Absolutely amazing. What a wonderful story. Shows how little we really know about coma patients. I'll bet, when asked, she will be glad to respond that she is pleased no one decided to end her 'misery' for her, especially by slowly starving her to death.
amen
Isn't that the truth? This is amazing.
... I told you that I SAW Terri. I was in to see her twice. I saw her once in September and I saw her once just a couple weeks ago. And she communicated. She's alert. We prayed. She follows everything thats happening in the room with her eyes, turning her head, smiling. When I was in there with her parents, her dad leaned over to kiss her, and she made the motion to kiss him back...
She's not able as I said, to articulate her words, but she attempts to speak. And if she HAD the benefit of some physical therapy and some speech therapy, she would be in a lot BETTER condition, but guess what? She has been DENIED that treatment, she has been denied that simple physical and speech therapy, by the same person who wants her to be starved."
