The spiritual advisor of the Schindlers, Bro. O'Donnell, said the Dept. of Children and Families has had a new physician examine Terri and that "he DID go into her room and WAS at her side and DID observe her."
Department of Children and Families, are the department if someone is being physically abused, or the elderly, and "they have the authority" to take her into protective custody.
He continued, "what is being done to her now constitutes" that, and that DCF should "be taking her into protective custody."
Cooper: "Aren't people being taken off feeding tubes all the time?" Brother O'Donnell: "When they're DYING. But she was not dying. She could live another 20, 40 years."
"She's the only person who has been COURT ORDERED to have her tubes removed. Not 'The guardian MAY" but the guardian 'shall' remove her tubes."
CNN checked on the facticity of this last claim, and found that "There is ONLY ONE other case, Nancy Beth Cuzan in which the court ordered the tube MUST be removed."
Dr.Sanjay Gupta says if Terri is in the minimally conscious state, her eyes open spontaneously. She must do one of the following: --follow simple commands (to show she can hear and understand) --give yes or no responses
Did they say anything about her present physical condition??
ABC News reported on this doctor and it was an eye opener alright.
Peter Jennings and ABC's doctor have a copy of the papers that Jeb Bush is filing today with the "new" evidence that she might not be PVS.
ABC's doctor read from the last page.
The "new" doctor was in the room for 90 minutes, during that time Terri did not exhibit any sounds, no eye movement, no recognition -- nothing.
But he then went on to say something like, "But you get the sense she can."
It is becoming more and more clear to me that the people who want Terri dead are the ones whose hearts have stopped.
May they burn in Hell.
If true, this may be another angle being pursued.
Keep Praying folks!!
Where's he been for 15 years?
well she hasn't eaten or had fluids for six days.
She sounds like she's doing very poorly.
Well, she's been without water and nutrition for five days now. No wonder.
/sarcasm
They might burn in hell, but for goodness' sake, let's not hope for it.
Pray for your enemies.
That's a good point.
But I do think that since her 4 guardian ad litems have all said she is PVS, even the guy who does not believe in ever removing life saving equipment of any kind including feeding tubes, that we can rest assured she is. Unfortunately.
Her parents also admitted under oath they know she's PVS. All her doctors who treated her for the first 3 years and her therapists.
She has been starved and dehydrated for 5 days, did ABC expect her to get up and dance?
Choose life!
OK, but how does that change the fact she needs feeding tubes? her husband wants to get rid of her and will on that alone.
I don't feel like praying for Terri's enemies. I want them to burn in Hell.
Cajungirl,
Thank you, so much for typing faster than I do.
Helped me to restrain myself.
Why didn't someone call the DCF hotline and complain before -- someone called three weeks ago with a complaint. Also heard on our local news that DCF has had a hard time getting any information from that Hospice in the last three weeks but this morning they have enough new information to take custody and if the judge didn't rule in their favor, they would take custody without that judge.
Well they can't expect her to do any of that now, she hasn't eaten or and a drop of hydration for days. It's going to take days to get her back in shape to even test her.
