That is exactly what it feels like. We are watching her
crucifixion and my heart is wrenching. I have a nephew
who suffered a severe head injury 6 years ago. He was in
a coma for 2 months on a vent. Dr.s said his brain was
almost complete damaged and would be in a vegetative state
for the rest of his life. Luckily we didn't listen to the
doctors and decided he was in Gods hands and we played it
out. Today he lives at home with his parents, of course
with major disabilities. He has a feeding tube and we couldn't
t dream of removing it. He has received major OT, PT, and
speech therapy and will for the rest of his life. He follows people with his eyes just like Terri. He is happy
to see his family and friends Just like Terri. He groans
a few words just like Terri. He is able to use communicative
devises and is trying to drink some on his own. He looks just like her on the video of her following the balloon.
He was able to toss a football too us very early on, in his
so called vegetative state.

I think doctors don't always know as much as they think
they do. I also think some push the families too pull the
life support because they themselves as an individual wouldn't want to live that way. It is almost as society
looks on people with disabilities as something to be ashamed
of because they don't look like us.

I have worked for six years back home with Children with
Disabilities. I promise that 98% of them are as happy
as any other child if not happier. I think God makes
them that way. But they also learn to function as normal
as they can.

Oops, Got on my soap Box

Applause!!!
