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?

The law passed yesterday states that the Governor will direct the District Court (I think) to appoint a new guardian. I believe that is expected to be done this afternoon. Sorry, no references available, but I suspect this is being accomplished now. Pray for a good appointment for Terri's best interests.

I understand about the hydration BUT if she should be septic are they permitted to give her antibiotics???? The parents should be able to be at her bedside..That alone is medicine for Terri since she responds very much to her mother.. Michael should have his nose completely out of her affairs

Michael needs to be put in his place and a very far place away from Terri.
