>>At this point, much of her cerebral cortex is simply gone and has been replaced by cerebral spinal fluid.

You're just repeating crap Mikey's "I'll testify to anything you want for the right price" doctor said.

Actually Terri has water on the brain, (hypoxic encephalopathy), and a crushed disk in her neck. The 2002 exam by the neurologist, who had seen hundreds of cases like these, had never seen BOTH conditions in one patient before except one other time, and that was in a strangulation case.

The fluid pressure is pushing down on her brain, making it easy for Felos to rig her x-rays to look all black. The attempted-murderers in New Jersey once said the same thing about Karen Ann Quinlan, but after she finally died a decade later, her autopsy proved her cortex was normal.

The patient can clearly swallow, and is able to swallow approximately 2 liters of water per day (the daily amount of saliva generated). Water is one of the most difficult things for people to swallow. It is unlikely that she currently needs the feeding tube. She should be evaluated by an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, and have a new swallowing exam.

Now answer me this Melas... If Terri is even the tiniest bit responsive, and if she can never get any better, and if her parents WANT to care for her for the rest of her life as-is, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE, then why should THAT bother you?

Documented Terri-vocabulary references
Words	Witness
"mommy" "momma" "help me"	nurse - Heidi Law, certified nurse assistant
"pay" (meaning 'pain' when she was in discomfort) 'Haaaiiiii' (meaning Hi, in response to 'Hi Terri') 'mommy' 'help me'	Nurse - Carla Sauer Iyer, R.N. "'Help me' was, in fact, one of her most frequent utterances. I heard her say it hundreds of times."
"stop" (in response to one medical procedure being done on her)	Terri's MediPlex records
"ugh-hugh" (meaning yes) "ugh-ugh" (meaning no) "yea" "No"	family members. 'yea' was a word she reportedly first re-learned to speak in 2002.

If anyone can recall other specific references please let me know

Photos of Terri AFTER her 'accident' (but BEFORE the malpractice award )
	Mikey used to allow Terri to be dressed up and taken to the Mall
	Mikey was proving to the jury how responsive Terri is...
	Mikey used to take Terri outside in a wheelchair...
	Now, Mikey doesn't allow Terri outside, ever! and won't let her have even a DONATED wheelchair

Question: Do these 2002 pics look like a Permanent Vegetative State?

From "Terri Big Eyes" video available at www.terrisfight.org

Terri starts out apparently asleep. A doctor wakes her to start his tests.

Doctor: Terri. Open your eyes up...

Terri: (Startled at hearing her name. She starts moving her mouth and fluttering her eyes, like a person who is just waking up)

Doctor: Open your eyes, Terri open your eyes

Terri: (slowly at first, Terri struggles to open her eyes, then turns toward the doctor, and opens her eyes a normal amount)

Doctor: There you go, good.

Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes as WIDE AS SHE CAN. Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )

Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job.
