. He did not answer my email. What makes him click I wonder? Besides insanity...
Same here. I emailed him about leaving the church. No reply.
"Some ten or more years after the autopsy it was finally revealed that in fact, her cerebral cortex was in quite good shape after all."
With Terri's level of responsiveness and awareness, I find it hard to believe that her cerebral cortex is all fluid. I wouldn't be surprised if her cerebral cortex is in better shape than Karen's was.
You are awesome, Scoop! What would we do without you? (Been there, done that!)

Subject: Re: Terri Schiavo Emergency: Call Sens. Hatch and Graham: Emergency
Dear Fr. Pavone and Ms. Worthington:
I have been asked by Florida Free Republic.com members who are trying to save Terri's life to once more urge contact with Senator Orin Hatch of Utah, and also to add Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
These men need to know that Terri has been held in a hospice for five years paid for by Medicaid even though she was never dying, and that her stay there has been very abusive. My fellow warriors for Terri tell me they have personally informed the USDOJ and the USHHS Cabinet Depts. about this and urged them to investigate it as well as her abuse as a disabled person and her lack of civil rights in never having herself represented in court by counsel, but they have done nothing so far.
SURELY YOU KNOW, IT APPEARS FL IS ABOUT TO STARVE/DEHYDRATE HER NOW, TO HER DEATH. I want someone who is more important than lowly little me to impress on these Senators that if the state of Florida starts putting Terri to death, only the Feds could stop it, and that they are as obligated as the state to enforce the laws, rules and regulations that can save her life. Fr. Pavone and Priests for Life could get a foot in that Senate door that I could not get into.
Please....and thank you in advance if you will do this!

Personal to Fr. Pavone:
I heard Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah speak on the Senate floor the other day, and he was exposing judicial corruption in an Illinois county. He said that junk lawsuits always win the day there, because the system is so rigged against the plaintiffs, there is no justice possible. A rigged system and no justice? I immediately thought of Terri!
So I e-mailed him, and encouraged others to do so and/or to call his office about getting the DOJ and the HHS on the hook for not investigating the probable attempted murder, ongoing abuse and upcoming murder of the disabled Terri - who is in a hospice(even though she is not dying) being paid for by Medicaid and whose injuries very possibly at her husband's hand have never been investigated by the state - in that not just state standards but federal standards have been broken in her case. Please, Fr. Pavone, will YOU get in touch with Sen. Hatch? He needs to stop this crime by making a statement and calling the heads of DOJ and HHS and the President if needed...because {{{the system in Pinellas county and most of FL cannot or will not protect this child of God.}}}
Even the SCOTUS refused to hear the Gov.'s case because they relied on false "facts" developed by Judge Greer, who cannot wait to kill Terri.
Any photos of Michael Schiavo's mistress Jodi?
Is Jay Sakelow's (spell?) legal organization still involved in this fight?? Haven't heard anything about him lately, and I wish he were involved today. Why wouldn't the ACLU get involved in a case about discrimination of a disabled person??
I don't know if it is true or not, but someone commented that ACLU was actually supporting Michael.
LOL
An officer pulled one of the brothers aside and asked him why he was wearing a dark cape.
ROFLMAO!!!
Beautiful, pc! You guys are doing a great job! Keep praying!
Thanks for the ping.
"Examination of internal organs showed bronchopneumonia, pyelitis, cystitis and a periprostatic fistula with loculated pus." ( this is from the dehydration for the most part, makes me sick)
"The features described above confirm that Tony Bland had suffered extensive and severe anoxic brain damage. Not unusually in such cases the damage was not entirely uniform as can be seen from the photographs. It is also evident that his brain was not a liquified mass, as some commentators had suggested" ( apparently this is a popular thesis in more than just our country)
"We have therefore two cases with similar presentation (anoxic brain damage) and with similar clinical features (persistent vegetative state). Although pathological examination in both cases confirmed severe anoxic damage, there are significant differences not only in the degree of damage but also in the main site of damage. Although our understanding of cerebral function is quite extensive, with mapping at the functional level of the motor and sensory cortex and a fairly sophisticated understanding of some of the processing that occurs in both the retina and visual cortex, there are also vast areas of the brain (the so called silent areas) where we have very little understanding of their function. The experience of neurosurgeons regularly reveals how, in some cases of trauma and tumours, large areas of the brain can be removed and yet there is good post operative functional recovery. Conversely slight damage to other small areas of the brain can have devastating clinical effects."
"The authors of the article describing Karen Quinlan's pathological findings draw attention to the limitations of our understanding of the neuroanatomical basis for human consciousness. At one time consciousness was though to reside in the cortex, then came our understanding of the limbic system and the role of the brain stem reticular formation in cerebral arousal. The findings in Karen Quinlan's brain suggested that the thalamus played a more crucial role in consciousness and awareness than was previously thought."
I can't get to Karen Quinlan's autopsy on a home computer, so when I found this I wanted to put it to good use.
Save it for the "experts" who pop in here from time to time.
True, but if the Federal Government steps in and puts a stop to it, won't that add a layer of protection for citizens in every state?
Right and......
"Greer has a pattern of bias towards the Schindlers, having repeatedly denied their motions:"
Right again!
This one should get me a reply : )

I compare Terri's condition to that of a toddler, which helps people get that she's regressed to the point of not being able to care for herself or feed herself or verbalize her wishes very well.
It may not be technically correct, but it's closer than what these others say, coma.
And then it's easier to get people to see that you wouldn't put a toddler to death because of that condition. It's all I can think of.
People can't seem to understand brain-damage.
