As pamlet pointed out to me above, Friday is not a legal holiday for Florida. This means in order to take advantage of that clause they'd have to wait for Friday to take her. That can't be what the delay is because I can't imagine they'd make Terri dehydrate any further just to buy one extra day. My suspicions were off.
Is it possible the doctor who saw Terri today told Jeb Bush that Terri can hang in for a while longer? I have to believe Jeb asked the doctor how much time Terri has. Perhaps Terri is doing well and Jeb will wait until 12:01am EST on Friday, just 23 hours from now. Freepers, what do you think?
I don't think they can wait till Friday, either. But I hope they aren't waiting till noon tomorrow!

Terri Schiavo's parents saw their options vanish one by one Wednesday as a federal appeals court refused to order the reinsertion of her feeding tube and the Florida Legislature decided not to intervene in the epic struggle. Refusing to give up, Gov. Jeb Bush sought court permission to take custody of Schiavo. (AP Photo/Steve Cannon)
