The usual treatment for after-effects of dehydration is just IV fluids for several days. Unless some other complications were detected, the hospice wouldn't need to do anything more than keep the IV line running and the feeding tube fed. And I'm sure they're required to let a doctor examine her regularly to see if she needs to go back to a hospital -- just like she did for the rehydration and reinsertion of the feeding tube, which couldn't be handled at the hospice.

Nonsense.

Your assuming for some reason that the hospice wants her to live.

I just showed why the hospiace (and its directors and lawyers and doctors and nurses and bathroom attendents and dishwashers!) wants her dead.

That's what I was thinking. I'm trying to remain calm; the eyes of a whole hell of a lot of people on focused on this story, so I'm hoping that is at least some protection. OTOH, the HINO and his attorney minion (and other "right-to-kill" serpents) are a pack of liars and I don't trust them at all.

It might be a good sign she was released from the hospital so soon and sent back to hospice. It would most likely mean she stabilized very quickly ---- even after being starved and denied water for 6 days. It seems --- but I could be wrong --- the hospital would be very cautious at this point because of the legalities and attention this case has --- would they release her if she were unstable? It also shows that Terri has a very strong will to live if she is doing so well she only needed a few hours in the hospital to rehydrate even though she was denied water and food for so long. She doesn't and never needed extraordinary care at all ---- just food and water like the rest of us.
