Prayers needed for Terri and her family.

Her husband is, at the very least, a cruel man for keeping Terri's condition from her parents.

[NautiNurse]

Fire up your ping list.

[AppyPappy]

Who is this?

[verity]

Morton Plant Hospital

Cruel irony.

[oceanperch]

Why was she in hospice? I thought she was healthy and thriving and this was the key to continue her G tube feedings.

Did I miss something? Did that creep have her G tube feedings stopped?

Murderer!

[I still care]

Bill O'Reilly was showing her videos on TV, and had her family on also. I couldn't believe anyone would want to yank her feeding tube, unless they were a murderer at heart.

[Sloth]

Doesn't anyone on the hospital staff have a conscience?

[Coleus]

Please, keep Terri in your prayers

[nickcarraway]

It's amazing this can go on.

[twigs]

Michael is quite possibly a murderer.

If it is true about why she is at this hosp. to be euthenized than everyone should be contacting the board of this facility. Flood them with calls and let them know that the world is watching. What about demonstrators parked outside?

I heard about this story during a recent trip to Florida.

It certainly prompted me to write up an advanced medical directive / living will so that there would be no question as to my wishes should a similar situation occur in my life.

I'd rather meet my maker than be kept alive for years by artificial means. (But I acknowledge that reasonable minds can differ on this issue)

A friend of my sons parents chose to turn his care over to a group home (death camp IMO) and they had him in the hosp. for two weeks trying to save his life from pneumonia and did not contact the parents.

The family had to bring him home and get him well so that he could return to the group home.....with a no revive.

These severly brain damage kids are living into adulthood and the medical community has no formal plans.

If I die my sons only choice is a nursing home not much better than a group home. So I need to stay well.

It is a shame that group homes are used for the severly medically frail all because it cost less than a hundred dollars a day compared to $172 dollars a day in a skilled facility.

Thats lefty Oregon for you. And other states are adopting this plan.

However after my sons Dr. said he is amazed at my sons health and that he cannot advise on his long term because these kids usaully died in their teens now they are living into adulthood.

I told him at least times have changed that they are not being taken to the linen closet after birth anymore to die because they are brain damaged or deformed.

My point being as awful as this case is and abortion our medical world has improved at respecting life.IMO

[oceanperch]

The court should rule that if Terri dies her settlement dies with her.

That would make a big difference if the measly little med. acct. is gone when she is.

Bet the hubby would sign her care over to mom and dad in a heart beat.

[firewalk]

bttt

[agrace]

Have you seen this thread?

[Salvation]

Was also on either O'Reilly or Hannity and Colmes.

[ladyinred]

I will join you in prayer for this lady and her family. I am appalled at this after reading the articles in the link you provided. May God keep her safe until someone can stop this horrific medical homicide.

[Ann Archy]

I think he tried to kill her....and now he's having the State kill her.

[oceanperch]

Can Teri receive postcards at the facility she is now residing in? Freep Mail if need be. Will be lurking for updates. TERRI BE WELL

[oceanperch]

What activities are the family doing with Teri....no need to wait for money to start rehab.

Would they like ideas from those of us that have been careproviders?

It would be nice to move on from who is the bad guy as the focus to how can Teri start living today as to activities.

Parents may want to start thinking of how to improve representing Teri's right to life.

We spend alot of time with care but keep active with discussion, media stupidness really gets King Vanity laughing and respondeing. What subjects get Teri responding. Bringing these things out portray her as a person with interests. Does she show displeasure that could be encouraged and documented.

What type of communication system is being developed. King turns his head to the right for YES and left for NO.

Bootom line get the rehab going. there are enough resouces that mooney need not be an issue.

Ifeel it would strengthen her case to focus on how her life is being rebuilt.

Can some one strap a color marker in her hand and have her start some art project.

king paints like an elephant using his trunk so at we tape silver liqued pens in his hand and he swipes at clear charge plates(he sweats bullets trying to hit his target) then I have him pick a color and I spray paint the plate and clear gloss it. He gives out his limited editions and loves to look at the outrageous prices for similar plates in the tourist Art galleries.

I know you have said Mom has limited access but these things can take place.

Come time to submit reports to court it will show a program being developed.

Does anyone on this thread have a direct link to the family to share what more other than arguing about her feedings is going on. Be nice to see a bigger picture.

Personally I would not just focus on one thing.

Start having Teri choose by holding up two objects if her sight is ok.

If she can signal for Yes and No aks her endless questions to start forming her interests. What other daily activities does she do?

What activities make her light up?
