MSNBC reported at 4pm EST that the order was served and they would immediately give her an IV, and gradually reintroduce the feeding tube... One possible scenario... She may be so dehydrated that the nurses can't start a peripheral IV (veins collapse too easily). That would mean a doc would have to step in a start a central line in the subclavian. If the docs are being threatened with lawsuits...

Sub-q infusion? Not ideal but do they even think of those anymore?

I thought of this also from what her brother said about her condition...I knew it would be some time before they could reintroduce the feeding tube and I was told they probably kept her hydrated in some other fashion for the past 6 days. I just pray this is some mixup at the vigil, but how could it be?

NITA! Long time no FReep-speak! Glad to see you still hanging around here, even under circumstances being discussed with the Schiavo case.
