[Okay, sorry this took so long, between crying tears of relief, and rewinding the vcr WAY too far and having to find the interview again (duhh), and keeping an eye on all the news channels for the latest.... well, here goes:

Here's a rough-draft transcript of an interview from about 4pm ET live on MSNBC with Terri's brother, Bob Jr. It is NOT a perfect transcript, but it's pretty close. Much noise from the crowd at the vigil, singing and chanting, could not make some out very well.]

MSNBC Reporter Mark Potter: Tell me, what was your reaction to the Senate vote?

Bob Jr: Just extrememly happy for my sister Terri. Looks like we're one step closer to getting her back on food and water.

Potter: What do you think about the move that the Governor made, taking steps to change the law, he said he couldn't work under current law, so he went and had the law changed, what do you think about that?

Bob Jr.: I think the Governor was genuinely concerned, seeing the videos of Terri, and seeing that we were starving to death a person with mental handicaps, a disabled person.

[I skipped transcribing their discussion of hubby's appeal to Circuit Court which has since been DENIED!]

Potter: I need to ask you about the condition of your sister, you've been in to see her. She's been without food for six full days, how is she doing in your view?

Bob Jr.: Well, time is critical, she seems to still be alert and responsive, she seems to still be holding her own. But every second is an hour for Terri right now, we need to get her the medical attention she needs as quickly as possible.

Potter: What have the doctors told you about how much time she has before being without food becomes a really critical issue?

Bob Jr.: Well, they told us to look for some certain signs, and those signs don't seem to have appeared yet, so we're still hopeful that if we get in there and help her, that she'll be okay.

Potter: Thank you for your time and thanks for talking with us.
