Terri's brother, Bobby, just reported that Terri is MISSING!! He has been waiting all day to see her, he got the green light, and she's gone...
News 9 reporter said she's gone back to hospice, but the family does not know where she is and has NO CONFIRMATION.
BREAKING...
=====================CONTACT info from Ragtime Cowgirl:
As of now, and when medical care was most needed, Michael Schiavo is still making all the decisions.
Terri looks worse today than she did before being moved to the Hospital and back to the hospice.
Please contact others and ask why, during the 5 days BOTH sides have to come up with a guardian, is the side fighting to save Terri not allowed a say in her medical treatment, please!
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 facility IF 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. Terri needs to be in a friendly environment in which her condition can be more closely monitored. She desperately needs an advocate.
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:

Terri's parents signed guardianship over to Schiavo on the Good Faith that he would take care of her, as he told the court he would when he was trying to cash in on the malpractice suit, he said he would take care of Terri and provide rehablilitation wich he has not done.
This case is not that hard to figure out. I'm wondering; as are others, if Terri's parents really have the best legal counsel, or if everyone is working as hard as they claim to be-not trying to be cold/mean, but it is pretty obvious what Mike SCH is up to.
Or the problem could be corruption on a massive scale. In wich case people need to be brought in who have the expertise/resources to deal with it.
It's just strange that Felo's has managed to beat them every time , in spite of some very convincing evidence..I don't know , just thinking out loud -so to speak.
For all the 'RATS who call Jeb and the Fl. Leg's saving of Terri's life "unconstitutional":
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certainUNALIENABLE RIGHTS, among these are............. LIFE

One more time because you 'Rats JUST DON'T GET IT:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, among these are.............. LIFE
-Declaration of Independence- July 4,1776
It took me hours to search for new info (no luck), read through the FR posts - muck through the offense of Schiavo, who now has the ACLU on his side (see #2053), and Felos, who the press keeps quoting without telling the world that Felos is a famous right-to-kill advocate who's built a career around exploiting Terri and others he pretends to care about, even appearing on Oprah and writing a book.
The ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) has been following Terri's case, with updates at their website: http://www.aclj.org Now that the ACLU has joined the enemy, perhaps we can recruit Jay Sekulow for Terri and for life: ACLJ.org: Legal Helpline: 1-800-296-4529 Please keep contacting friendly and unfriendly individuals involved in Terri's case. Info at #2121. Craig Waters at the FSC told the press that he's receiving nothing like the number of phone calls he received during election 2000. Let's help him out.

'Save Terri' calls are pouring in
DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER Thousands of people from around the country have been calling and e-mailing state offices in Tallahassee, urging officials to save Terri Schiavo. And somehow, many of those messages have found their way to Craig Waters. Waters, the Florida Supreme Court's spokesman, said he's personally taken dozens of calls, including one from a woman from Calgary, Canada, who offered to save the 39-year-old Schiavo, who has been in a Pinellas Park hospice. "She wanted to take (Schiavo) back to Canada to care for her," Waters said. "I told her I had no authority for that kind of request." Schiavo suffered brain damage in 1990 after her heart stopped because of a suspected potassium imbalance. Since then, doctors have kept her alive with food and water tubes. Her parents and other family members have been engaged in a legal struggle with her husband, Michael, who said Terri did not want to be kept alive artificially. After Michael Schiavo finally won a legal decision to have his wife taken off her feeding tubes, the Legislature on Tuesday approved a special bill giving Gov. Jeb Bush the power to order the feeding tubes reactivated. Terri began receiving liquids intravenously later that day. "I had one woman, from somewhere out West, cry almost the whole time I was on the phone with her," Waters said. "She was very concerned that, as she put it, this woman's life was being ended against her will." The Supreme Court, which so far has not addressed the Schiavo case, has received more than 100 calls about it to its various offices, Waters said. "They're very emotional about the subject," he said. Bush spokeswoman Alia Faraj said the Governor's Office had gotten 165,411 e-mails about Schiavo since Aug. 27 and "thousands of phone calls." Faraj said the office normally gets about 5,000 e-mails a week on average. "We don't have the lines to handle that many calls," she said, adding she didn't know the nature of particular messages but that "people are generally in support of saving Schiavo." Representatives for House Speaker Johnnie Byrd, R-Plant City, and Senate President Jim King, R-Jacksonville, did not know how many calls were received on the Schiavo controversy but said many had expressed their thanks. Waters recalled a time when phone calls about a controversial issue were even more frequent. "This is nothing like the 2000 election cases," Waters said. "My phone became unusable. I'd pick it up to make a call and there would already be someone on the line." Contact reporter James L. Rosica at (850) 599-2304 or jlrosica@tallahassee.com. |
I have long wanted to see what Christine looked like as her case was very painful for me personally to read about...she was a young very disturbed girl who lost her mother at age 4 and became an angry teenager, according to what I have read.
Note that her father states openly that his decision was based on what he would have wanted in the same situation, not on what he felt Christine would have wanted. It is so easy for these "family" members to make decisions of death for others, isn't it?

Terri's family and lawyer need to know that professionals are weighing in on the flip side of the hateful ACLU. The doctor-Dr Orient- who is quoted in the article is tremendous. Dr. Orient has the entire situation NAILED DOWN! My puter is slower than molasses today-so forgive any double posts!
I would love for there to be one, am trying to convince some "christians" on another forum and it's kind of hard to search all these threads for the facts. They're there it's just so time consuming.
