LOL!
From the perspective of the unholy alliance, Terri doesn't have a future and they intend to see that it remains that way. They are treating her as if she were already dead.
BTW, good video also.
`Bigger Than Mike And Terri'
Bushnell said Michael Schiavo is wrestling with whether to continue his quest to carry out what he says are his wife's wishes.
Michael Schiavo spent the past week living at Hospice House Woodside and is ``devastated'' that Bush and the Legislature halted his effort to remove his wife from life support, Bushnell said. Now, he is faced with fighting not only for what he says are his wife's wishes but also for the separation of powers that he says was violated when the governor overruled a court order, the attorney said.
``This case was never groundbreaking'' until Bush got involved, Bushnell said. ``If Michael walks away, we as a state have this precedent. He is beginning to say to us `This is bigger than Mike and Terri,' '' Bushnell said.
``He is trying to decide how much of a crusader he wants to be,'' she said.
It is on this thread:

Thank You, Father, that You are tireless ~ we are weary ... Thank You, Lord, that You are Wisdom and Truth ~ we do not know and we cannot see ... Thank You, Creator God, that You proclaim that in Your hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
Heavenly Father, to bring forth Your word is comfort to us, for surely Your hand is upon this mother's child. We pour forth our deepest concern that her body will be further weakened by the attempts of evil men to end her life. Be for her food and drink of heavenly proportion ~ be for her heavenly joy and serenity ~ be for her unreachable by this evil ~ be for her the Advocate who releases this defenseless woman and sets her in a place of love and care ~ restore her to her family, we pray, Blessed Lord, that their joy may be full.
We know not what this day will bring, Father, but we know You hold all time in Your hand ~ with a mighty sweep of Your hand, O God, sweep away and cast out all manner of deeds and plans that are set against Terri. Bring forth one or hundreds or thousands who will proclaim her innocence and set her free.
We gather together this morning, Lord, to ask Your blessing on our prayer and petition before the Throne of Grace, seeking vindication for this child's parents, such is their love. To You, Author of Love and Creator of Life, we give praise, honor, and glory, now and forevermore, Amen ...
Bottom line -- I asked if they were set up to do blood work there, or if they have to send it out (send it out). If there is a need for dialysis to support the patient, are they set up to do it? But -- I noted, your patients are terminal, so . . . he pointed out they do have other than terminally ill pts.
So what happens when these patients need further care, eg, dialysis that cannot be given there? Then they would be transported to hospital or other facilityIF this is what had been requested and agreed upon by the primary care physician AND THE GUARDIAN.
Michael and the physician will not do this. I believe this is it. Unless Terri is removed right now. Gov. Bush, are you listening?
If everyone on this thread who truly wants Terri to survive this ordeal, would pray with all that they are, asking forgiveness first, to flood Terri with the armor of God and to repel the evil exhibited by her husband and his hospice associated attorney, Felos, we can move this mountain. Please join me in a deep prayer for Terri.
Also-don't just sit here hurting and hoping and fail to pick up your own phone and make a strong call to Mike Bell, Florida hospice executive at :
727-586-4432
First tell him you are fully aware of Felos professional association with the Hospice org.
Tell him Terri has NEVER had true care, that ALL avenues of Rehabilitation for TERRI have NEVER BEEN EXPLORED and that you know this and that this goes AGAINST the HOSPICE FOUNDATIONS.
That you will back a lawsuit against HOSPICE should Terri die there.
That you KNOW the YEARS Terri has spent there, when she was NOT TERMINALLY ILL.
That Hospice is NOT a HIDEOUT for thrown away people with disabilities when those who LOVE them are willing to care for them.
PLEASE< PLEASE call him.
And call the head of the Woodside hospice where Terri is being kept.
Ask for annie santa maria.....Tell her just what you told Mike Bell.
Tell her that her house of compassion is NOTHING more than a death house for a non terminally ill patient.
That you know Terri has been denied music, association with others, THERAPY, even having her TEETH BRUSHED and that you RESENT this and think hospice has bent the rules to appease its associate-FELOS.
Tell her that GOD IS WATCHING. That she is ACCOUNTABLE and cannot hide behind the courts when she knows the demand is inhumane. Ask her if she would kill her own PET in the same manner that Terri has been abused.
Her number is 727-586-4432
Do the right thing. Don't depend on anyone else----------YOU'LL call if you really care. That is what we do....we act.
If you are afraid to call....then email this woman who heads the hospice where terri is being kept prisoner at :
anniesantamaria@the hospice.org.
Just do it now.
Thanks.
If both sides are supposed to jointly decide on a guardian during these 5 days, why doesn't the other side - TERRI'S side have a say in her care, and complete access to Terri, the Hospice and the press?
So what happens when these patients need further care, eg, dialysis that cannot be given there? Then they would be transported to hospital or other facilityIF this is what had been requested and agreed upon by the primary care physician AND THE GUARDIAN.
Michael and the physician will not do this. I believe this is it. Unless Terri is removed right now. Gov. Bush, are you listening?
Contact these most helpful people, please, and let them know that Michael Schiavo is calling the shots re. Terri, and that she was moved back to the Hospice from the Hospital:
Bob Marshall: bob.marshall@trincomm.org
Speaker Johnny Byrd: speakerbyrd@myfloridahouse.com
Sen. Jim Sebesta: sebesta.jim.web@flsenate.gov
Senator Daniel Webster: drawdy.ann.so9@flsenate.gov (Senator Webster’s email is to his aide)
Michael still in charge of what medical care Terri receives.
Excellent point. Equal access is needed to come to a decision. The party who denies access is removing all doubt that they have Terri's best interests at heart.
TERRI LOOKS WORSE PER TV PER HER DAD THAN SHE DID when she was starved-dehydrated through Monday. Did the Hospital even TREAT HER AT ALL OR DID THEY JUST START AN IV AND PUT THE TUBE BACK IN?
I bet they didn't do any other treatment and just did what Jeb's Order told them to do, or not. IF SHE HAD MEDICAL TREATMENT, EVEN A NON-MEDICAL PERSON WOULD HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TERRI WOULD "LOOK BETTER", not worse?????
Here's the deal. I was on the pc all day yesterday. I pullled my trapezius muscles around my neck. I cannot type at all today until tonight.
EVERYONE PLEASE PLACE POLITE PHONE CALLS TO OUR LAST LIST. LEGISLATORS WHO WERE KEY FOR TERRI'S LAW, GOVERNOR BUSH AND BOB MARSHALL, Va Delegate IN D.C. They need daily updates... Emails are okay but not quite good enough.
I'M PROBABLY GOING BACK TO HOSPICE TO RE-VIGILIZE MYSELF after I get cleaned up.
Please everyone, this is a mess so we need to do specific things that have been outlined.
If you don't want to, whatever. I just can't help here today because I'm on the injured reserved list from over-freeping last night. lol
