God bless you, and your family. Your story touched my heart.
I don't think I can ever come close to explaining the pain one feels in a situation like that. Being unable to communicate and hearing people discuss and debate whether you live or die.
I empathize with Terri is some strange way I suppose.
The simple fact that she is alive should mean something to everyone here. Terri wants to live!!! If Terri did not want to live then she would have given up on her own.
