"Allen Combs say it would be dangerious to give Terri a drink of water!"

It's because he had some weird doctor on saying it would harm her if she got alot of fluids suddenly...but I have heard that it would not harm her from other doctors

They wouldn't give her a drink of water, anyway! Water isn't what she needs, only. She needs electrolytes and they would give it to her in a drip.

If she took a lot of fluids by mouth suddenly she would likely vomit.......what she needs is small sips of water (or pedialyte ect) and a saline IV. (No I'm not a DR but I looked it up)
