Undermine
this!Seriously, I am praying that Jay Wolfson and others involved here understand that compassion and love trump 'health care financing'. I pray that all concerned will look at this with fresh EYES and ears, minds and hearts.
"Promise you won't leave me, will you, Mommy?"
Terri is not in a coma -- degree of brain damage is unsure.
After the CA treatment, she was to have been taken to Shands, Gainesville for followup treatment -- this was not done. WHY was Michael allowed to make a 180º change in Terri’s treatment -- and WHY is it so strange that her family should want to return to that treatment plan?
From St. Petersburg Times...dated Feb. 17, 1991 (1 year after Terri's collapse.) -- article found by 4Godsoloved..Hegave: This city has proclaimed today Terri Schiavo day. ...She underwent surgery, performed by Dr. Yoshio Hosobuchi of the University of California at San Francisco in December, to implant a stimulator in her brain.
The brain stimulator implant was a success, said her husband, Mike. Mrs. Schiavo is slowly emerging from the coma at the Mediplex Medical Center, a neurological care center in Bradenton, he said. She will undergo at least a year of speech, occupational and physical therapy.

Miami Gardens Woman Has Been Caring for Comatose Daughter for 33 Years
"She always liked to be fussed with," Kaye says of her eldest daughter, who was 16 when she begged her mother: "Promise you won't leave me, will you, Mommy?" before losing consciousness in the hospital . . .
Miami Gardens Woman Has Been Caring for Comatose Daughter for 33 Years Thanks for pointing that out. Terri is even better off than Kaye O'Bara of Miami Gardens. Terry can already swallow her own secretions! She does so in videos.
But Kaye O'Bara has to occasionally have her mouth or nose suctioned out or else she would choke to death.
And Terry DOES exhibit signs of cognition. She does respond, and She can point to where she is hurting and say "PAI(n)".
There are even audio .mp3 files from 12 months ago, of her trying to speak with her father.
These are not available at the moment because the server where they are stored still thinks it is October. Could someone save those files ELSEWHERE as soon as they are back online? These files have been unavailable for days because they were too popular and the webpage containing them exceeded its monthly bandwidth!

These are at http://www.friendsofterri.org/audio.html
Actually it is the server at www.zimp.org that is still blocking the files.

She will undergo at least a year of speech, occupational and physical therapy. OMG. This statement is in blatant contradiction with his televised statement on LKL concerning this treatment. The family needs to bring this up to LK's attention next week when they are on. They need to have the transcript from Schiavo's interview then refute his statement using this article. I am not surprised that he is lying but just can't fathom how he thought that there wouldn't be people out here that are interested in the truth.
