Terri goes Goo~Goo eyes over Attorney Gibbs

Last night at hospice Terri's father, Robert Schindler and Attorney Gibbs visited with Terri. Mr. Schindler was the first to enter Terri's room, approaching Terri on her right. As always, Terri was delighted to see her Dad until Mr. Schindler announced that Mr. Gibbs was with him.

Mr. Gibbs moved closer to Terri's left greeting her with, "Hello Terri."

Terri, hearing Mr. Gibb's deep voice immediately turned to her left to look at him. Terri's Dad stated that once she eyed Mr. Gibbs that was the end of his visit with her because she was no longer interested in anything he had to say to her..."she was goo-goo eyes over Attorney Gibbs."

Mr. Schindler then exclaimed, "Terri, Terri, look at me. I've come here to see you as well and now you cannot take your eyes off of Attorney Gibbs, what am I chopped liver?" Terri responded with laughter to her father's comment but her eyes remained focused on Mr. Gibbs.

Bob said,"Well, Cheryl that's the last time I will be taking Mr. Gibbs along with me since my daughter did not hear anything I had to say once he had her attention."

How this wounded woman would cry if this dear man could hold her in comfort ... how safe she would feel.

What a sweet story -- wonderful! I really really appreciate these personal posts. PLEASE -- I hope you will also post that to some of the other running threads where people need to know Terri's real condition.

May the cover be blown of this finally and completely.

Terri responded with laughter to her father's comment

I heard Terri laugh on a video I watched yesterday -- one I had never seen before.

Terri's dad was joking to her about how when she was a child, she used to make one eye go crosseyed, apparently to tease her mother.

Terri burst out laughing at this! It was wonderful to hear, but I think many people would not understand the sounds she made as laughter.

But in my experience with people who have cerebral palsy, their laughter often sounds exactly like Terri's.

You all really need to see amdgmary's post about the visit Mr. Schindler and Atty. Gibbs had w/Terri last night. Wow.

Is there any doubt we're talking about a real person here?

OFF, this is worth a ping and wide posting!

Terri goes Goo~Goo eyes over Attorney Gibbs

My first reaction to this was, "Oh, isn't that sweet, she still has hormones!"

But then I thougt "Still has hormones my butt!!" ANY NORMAL lonely girl gets "goo-goo" over a cute guy that pays attention to her!!!

If Michael has allowed no neurologist types to test her for anything, do we know for a fact that she isn't any less aware of her surroundings than you or me???

Who is "Cheryl Ford, RN?" Does she work in the hospice, and was she a witness to this? (And is she going to get fired for writing this if that's the case?) Who did she write this for? Has this been published anywhere, and if not, why not?
