With the autopsy threads grabbing attention, plights similar to Terri's continue. Just so that we do not get detracted, it is ongoing. Please also note the info following this post as well. A lot is happening, and that is why the more frequent pings.

I've been contacted by a local women in Denver whose
mom is struggling post surgery. The Mom recently married
and the husband doesn't want her to be treated because
she may be paralyzed. She has been severely overmedicated,
so that she was unable to speak.
Fortunately the heart surgeon was in favor of bringing her
out of the heavy meds so that she can be awake before
any decisions are made.
Mom has a living will, wouldn't you know. Current diagnosis
says she will need dialysis 3 times a week and may be
paralyzed - that apparently meets the "terms" of the living
will, according to Jean. Her Mother, foolishly, signed
everything over to this new spouse, including antique dolls
she and Jean had collected for years.
They meet with the ethics committee this am and he wants
all life support removed.
I wish I had some great advice for her.
As of last night, the sedation had been lowered and she was
speaking. Please join me in praying for Jean's Mom, that
her spirit will prevail and that she will repudiate her living
will.
For life,

Hi, 8mm & Les. Thanks for posting that info. Pls keep updated as you receive more info ... adding my prayers to all others.
Thanks for the ping. My prayers are going up for Jean's Mom. Please keep us updated.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON - BREAKING NEWS: I think the Republican Party is trying to do something proper (too bad they waited until Terri was gone) but nonetheless, Governor Jeb Bush today held a press conference wherein he announced that he is asking State Attorney Bernie McCabe to investigate why it took so long for Michael Schiavo to get help for Terri while she was lying on the floor in the collapse. It was on local television.
How very sad. See what a bag of worms we open when we allow man the option to kill. Each and every one of us could be in a similar spot someday.
May God be with the mother and help her.
