I think everyone should come to grips with the fact that it might be too late.

You do not just starve someone and totally restrict their hydration for 12 days and then quickly return to normal with the reinsertion of a gastrostomy tube.

It is highly probable that at this late juncture she may have suffered significant renal damage among a host of other things. If she has renal damage/failure after this, do you give her dialysis?

She would need to be resuscitated very carefully in a hospital in all likelihood, and we may find that she has suffered even more organ damage. I sincerely hope not.

Thanks, you just explained what I was trying to say.

Well, I've noted at least one freeper (HiTech RedNeck) has offered his kidney.

Oh, I have thought about this and you are so right. But it is a miracle she has lasted this long, so perhaps there is another one on the horizon for Terri.

What I do fear is that the process starts, and then somehow Greer finds a way to have it stopped again. I would hate to see Terri become a "pin cushion" of sorts. And the stress would kill her parents as well as her. More prayers on my knees tonight.

no one is asking for CPR or antibiotics or oxygen or any of that .....she can be a DO NOT RESUSCITATE person and that would be just fine with me.......

what is absolutely disgusting is forbiding even a drizzle of water down her parched throat, and denying her what for her is normal nutrition, as it is for thousands of people here in the USA...

we all realize she has had brain damage.....

"I think everyone should come to grips with the fact that it might be too late."

I think everyone knows that. But maybe, just maybe, God gave her the strength to hang on for a reason.
