I can't believe what I just heard on Bay News 9 .........Terri's family waiting for permission from Michael Schivo to see their daughter !!!??????........Also court expected today to name new guardian..........Does this mean the only care terri is able to receive is hydration ?????? until a new guardian appointed ????

Hang in there. Terri system is too weak to receive a feeding tub. They are hydrating her probably with massive amounts of ringers lactate and regular IV bags with potassium chloride. They have to strenthen her system and clean her out with fluid to get the toxins out that build up in your system when you don't have any hydration. The feeding tube will be surgically placed when she is a little stronger. I think 72 hours of constant hydration would be enought, but I am not a doctor.

The courts are supposed to appoint a new guardian? I haven't heard that. Any info?
