How awful. If he is abusing this poor woman, why are the authorities not involved? There ought to be social workers, adult protection workers, as well as advocates for the disabled who will involve themselves and investigate daily. My husband recovered after having a massive stroke. We were lucky, but I didn't believe in pulling the plug and I kept him on a feeding tube. He is healthy and fully recovered. My prayers will be with her and her family who wish to save her.

before she suffered the mysterious accident that led to her paralysis, not to be kept on life support.

I'm curious; does anyone know what the circumstances behind this mysterious accident are?

What a heartbreaking story. This is why everyone should have a written medical directive, sometimes called an "advance directive," "health care proxy" or "durable power of attorney for health care." It allows you to state how you want to be treated medically if you are in certain situations.

"the husband confines his wife to a small room under a sadistic prison-like regime, refusing to allow her to see pets as part of a therapy program" -- Praying that Terri is able to enjoy a furry kitty kiss very soon!

Why are they referring to her as paralyzed now?

BUMP - Terri is in a hospice which is for people who are TERMINAL. Terri is not terminal. She's just a person with disabilities. Michael Schiavo belongs behind bars.
