"That sounds reassuring"

Yes it does. Perhaps it is this agency we should be writing to with some of the information WE have discovered as we've discussed this case.

`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:

KEY INFORMATION: I just talked with a person at the hospice. Our conversation was polite throughout, and at the end, I told him we were praying for everyone there -- especially to do the right thing. That we know Terri was NOT in a coma before this whole thing began.

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?
