The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation | August 15, 2003
Terri was admitted to Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida on Wednesday, August 13th. Hospice did not notify Terri's family of this and they did not find out until almost 24 hours later of their daughter's whereabouts. Michael Schiavo has given instructions not to discuss Terri's condition with her family. We will update this as soon as we know more. Glenn Beck brought this up during his radio broadcast this morning.

Time gained. By Wesley J. Smith September 11, 2003, was to be the beginning of the end for Terri Schindler Schiavo. Last Thursday, a judge was scheduled to order the intentional dehydration of the cognitively impaired Florida woman, at the request of her husband. Mercifully, however, the law got in the way. Judge George W. Greer of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, in Clearwater, Florida, has repeatedly made it clear that he intends to order Terri's death by dehydration; even though her husband has refused to provide his wife any rehabilitation or therapy for more than ten years; even though renowned...

<p>Remember Miracle on 34th Street? Everyone always cheers when those postal employees start piling on the mail. Well let's go for something similar. It may not change the judge's mind, but it will make a definite statement to the media.</p> <p>I hesitated to start this because of Homeland Security concerns. Can't you just see some wild-eyed liberal screaming "SUSPICIOUS POWDER"? Think of the feeding frenzy...even though the motives in sending it were pure. So here's what I've come up with: Mail your newly purchased, sealed box of "gelatin" -- we all know the brand ;-) -- along with your letter of outrage to Judge Greer. Please freepmail/e-mail for the address. Then during the protest, signs will be available stating why there are boxes full of Jell, I mean gelatin, there. She can show them to the media, give the letters to Judge Greer and Felos (be sure to send them each a letter or two copies of the same generic letter). THEN she can donate the boxes of gelatin in Terri's name to a food pantry to be chosen by the Schindler family! Everyone wins!</p>

Clearweater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo has left the hospital she entered following reports she was coughing up blood. However, her family still says it doesn't have any answers about her medical condition because her husband, Michael, is violating a court order and refusing to disclose the information. His actions prompted family members to file a motion instructing him to release the latest information to them. A 1996 court order requires Michael Schiavo to make medical information available to Terri’s parents. Bob and Mary Schindler, Terri's parents, and her siblings have been involved in a long, drawn-out legal battle with...

"When I Woke Up..." by Rus Cooper-Dowda In February of 1985, I woke up in a hospital bed in Boston, MA. I couldn't see very well and I couldn't move much -- but boy could I ever hear! I heard a terrifying discussion then that I will never, ever forget. Around the end of my bed were a "school" of doctors in their white coats, planning when to disconnect my ventilator and feeding tube. I immediately started screaming, "I'm here!!" No one but me heard me. They did notice my sudden agitation. They heavily sedated me. For a time, every...

Tampa, FL (LifeNews.com) -- An appeals court on Friday reversed its ruling of a week ago and granted a 30-day delay in returning jurisdiction of the case to a trial judge who has approved the removal of a feeding tube that is keeping Terri Schiavo alive. Terri Schiavo was 26 in 1990 when she suddenly collapsed in her home after her heart stopped from what doctors initially believed was a potassium imbalance. The loss of oxygen to her brain left her in a condition where she could breathe on her own but was left reliant on a liquid nutritional supplement...

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A judge put off a ruling Thursday on whether to remove a brain-damaged woman's feeding tube after her parents argued that she first should be given the chance to learn to eat. Terri Schiavo, 39, has been at the center of a long legal battle between her parents and her husband. Her parents want her kept alive; her husband says she never wanted to be kept alive artificially. Schiavo has been in what doctors call a persistent vegetative state since collapsing in 1990 from what was believed to be a potassium imbalance. Circuit Judge George W....

CLEARWATER - A judge on Tuesday quickly rejected Gov. Jeb Bush's request for a fresh look at whether Terri Schiavo's feeding tube should be removed. ``I read [the request from Bush] because it came from the governor and I respect his position,'' Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer said. ``Beyond that, it is going in the file.'' Greer received a letter from Bush asking that he appoint an independent guardian to investigate whether Schiavo would want to be taken off life support. Schiavo's husband, Michael, and her parents have been battling for years over whether she should be allowed to...

Schiavo has repeatedly denied the allegations, as has his attorney, George Felos. Felos was quoted in the Tampa Tribune as saying that claims of abuse by the former...

Terri is not a convicted murderer. She is not terminally ill. Instead, she is a 39-year-old severely brain-injured woman whose parents and siblings, the Schindler family, have been waging a long legal battle to prevent Terri's husband and the legal system from ending her life.1 In July, 2003, Terri was granted perhaps her last "stay of execution" by a Florida appeals court before her case is returned to Judge George Greer, a Florida judge who has previously and repeatedly ordered Terri's tube feedings stopped. Although this will give the family's lawyers some time to file an appeal with the Florida...

What do you call a country that sentences its prisoners to death by starvation and dehydration? Barbaric, inhumane perhaps? Fasts, even hunger strikes, often are self-imposed for periods of time. However, no one in his right mind passes up fluids. Death by dehydration is a painful, agonizing and arduous process that takes 10 to 14 days. In addition to feeling the pangs of hunger and thirst, the skin, lips and tongue crack. The nose bleeds because of the drying of the mucus membranes. Heaving and vomiting may ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining. The victim may...
