"........ 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though, strongly disagreed with that assessment, telling CNN on Thursday night that Schiavo "does look a little withdrawn" but insisting that she was not in pain.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!

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.
