I believe the feeding tube was pulled at the time. That is why they tried to feed her.

Judge Greer's standing order was filed long before the feeding tube was pulled, since if Terri were proven to be able to swallow that would remove any and all legal basis for killing her.

When he had the feeding tube pulled, he reiterated his demands, but that does not mean they were valid. I think Bush et al. were hoping that he could take action with the legislature rather than having to act unilaterally. I don't know for certain what he'd do if acting unilaterally was the only choice.

I don't think so. I think Terri got a stay. I will find out for sure when I get on my other computer tomorrow. I am sure I bookmarked this.
