Being trapped in a Hospice was a way to completely control Terri..keep her out of sight and mind, laugh at the crys of the Schindlers who were to be ignored because they were simply parents in denial, and, it goes without saying, that michael could justify his total lack of love and compassion for Terri, his total denial of offering her any therapy or testing or outings into the sunshine, or visits from friends, etc., by keeping her in a hospice, recognized by all of us, as a place where terminally ill people are helped to pass over.
It is against the laws of the hospice foundation to hasten death or accept non terminally ill patients.
Terri was neither...but she survived in that house of death for almost FIVE YEARS.
You talk about someone wanting to LIVE!
It is astounding and extremely hurtful at the same time to consider the fraud and contempt and trashing and abuse that michael schiavo and felos and mary labyak laid upon this human being.

Five years of HELL.
*Husband* ordered NO light (shades down at all times,) NO music or TV, No basic dental/oral hygiene care (resulting in the pulling and FALLING OUT of her TEETH,) NO doctor ordered/highly recommended antibiotics (*husband* over-rode doctor's orders,) No BASIC circulatory, occupational, speech, or swallow therapy, NO flowers, and NO outdoor experience. FOR YEARS. NOTHING. NOTHING.
And is it common knowledge that lack of adequate dental/oral care/hygiene is a HUGE invite to a whole HOST of INFECTIONS.
*Husband* ordered BOTH no oral care AND no needed/recommended antibiotics for infections that Terri had.
It all sickens me.
