From "Terri Big Eyes" video available at http://www.terrisfight.org
Terri starts out apparently asleep. A doctor wakes her to start his tests.
Doctor: Terri. Open your eyes up...
Terri: (Startled at hearing her name. She starts moving her mouth and fluttering her eyes, like a person who is just waking up)
Doctor: Open your eyes, Terri open your eyes
Terri: (slowly at first, Terri struggles to open her eyes, then turns toward the doctor, and opens her eyes a normal amount)
Doctor: There you go, good.
Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes as WIDE AS SHE CAN. Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )
Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job.
THANKS to FL engineer who created this montage -- may these photos speak to the minds and hearts of all who see them.
Message from Terri's sister:
Last night (Sunday, 2/27) at Woodside Hospice, Terri's sister, Suzanne, thanked everyone for their prayers and support. Suzanne was nearly in tears as she thanked everyone on behalf of Terri and her family. Suzanne said that saying "thank you" doesn't seem to be enough, that words can't express how her family feels about the support they are getting.
Suzanne, her husband, daughter, and Monsignor Malanowski visited Terri last night. Suzanne said that Terri was cheerful and was happy to see her. Terri always laughs at Monsignor Malanowksi's jokes.
The rest of Terri's family traveled to Jacksonville last night for today's press conference with the Justice Coalition.
Please keep up the prayers!

How come no one ever shows the pictures of her lying there, in a vegetative state, for 99.9999% of the past 15+ years? Instead, all there is are a few stills from a few videos that are meant to deceive people into thinking that she reacts like this all day, every day.
What is so frightening is that they do not. What it looks like is that she is conscious but can't speak or move hardley at all.
The possibility that she is actually conscious is horrifying.
Imagine not being able to talk or move but being conscious.
All you can do is talk to yourself in your head.
Stare at the walls and think...think about what? How many days has she been like this? How much thinking can she do? But there is nothing else she can do but think. If only I could talk or write I would tell them what I'm thinking. Does she just lay in a room by herself all day? Is the tv constantly on so she has something to watch or the radio on so she has something to listen to. Do people talk to her 8 hours a day or put the newspaper in front of her so she can keep up on current events? If she is conscious and has none of these things don't you think it would only take a short time before you went crazy?
