He won't allow her to have therapy to talk (she can say a few words), he won't allow her to have therapy to swallow better (she CAN swallow soft foods), he turns her family's pictures around in her room, won't allow her to go outside for some fresh air, won't allow sunlight in her room, won't allow her see the cute little dogs that are brought around to cheer patients, won't allow her teeth to be brushed, etc.

She's kept like a bird in a barren cage.
'Cos her husband keeps it bare.
No pictures, no music, no pets, no TV.
Her life is so lonely there.
But Terri is loved by her family
and by thousands from coast to coast.
Though her life has been sold for corrupt men's gold
she refuses to give up the ghost.

From A Bird in a Barren Cage.

That song sure sums it up.

With all of the support for Terri out there, it's so frustrating that we haven't been able her be freed.

"wont allow" ???

Isn't it against the law for the hospital to allow a guardian to "not allow" things that are required for general health such as visits, antibiotics, teeth brushing??

The hospital staff administrators should be arrested by any citizen who knows where they live.
