My biggest concern: since when is food and water considered treatment?

In Florida, since sometime after the time Terri collapsed.

(10) "Life-prolonging procedure" means any medical procedure, treatment, or intervention, including artificially provided sustenance and hydration, which sustains, restores, or supplants a spontaneous vital function. The term does not include the administration of medication or performance of medical procedure, when such medication or procedure is deemed necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.
Chapter 765, Florida Statutes 2004 <-- It's near the top, "Definitions"

Holy Father,

You know everything that is taking place here on earth. You have heard the secret conversations and You understand the hearts of all those involved in this matter of life and death. Father, we continue to ask that You move mightily in the hearts of the appellate judges and give them the courage to stand against the pressures of those calling for death. Make them unable to continue to ignore the facts and the truth. O Lord, use Your servants on the internet to INVESTIGATE the lies, to SPREAD the truth, and to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING for this mountain to be moved so that Your sweet child may be restored and justice may be served. O Lord, in the Name of Jesus, hear our prayers. Amen.
