Has in fact, the Florida law been changed to classify feeding tubes as life support?

I tried googling, but all I could find was that, in one filing, Gibbs (the family's lawyer) argued that, even if Terri had expressed the intention Michael claims, feeding tubes were not considered life support under Florida law in the 80s. Sounds like the law has been changed since then; as I said, I read on FR that Felos was an advocate for changing it.

So Felos petitioned the court to change the law as it stood in Florida to make feeding tubes considered "life support"? And that's why the feeding tube was allowed to be removed from Terri? And all we hear today is that Congress and the President should not have intervened in this case to change the law for one person. Did that not happen already in Terri's case by Felos then?
