Excerpts:

Meantime, the Florida Department of Children & Families moved to intervene in the case Wednesday, hours after Gov. Jeb Bush told reporters he again was seeking a way to keep Terri Schiavo alive.

"We are really elated," Robert Schindler, Terri Schiavo's father, said of the turn of events. "Forty-eight hours to us right now seems like six years. We pray to God and we thank God that we have some time and are very, very thankful that DCF has picked this up."

George Felos, who represents Michael Schiavo, said the DCF move "reeks of the intervention of politics into the case and is an affront to the court."
