Another thing of interest. There is alot of comment made here and on other sites about how the Schindler's should be allowed to take Terri home and care for her. They already tried that and Mrs. Schlindler couldn't handle it.

It was at the Schlindler's insistance that Terri was returned to the nursing facility after they found that they couldn't care for her.

This isn't true. Terri's brother and sister stated if there was ever a time her parents couldn't care for her, they would. Michael Schiavo has ALWAYS had control and care of Terri. Why make things up?!

There's also this I just found from Deposition of Michael Schiavo Nov. 19, 1993:

(Page 70)

9 Q Were there discussions between yourself and the

10 Schindler's about using the money, if you received any

11 money from the lawsuit, to either rent or purchase a house

12 where Terry would actually live with her parents?

13 A There was discussions about that. That was back

14 in the Roland Lamb days when, you know, the 15, 20 million

15 dollars was there. and it kind of like, faded away.

16 When it came up again, my father-in-law wanted to

17 purchase a house with a separate apartment for Terry, so

18 the nurses would have a separate room for the nurses to go

19 in.

20 MR. NILSSON: Objection, unless the witness has

21 finished his answer.

22 BY MR. SHEEHAN:

23 Q Were you finished?

24 A Yeah.

25 Q What was your thoughts about that, about that

(Page 71)

1 arrangement, about Terry living at home with her mother

2 and father?

3 A I wasn't crazy about that. We've had Terry home

4 before, and I took care of her. My father-in-law would

5 tell me all the time that this isn't working out because

6 your mother-in-law is getting upset. She doesn't like to

7 be with Terry at home. She needs to be with professional

8 people.

The entire deposition is an interesting read. I hadn't seen it before.

It also says he only got 300k dollars? Am I reading that right? That 70% of *all* the settlement money was deducted from the award because it was 70% Terri's fault (because of her bulimia) ?

And stuff about how he had fusses with nurses over not taking good enough care of her when she was choking and had a fever, and how he wanted to stay at a particular nursing home because it clean, bright, and cheerful.

(It's stuff like this that I don't understand why MS doesn't have published himself. /bad sentence)
