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
I think the husband is under the gun too. Larger powers have control of this and if he backs out, he gets the whole 9 yards of prosecution for neglect and attempted homicide...
G'night!
Please, I don't mean to sound ridiculous, I am reaching deep inside my spirituality to find some help for her, and hope for all of us. We know there were miracles, most of us believe they happened. But, just in the past? Perhaps the modern day miracles get "poo-pooed" and ignored, or are small, but they are happening. At this time, with all the world watching, a miracle that helps to save Terri is what I pray for.
"Dear God, in Your infinite mercy, and wise judgement grant that Terri Schiavo be saved from the evil darkness that surrounds her. Bring those into the light who now intend to harm her. Shine brightly upon her, her family, and Your children who so need You to act in her favor. Give Terri the strength to endure, beyond all medical and known comprehension, the trial she is now suffering. Bring a miracle upon her so believers and non-believers world-wide alike can see the enormity of Your powers and the strength of pure love. We humbly ask this of you, Our Father, from whom all kindness eminates, and all good flows. We ask this for Terri and for the world that has hardened its heart because of evil's poison. We beg for Your greatest act of compassion, and Your greatest sign of power to bring Terri out of the fog and into the sunshine of this glorious Easter Season. Amen
I keep having to correct this. Judge Greer didn't order just the feeding tube to be removed, he ordered that ALL nutrition and hydration be ceased.
You can see the actual document HERE.
Here are the relevant portions:
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion for Emergency Stay filed on February 15, 2005 is DENIED. It is furtherThis clearly is not the order for removal of "artificial life support" or even the removal of a feeding port - it is undeniably the order to starve Terri Schiavo to death. It is like ordering a plastic bag to be tightly tied over someone's head as their respirator is being unplugged - entirely denying them oxygen.ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, MICHAEL SCHIAVO, shall cause the removal of nutrition and hydration from the ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, at Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida, at 2:50 p.m. this 25 day of February, 2005.
SIGNED
GEORGE W. GREER
CIRCUIT JUDGE
That is very interesting -- thanks for your comments.
Almost threw something threw my TV at Alan Colmes -- I cannot believe him and his comments that he just made to the spokesman for Terri.
Well...then I'm moving to hell, cause it must be frozen.
Goodnight to you and take care!
Thank you for all of your posts. They have helped me keep the faith.
God bless... :)
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men TO DO NOTHING. Right back at ya....... Good men and women are finally stepping forward. We will do everything we can to save this victim of a monster MICHAEL sCHIAVO.
He's doing a favor for a friend. George Felos has been a huge contributor to his campaigns.
The nuance of a blade or rad.
She certainly deserved and deserves a chance for an accurate diagnosis while not being malnourished or worse.
queenkathy,
I figured it didn't come out the way I meant it! I'm glad you understood.
Not to worry! All you have to do is to become disabled in Florida, and they will starve you to death! /sarcasm off
Another Freeper posted this link to an interesting article about corruption:

i like that, "the stench from the bench".
"The fallacies surrounding this case have gotten into people's DNA or something. I've never seen Freepers this ignorant. You used to all do research and read. Well, read, dammit. Read court documents and transcripts."
As a matter of fact, Peach, I have read quite a few of the court documents. The MOST striking thing about them is not what is in them, it's what was not included in them.
There are gullible people in this world who staunchly believe one side vs the other no matter what. I pride myself on not being one of them. You are a bright individual, don't be one yourself.
Least of your worries in a "Oh, your crystal has turned red, it's time for Carousel and rebirth!" way...
I wonder if she is who called the hotline -- someone really sent DFS into an investigative mode.
Are you watching Alan Colmes with that idiot Cong Moran. I will NEVER watch Hannity and Colmes again after what I just heard Colmes say complaining about his fellow Democrats that voted for life. Why doesn't he go without food and water for the next seven days and then tell us how wonderful it is? Despicable human being!
