I have glanced over this thread, so I don't know if it was brought up or not, but all they have to do is give her an IV in the arm to give her fluids. She could last for a month without food, but loosing her electrolytes can further damage her more than now. A feeding tube could take a couple of hours after she gets to an ER and after all the foot draging they could do to try and make it last till tommorrow or Tuesday. An IV with glucose takes 5 minutes at the hospice if someone would just authorize it.

I don't know if Terri was given an IV bearing fluids prior to having her feeding tube re-inserted the last time it happened. I would imagine though that they'll get liquids into her system as soon as possible. I'm not sure I'd trust anyone at the hospice to give Terri an IV.

I want to see Terri out of that place ASAP and into a place of safety.
