How sad, but remember that as long as there is life there is hope Again, take out the feeding tubes and see if she can live...at this time you are force feeding her. Heck, send in the godsquad to pray when they do it..maybe a miracle will happen and she will live a happy productive life... Come on, this is a shell of a body only..

Exactly. Someone posted this on a blog http://www.m-blog.com/terri_schindler_schiavo that I started:



Please see the ongoing daily discussion on tbihome.org, at http://www.tbihome.org and the discussion page on Terri Schiavo, at: http://tbihome.org/cgi-bin/terri.pl

People who post there are survivors of brain injuries and caregivers to persons who have survived brain injuries. You can see many countless testimonials by our members of their fights to survive, to gain rehabilitation and tolerance and acceptance within our society, difficulties in gaining medical treatment and overcoming obstacles of medical "providers" who themselves do not comprehend the complexities of acquired brain injury and recovery efforts.

You can see many fascinating and poignant stories in the Stories, Homepages and artwork Galleries by our supposedly "brain-damaged" members. The word "brain-damaged" is totally the incorrect word. Unfortunately, it is used every hour by all the uninformed media: The correct terminology and concept is that the individual is a person *first* -- living with a brain injury. The correct term is not "damaged" as in damaged goods or trash).

Thank you for this wonderful and informative blog.
