Schiavo 'fading quickly,' parents tell court
MSNBC ^ | March 22, 2005 | The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. - Warning that Terri Schiavo is "fading quickly," her parents begged a federal appeals court Tuesday to order the severely brain-damaged woman's feeding tube reinserted while they pursue claims that her rights are being violated.

David Gibbs III, attorney for parents Bob and Mary Schindler, told the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta that their 41-year-old daughter might die before they get a chance to fully argue their case. The appeal came after a federal judge in Tampa rejected the parents' emergency request earlier Tuesday.

"Where, as here, death is imminent, it is hard to imagine more critical and exigent circumstances," Gibbs said in the appeal, filed electronically with the court. "Terri is fading quickly and her parents reasonably fear that her death is imminent."

Do you have Jeb's?? After all, he is the one who should take action to save her life, before POTUS . . .

What about a number for George Sr. and Barbara. They ought to be bearing very heavily upon their sons who have such power to save Terri's life. And that George Jr. ought to be extremely concerned too. If these two Bushes(W & Jeb) are in these positions of power and fail to act to save Terri, people aren't going to be inclined to turn to another Bush for leadership.
God help us all, especially me a sinner.

I hate to even fathom what will happen to this poor lady. But if the worst does happen, I hope the moral decent people in this country make Terry Schiavo their rallying cry in 2006 & 2008 and get these damned liberal judges out the of the courts!

This puts a stain on this country.

God will count those who have mourned for this travesty, or done something to fight it. The rest of the country better watch out, or else He is soon going to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Hannity just made Michael's Shiavo's doctor (Cransford) quack... He "examined" Terri only 45 minutes, never had an MRI ordered, complimented her on "following the balloon" and has 33 medical professionals at odds with him. He (Cransford) also once wrote that altzhiemers patients have no right to feeding tubes..etct..

Do you know why a MRI was never ordered? Because she has a metal piece in her head which makes her having a MRI impossible.

ANd now the nurse who took care of Terri is on.

HEre is her affidavit:


http://www.apfn.org/apfn/aff2-terri.pdf

The nurse testifies that Michael didn't want anything done for Terri, including medically necessary treatments, such as giving her antibiotics, that Terri actually used to speak, felt pain, and indicated when she was in pain, that MS acted happy, when Terri got ill and made statements, like "when is the b&^ch going to die"

"One truly has to wonder if it's intentional, hoping she'll die and remove this little "problem" from their schedules."

I'm more than sure it's intentional by those who want to see Terri die. There are, however, those (very few politicians among them) who are sincerely fighting to save Terri. The president, the governor, and most of the politicos are not of this latter category. In fact, just like Michael Schiavo, they're dying to see Terri die.

"I have quit jobs for a lot less than this insanity!"

I, too, would have left years ago and joined Terri's Camp. Muck their job!

God bless you.

I hope you were being sarcastic.

Well, the day that this woman who was arrested for trespassing is sent to a camp, where she is either worked to death, gassed, or used for sick medical experiments, THEN I will think that the comparison to those Pinellas County cops to Nazis is applicable.

But not until then.

I agree with you. They are Nazis. God will bless Lana for trying to help poor Terri and the worst kind of hell is waiting for those who are participating in this murder of an innocent.

Are there no folks ready to break their way in (along with someone medically knowledgeable enough to start an IV). Do you really think the police are going to fire on someone? I mean we need a few good big men to muscle their way in.

I think there are some, but they are waiting for you to fly down from South Dakota and help them...

Everyone who supports hydrating Terri should send water to the hospice. That would trump their phony polls showing 60% want to see her starved to death.
