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.
Nite mj-yourname'stoolong! Have a BLESSED Easter!!! :)
Dearest Friends of Terri,
I am very distraught this evening. I have contemplated whether to send this information to the people who have remained steadfast and very dedicated in their fight to free Terri from her captors. However, after great consideration, I feel it is only right that I share with you, Terri's supporters, the information I have been given to me this evening by Terri's family.
As we all have come to know, Terri Schindler is a strong woman who has an incredible will to live. Despite the daily inhumane torture that is inflicted upon her by estranged spouse, Michael Schiavo, (the man who has allowed her to lay in a bed with no food and water for the past eight days,) she has been fighting very hard to remain alive. Last Friday, in spite of her not being permitted therapy since 1993, Terri even tried to articulate the words "I Waaaaaa " in a very loud voice, in response to Attorney Weller saying to her, "all you have to do Terri, is tell us you want to live, and this whole thing can be over Terri."
Under normal circumstances, considering how well hydrated and nourished Terri has been due to receiving the balanced nutritional elements in enteral feedings, it would seem reasonable for Terri to live for another week, or so. However, what was reported by her family tonight, has presented my worst fears. Terri's breathing has changed and has recently become very labored. I am assuming this is happening so quickly because of the possible initiation of Woodside's "exit protocol." A protocol which delivers to her nebulized morphine, a narcotic which suppresses respirations. (see attached pdf exit protocol) The "exit protocol" was obviously written to enhance her death process. Woodside claims Morphine was to be administered to provide her with so-called "comfort" measures. Odd, however, they would find it necessary to administer Morphine to a patient who Schiavo and Felos have declared all along has no pain, is without any feelings, and is brain dead.
Go figure!
In simple English, it appears they are killing Terri faster than she has the ability to fight to stay alive any longer. Terri's family are physically and emotionally worn out. They feel disappointed and deserted by government leaders who they once supported. They pleaded for help from them to save their daughters life, but were repeatedly turned down by judges who chose to err on the side of death, as opposed to life. Sadly, leaving them alone to stand by and witness their daughter fighting against the inhumane death of starvation and dehydration.
The callous, cruel and bizarre behaviors we have also witnessed from Schiavo in his determination to rapidly kill the wife he claims to love; leads us to assume he may now be on a rapid mission to leave Terri's parents with the memory of her death on Easter.
Please pray that God continues to protect Terri. Pray that He will provide Terri with peace as she struggles to take her final breaths. Please pray that He allows her family to feel confident that they did everything possible to save her life. Please pray that He allows them to know how much she loves them for the valiant fight they have made on her behalf. Please pray that if Terri is forced to take her final breaths, it can be with her family by her bedside and not Michael Schiavo. Pray that someday soon she will be capable of inhaling the beauty of LIFE, in a place where no more harm will come to her.
As Terri now lays taking labored breaths, I myself, am given a sense of peace in knowing if she dies, she will soon be free from Michael ever bringing harm to her again. I will no longer have to worry about what he may do to her; or, how she has had to stay locked up in a room away from her family and the beautiful sounds of the earth we all are able to enjoy every day. I will pray for each of you that you find peace within yourself in knowing you have helped Terri in your own special way.
In the meantime, please know, for as long as Terri is alive and fighting, I will continue to pray for a miracle and will keep on fighting for her until her final breaths are taken. I ask that you all join me in doing the same.
Thank you so much for being an enormous strength for Terri's family. They continue to appreciate the love and dedication you continue to show to Terri, and to each of them.
I will keep you posted.
Respectfully, and with great admiration.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE and Goodnight. :)
Happy Easter, Humidston!!!!
LOL! You silly! But you make a good point.
BTW, did you catch my tagline?
I have a question for any Roman Catholics here -
If a person is baptized and raised Catholic, but leaves the church for several years, and goes back - would they need to go to confession before being able to take communion again?
Dayspring has quite a few beautiful short movies that lift the heart. They are full of beautiful pictures with scriptures. They are great if you want to send one to a loved one by email for Easter.

Hillary! is probably laughing her ankles off over the infighting....I'd imagine.
She's evil too. She wouldn't give a passing thought to Terri or her family. Heck, she'd be rootin' for ms.
Prayerful Ping to Post 4,342
I have felt like he is too.
Just because Art sometimes serves Froot Loops to his audience doesn't mean he has to be one. :)
You may be right. Jeb is going to wish he did what he had to do when the fight would have been easier.
Poor little Terri.
Happy Easter, sweetie!
THAT was powerful.
I'm in for the long haul, Gramma. I have no doubt about it.
I thought of Civil War, Civil War...but I decided to split hairs.
I enjoy good analogies. Feel free to hit me with your best shot! :o)
Oh Pegita.
I have no words.
There are few people that I would even give a second thought to hating, it's just not worth the effort or time to think about them...I can not imagine the effort that Michael is going through to ensure she dies, and the awful things I can imagine he says when he's alone with her....I don't want to start a theological debate...but I wonder--once you sell your soul is it redeemable? (or is that one of those, Can God create something so heavy he can't lift it questions?) I know of no one besdies King Saul that it is indicated that the Spirit departed. I wonder if it's even possible for the evil three to repent?
*musing and feeling hopeless about this battle, but not the war*

May Christ, the True Light, enlighten you, mark you with His countenance, and lead you to His unapproachable radiance.
Wishing you a deeply peaceful and joyous celebration of His resurrection....
I've always struggled with "do not resist evil"... I don't think I'd stand there and let someone murder my child (not saying that Bob and Mary just 'stood there'!)..
