This information contradicts everything I've read in the past about the original monetary award. Have I missed something? http://www.ncpd.org/Terry%20Schiavo%20press%20release%20Oct%2017.htm
Terri’s neurological disability began when she was 26 years old and suffered cardiac arrest with resulting brain damage in 1990. In November 1992, in a trial involving medical malpractice, her husband, Michael Schiavo, requested $20 million for Terri’s future medical needs. He assured the jury, which awarded $9,400,000.00 for Terri’s medical care and rehabilitation, that he would take care of Terri, “in a heartbeat. . . . She’s my life and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. I believe in my wedding vows.” The malpractice jury also awarded Michael $640,000 for loss of consortium of his wife.

The $700,000 or so earmarked for Mrs. Schiavo's medical care for the rest of her life has dwindled to about $350,000, court records show. Most was spent in the past two years on the intense legal fight that made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court and is still not over.

The money, which came from a 1992 medical malpractice case, has been used for Mrs. Schiavo's medical bills; her husband's attorney, who is fighting to remove her feeding tube; and a bank that manages the money.

Records show that George Felos, Michael Schiavo's litigation attorney, has been paid more than $200,000 since 1997. Another Schiavo attorney, Deborah Bushnell, got $27,000. Schiavo himself was reimbursed almost $6,000 for legal costs
There sure is a big difference!

"He assured the jury, which awarded $9,400,000.00 for Terri’s medical care and rehabilitation, that he would take care of Terri, “in a heartbeat. . . ."

I've never seen that much mentioned as the award, either. The biggest figure I've seen is $1.3 million.
