She's hasn't been helped in all the years past because her husband has stopped all therapy, ordered that NO therapy be given her. Terri was able to talk a few words, used to sit at the nurses station and interact with people and was able to eat from a spoor or fork when fed....but hubby put a stop to all of that. He's forbidden her to be taken outside, he's forbidden her window curtains to be opened, etc.....he's shut her off from the world. He had the spoon feeding stopped and insisted she be fed through a tube instead.

He stopped rigorous therapy after 3 years by her parents own admission. Doctors had been telling him it was hopeless long before then. See GAL Wolfson's report and the comment and link at bottom of blue section on my profile. Read archived local news for more.

That comes from very non-credible Carla Iyer and, in small parts, from 2 nurse assistants. Link to why judge threw those out on my page, and know that their comments fly in the face of what the other nurses said, and what the GALs said. I posted earlier tonight how Carla sat next to GAL Pearse and his reaction to her outrageous claims.

No, she was given the tube before she ever left the first hospital. She failed the 3 annual swallow tests they gave her the 1st three years while she was being given therapy. The last one said after all that, it was no use testing again.

In '93, GAL Wolfson recommended new tests, tho, and I do wish all his recommendations had been heeded. The Schindlers asked that he be reinstated, but since he had been there under Terri's law and it was found unconstitutional... sad.
