Terri, at one time, was walking with assistance, before Mr. Schiavo got his lawsuit money. No telling where she would've been today had he continued the treatment she was supposed to get."

Give me a break. You have any proof of the fact that after her injury she was walking with help but they stopped her rehab and she went into a PVS? I have heard the most absurd stories ever on this site when it comes to Terri. I hope you don't honestly belive this.

Well, OneTimeLurker, you go back and read ALL of the info on the case and come back and give me:

1.) The proper definition of PVS

2.) If Terri was actually in PVS

3.) How many bones were found to be broken within 18 of her 'accident'

4.) A detailed list of what she was capable of doing BEFORE Michael won his settlement

Then, we can have a discussion about it.

I know many people have said they were trying to teach her to walk using parallel bars. Just google for SCHIAVO and "parallel bars".

I personally don't recall what the 'procedures' were at the several rehabilitation hospitals she had been to. BUT I do very certainly remember, and posted several times the scan of her medical chart from Mediplex where her doctor wrote in her chart that Terri 'sometimes says "STOP" during procedures'.

It was in that same timeframe that Michael himself, and his lawyer even maintained in court that Terri was responsive. After Michael got the award money, HE changed his tune. But the caregivers, priests, Schindler family, and legal staff that was allowed to visit, KEPT RIGHT ON hearing her occasionally speak an occasional word.

You'll find from the evidence past medical bills and lost earnings are in the neighborhood of $500,000, and to care for her in the future and compensate her for lost earnings, obviously, she cannot work. And if she lives a normal life expectancy, fifty-one years, and the cost of that, depending on whether or not in an institution or Mike takes her home is between 12 and 16 million dollars. They say, well, she doesn't have a normal life expectancy. You'll hear if she receives proper treatment, there's no reason why she shouldn't. And she is not just a head on a pillow. She can't respond much but she can respond, and she does respond a little bit, not much. But enough to give him hope.

Terri WASN'T in PVS. She was last diagnosed by a DCF doctor as being SEMI-CONSCIOUS on the third or fourth day of her STARVATION/DEHYDRATION.

I have cared for PVS and coma patients and NONE of them could respond the way Terri did even once.
