Had an MRI been recommended, I would be surprised if they would not authorize it.

I wouldn't be surprised. From AlbionGirl's post above: "I stopped him and told him that these [MRI] tests have never been done for her; that Michael had refused them."

Didn't Terri have a guardian ad litum (sp?) appointed who made the decisions about doctors?

I don't doubt that Michael Schiavo may have refused them. Terri Schiavo still has the thalmic stimulator implanted in what's left of her brain. An MRI is not a procedure that would be recommended as a result.
