Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.
It just gets me too worked up. :)
Please don't get worked up, put that power to prayer. All Terri has right now is our power of pray. Ask God to repeat this miracle for all the world to see.

Sarah Scantlin was 18 years old when, as a pedestrian, she was injured in a hit-and-run accident that left her in a vegetative condition, aware of her surroundings but unable to speak or move.
Since that time, she has been in a care centre in the Midwest US state of Kansas.
Scantlin´s parents unexpectedly received a phone call last week from the nursing home where their now 38-year-old daughter resides.
However, instead of the call being about Sarah, it was actually from Sarah.
"Hi mum," she said to her mother.
The words were a shock and a joy for Scantlin´s parents.
"There´s just no words," mother Betsy Scantlin told a CBS television news show. "I´ve just laughed ever since because it´s just so amazing."
Good night, STARWISE.
Gonna close the lid on things too for the night in the hope that the new day will bring good news for Terri.
Good night all.
You are right, star,The best thing my grandfather taught me, is that I should treat my lawyer, doctors, and accountant, just like I would any other employee. THEY work for YOU, and if they don't like it you can take your business elsewhere. It is YOUR decision, your right to decide, and YOUR health. Don't give them any power over you. ( /end rant :) ) My attitude (esp. with doctors) is VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY. My mother learned a lot about medicine researching what the doctors told her. She knows more about her lupus than most doctors and she totes around the latest copy of the standard textbook when she goes to see them. If they disagree with her, she hands them the book and gives them page and paragraph number. She is very much involved in patients rights. She also has a world famous heart surgeon terrifed of her, she corners him every time she sees him. Mom's a riot.
Michael wants her cremated immediately upon her death and Judge Greervorkian has ok'd it.
Why has no MSM reported this and does Congress, fla State Legislature,or the Atlanta Fed know this ????
I just read in an older magazine from last summer I that Tom Cruise went to his niece's gradution from a Scientology high school. Talk about creepy. Honors classes in L. Ron Hubbards teachings? I prayed when I read it.
You know, I've been watching Mikey "pretty boy" Schiavo on TV, and to me he comes across as as a supersized, Kerry-coiffed, pansyfied wuss of a girly-boy. YMMV (downwards from there) :)
Well, I'm gonna go turn on Sean...(she said bravely)
I am watching as I type....see ya later
Dec 1990
Like many here, I have been praying almost without ceasing since last Friday... in earnest, on my knees, in tears.
Which is probably why I get worked up at the arguers.
Has anyone ever heard if the scientology church has been alledged to ever use electro-shock on its more stubborn converts???
Boy did you hit the nail on the head. I just finished reading this, from Michael Schiavo's journal entries:
EXCERPTS THAT WERE TAKEN FROM MICHAEL SCHIAVO'S JOURNAL
4/16/1991 -- BECAME EVERY EXCITED, CRIED, FACIAL EXPRESSION, TEARS, WHINING.
4/17/1991 -- SITTING IN A CHAIR, HOLDING LEGS TOGETHER, HOLDING HER OWN HEAD UP, RESPONSE TO EVERY NOISE SHE HEARS, TASTED EXTRACTS, SWALLOWED. MIXED UP DAYS AND NIGHTS
4/25/1991 MS TALKING TO HER, SHE THEN LIFTED HEAD OFF AND AWAY FROM CHAIR. I ASKED HER IS SHE WANTED TO GET UP. SHE NODDED. I ASKED HER A MINUTE LATER, SHE DID THE SAME MOTION.
4/26/1991 JOHN (NURSE) SAYS EVERY TIME HE IS HERE TERRI SQUEEZES HIS HAND WHEN ASKED.
5/1/1991 - LAST FEW DAYS TERRI HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE ALERT. SHE WILL MOVE HER HEAD FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WHEN OUT IN WHEELCHAIR, SHE WILL HOLD HER OWN HEAD UP FOR THE PERIOD SHE IS OUT. STILL MIXES UP DAYS AND NIGHTS.
5/2/1991- ASLEEP, SEEMS TO DO A LOT OF DREAMING, HEAD WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH, TOES, LEGS,ARMS,FINGER, ETC WILL DO ALOT OF MOVING. TERRI DOES REAL WELL WITH HER EARLY MORNING STROLL.
SHE WILL HOLD HER OWN HEAD UP (UNLESS SHE FALLS ASLEEP) SHE WILL WATCH ALL THE NURSES DO THEIR THING.
My question now is... who is Cheryl Ford? How did she get excerpts from MS's journal? Isn't this admissable in court?
If they're looking for info and links, I don't mind. It's just the Terri thread troll that come here that make me nuts. I seldom venture into other threads unless I'm in a good mood. LOL
Perhaps the Yinglings are conjoined in wedded bliss on a dual purpose? Long stretch.....
Just ruminating.....I'm tired.
Yes. That was the name. That info is intriguing to say the least.
Interesting article/info about Dr Hammesfahr
Dr. Bill Hammesfahr
Neurological look at the Terri Schiavo Case
Dr. Hammesfahr was nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work in Medicine and Physiology in 1999. The Nomination was for work started in 1994. In 2000, this work resulted in approval for the first patent in history granted for the treatment of neurological diseases including coma, stroke, brain injury, cerebral palsy, hypoxic injuries and other neurovascular disorders with medications that restore blood flow to the brain. It was extended to treat successfully disabilities including ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette's and Autism as well as behaviorally and emotionally disturbed children, seizures and severe migraines.
The federal government has recognized Dr. Hammesfahrs clinical expertise, naming him Reviewer and Chief Reviewer for evaluation and funding for new clinical research programs. He has also been a court-recognized expert and a court-ordered treating physician for these techniques that he pioneered. He has lectured and published extensively.
Dr. Hammesfahr graduated from the Northwestern Honors Program in Medical Education in 1982, a program which only accepts a small number of high school students directly into medical school. He then trained in Neurosurgery and Neurology at the Medical College in Virginia. He has received Board Certification in both Neurology and Pain Management.
He has spent time with Terri Schiavo and recommends rehabilitation procedures be pursued.

"Is platinum magnetic? If not, then Terri can have an MRI. Michael Sciavo testified in his 1992 deposition that Terri's implants were "platinum electrodes"."
I don't know. I know that you can't have an MRI with metal in your brain. I heard one of the Docs on tv tonight say that they would need to be removed before she could have an MRI. My husband has a shunt with a magnet in it. He gets MRI's but the shunt needs to be reset with a magnet each time because the MRI's magnet shuts it off.
and here's a small blurb that someone posted about Dr. Cransford:
This Cranford guy is what trial lawyers call a "testifying whore". He goes around the country testifying on these cases and ALWAYS opines that the patient is PVS. That's because he's always hired by the side that wants the subject patient to die.
He has no credibility on the issue of using an MRI and a PET--as was demonstrated by the NRO article Captain Ed wrote about in Did Terri Receive a Fair Examination.
