Thanks, Jeff. Every time in something like this, with all the details, I am so greatly encouraged to know that others have also experienced it, too. You were one of those who came to mind. :o)

As I see it, there are basic gold nuggets of truth that need to be brought out and repeated at every opportunity. These are the two I see:

1) Terri is responsive. The Schindlers and others including, but not limited to, an RN and two attorneys, have told of her responding in their visits. Most recently, notably, and humorously, the account that I will try to post below of Terri responding to the auditory and visual stimuli of atty. David Gibbs.
To deny or ignore the above information is to call those eyewitnesses liars. I did not hear anyone call Mr. Schindler a liar at the Jax press conference. H'mmm.
2) Terri's current guardian has denied Terri the ordinary care that any other patient in her condition would be allowed to have, in things big and little. I'm not even referring to rehabilitation or therapy here -- the denial of which is incomprehensible to me -- but ordinary daily care given to any other patient in her condition.
It is a travesty and unacceptable that she is a virtual prisoner in her little room (described here) and is not allowed out in a wheelchair; that her cards, flowers, personal items are removed or refused; that she has not had the mandated swallow tests since ___ . I hope CD and others will add to this w/their knowledge and experience.
Interestingly, the video clips that showed on our Jacksonville TV stations after their press conference here included the one of Michael taking Terri out to the park, pointing out the ducks. This relates to both #1 and #2.

To repeat: No one is calling Bob Schindler a liar for saying Terri responds to him in his visits. Nor are they calling Cheryl Ford, R.N., David Gibbs, Esq, or the other atty. who wrote a similar acct of her Christmas visit with Terri liars.

And also: video clips show Terri getting out in her wheelchair. Why has her guardian not fixed her wheelchair or gotten or arranged to have gotten when it has been freely offered to him, a new wheelchair?

Inquiring minds want to know. Let's be honest here -- let's see who is telling the truth and who is lying or misrepresenting.
