Did you nkow that he changed careers to help her? Did you know that nurses and doctors testified under OATH that his care was so meticulous (HIS CARE) that she NEVER had a bedsore and that he nagged them constantly for better care for her?

Did you know that he took her to California and various treatment rehab facilities to try EVERYTHING that was recommended?

There is NO treatment that has ever been recommended for her by legitimate doctors that hasn't been done.

And don't mention the MRI. He even had electrodes imlanted in her brain in the hopes of stimulating brain activity and as such, she is now ineligible for an MRI.

Peach, I think all simple rehab efforts were stopped by Michael including keeping her from getting contractures from lying in bed.

And I think the docs recommended the stimulator be removed from her brain, the doc who put it in in California did from what I read, and M refused.

And swallowing therapy was thought to be of help and again refused.

This woman may have no prayer, indeed she has no prayer of a normal life but it seems just humane to keep trying to keep her from deteriorating. She is not comatose, is not in a PVS and is no worse off than a retarded kid with CP. It just doesn't seem right to starve her just because she is in bad shape when MS has so much suspicion attached to him. And I suspect the money issue, the parents wanting money, had more to do with MS living with them for a couple of years and money needed to care for her than some money hunger these people had.

I don't know about what is true here with so much stuff written, but if her parents will care for her and love her and MS has a new family, why not err on the side of that plan?

have copied your post in its entirety because i have not seen this information. can you source each paragraph for me and many others who might have missed these things.

Also, i would like to know, if during all that time (was this during the first several years, leading up to the settlement, and then the decision to abandon futher rehabilitative efforts) he indicated that she would not wish to continue?

and, we know that he has given up hope for her recovery, but how do we know what she wants?

do we have anything other than his statements? did i miss that too. please link and post.

you tell us that he was a loving husband and care-giver in the beginning of this tragedy, and that is important, but how do we know that he has not become something far different now?

i am not argueing with you, and if it seems that i am, please be assured that i am looking to you for affirmation of the very important points that you have made.

What was his career before he went into nursing? I don't believe I've seen that on any of the threads.
