The president can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately. It is not breaking any law to do so. The judge can still take time to ruminate over this case. This action would not interfere with the judge. And since Greer already flaunted a Congressional subpoena his ruling is highly questionable.
Executive orders are lawful. They've been written by presidents ever since Washington on a number of different issues.
Contacting the president and ask him to write an executive order immediately. If you cannot reach him, then contact your state senators and representatives.

"The president can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately."
The President [note the capitalization] can do no such thing. He can only write executive orders dealing with Executive departments of the Federal Government. He can't write executive orders having to do with state matters.

I suggested before, but after additional research, I believe an executive order has to be related to a specific point of law. It might have worked had the original verision of the bill which granted an immediate TRO been passed.
If you are referring to the 1957 case in Little Rock, the troops were inforcing Brown V. Board. Sending troops now would be to support Michael Schiavo
