Many thanks to Vicky Chachere for coverage about Terri's birthday.
For the sake of accuracy regarding her article, please note the following two corrections.
1. Cheryl Ford is not a former nurse. Cheryl is a Licensed Registered Nurse who maintains a current Washington State nursing license where she is CEO of her own company.
2. Terri's heart did not stop because of an eating disorder. The courts in the medical malpractice case never concluded that Terri had an eating disorder. According to Terri's medical records, Terri was still breathing when the Paramedics had arrived. Her heart was in an arrhythmia. Arrhythmia, caused by lack of oxygen to her brain which happened to Terri from a still undetermined cause.
