Excellent point, Terri digests the food that comes through the tube. Also, I believe she could be fed by mouth vs. the tube for a lot more $$. We know Michael wasn't spending that award money on flowers for Terri's room! How many times do you think he brang flowers to the one in the wings though? It appears the one in the wings is covered in Terri's roses now.
I understand that when people have brain damage, in time they lose ability to swallow. That is why they put feeding tube in. But, I am not a doctor nor a nurse.

The roses' thorns are dipped in blood.
