IIRC, she could eat a few years ago, her nurses used to sneak food to her. But, the husband found out and put a stop to it and may have had a nurse fired over it.

I could be wrong though.

The nurses are also under the threat of being fired if they do anything Mr. Schiavo construes to be rehabilitative in nature.

re: IIRC

You are correct. She could swallow liquids without difficulty and as you point out when her husband found out about it he raised hell with the hospice. I can't for the life of me understand how all these facts have not been allowed to be introduced into this whole case. It is the most frustrating thing about this whole situation. They keep fighting the fight based on how things were years and years ago. Time passes and things change. If the husband weren't so intent on her death he would permit a fresh examination of Terri using the technology of today. Instead he keeps insisting on presenting that snapshot that was taken of her years ago.
