Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.
"........ As of Thursday afternoon, Schiavo, 41, had been without food or water for six full days and was showing signs of dehydration — flaky skin, dry tongue and lips, sunken eyes, according to attorneys and friends of the Schindlers. Doctors have said she would probably die within a week or two of the tube being pulled.
'It's very frustrating. Every minute that goes by is a minute that Terri is being starved and dehydrated to death," said her brother, Bobby Schindler, who said seeing her was like looking at "pictures of prisoners in concentration camps.
The brother of Schiavo's husband, though, strongly disagreed with that assessment, telling CNN on Thursday night that Schiavo "does look a little withdrawn" but insisting that she was not in pain. He added that starvation is simply "part of the death process."
===============================
Visits by Terri's mother, father, sister and brother to see Terri are completely monitored and controlled by Michael Schiavo, and they have been refused entry at times to see their daughter and sister for as long as 4 hours. Unimaginable!

Terri Schiavo's Unstudied Life

She was a girl who laughed easily at her uncle's lame jokes. A girl so naive that she wrote to John Denver, asking him to come sing at her wedding, who went to Disney World for her honeymoon and believed that a good life meant that one day she'd be able to vacation there every year with her kids.
====================================
We await Judge Whittemore's latest ruling, and pray for Terri and her family.
Prayers for Terri.
Prayers in earnest ..Lord, have mercy on Terri and her family.

Has anyone here taken a look at Florida's recent history? I mean besides the weather, you've got this, Elian, the election fiasco, the recent murders of the little girl and that family... and now on tv I heard something about zoo infections..... not to mention gators in every backyard.. I'm sorry.. I'd have to think long and hard about moving there...
Goodnight you ol' swamp cat!

that Terri can finally be allowed to go Home in peace
There's adifference between being "allowed" to go home and being FORCED to go home.

Excellent point, DJ.
Another Freeper today pointed out that people keep saying Terri should be "allowed" to go home (Heaven). We respond that it's murder. She said that she told someone instead that Terri is a healthy woman being FORCED to go "home" That really struck me and she said the person she was speaking to then "got it".
So, whose staying up..anyone?
Thanks for the new thread.
I'm exhausted here - 3:37 am.
Somehow I've been having this hunch tongiht that Terri's feeding tubes will be reinserted.
Praying for Terri.
Not long, every time I get here, everyone leaves!!!
Hard to give up, waiting for news.
