Can someone help me try to understand today's events? I watch the news and get one view and on FR another... My question is: The Florida DCF sent a neurologist to diagnose Terri today and found she most likely has been misdiagnosed and not PVS but in a 'minimally conscience state' (who wouldn't be after 6 days of starvation and dehydration). So, the DCF said they had the authority they could go in and take Terri. Then judge Greer puts a halt to this.

The news media is implying that that the judge's ruling has stopped the State of Florida DCF and they now have been blocked from taking Terri and now aside from the Supreme Court, Terri has no hope.

But, on FR I find discussion and articles that they do have the power and they do not have to abide by the judge's ruling. My husband also works with the Developmentally Disabled in another state agrees that the State has power over the judge's ruling. Is this correct? Is the Media behind on this and if so, why hasn't the State, having their neurologist's report, gone in to get her, especially now that she is failing rapidly in the past day?

I was really hoping they would do it at 3-4 a.m. but no such luck.
