GEORGETOWN, Texas -- The parents of a Killeen man on life support have won a battle to keep him alive. Attorneys representing 43-year-old Terry Mace and his parents came to an agreement Thursday outside of court. Terry Allen Mace and Carol Mace will have control over their son's financial matter, as well as the ability to keep him on life support for the next 60 days. Mace's estranged wife was not a part of Thursday's proceedings. Her attorney did not contest the order presented to her by Mace's Attorney Ad Litem. On March 6, former Army Staff Sergeant turned military contract worker, Terry Mace, collapsed in his Killeen home. "We were literally mid-conversation, and it appeared he either fell back, or it was like the lights turned off," said Mace's roommate Kevin Herrera. Herrera called their other roommate, former Army EMT Rodolfo Salinas, to help. "He wasn't breathing, no rise or fall of the chest, and his mouth was locked shut, so I figured he had a seizure when he hit the ground as well. So at that point I started doing BLS, which is new for CPR," said Salinas.

That’s twisted. Terry what a coincidence.
Yeah, I see a lot of parallels with this case. Thank God the judge is not a parallel to Greer.
This is what the culture of death brings us.
People should have their “Advance Directive” written up and handed around to certain relatives and filed in their medical record.
That’s what you have one for.
if you aren’t their healthcare power of attorney you can’t do anything.
and you want this instead of a living will. with a living will the doctor is in charge. healthcare power of attorney, that person is in charge.
An Advance Directive can be as simple as “DNR” or “No DNR” - which could be extremely important at the relevant time - with or without a Medical Power of Attormey ... :-) ...
true.
If only people had paid attention to what Terri suffered, they would understand. Instead, they wish to be remain ignorant of the truth.
Thanks for the ping!
You are welcome.
Not to mention article says daughter’s took laptop and credit cards from his home..
Thank you, dear God, and prayers said for Terry Mace, his parents, and all concerned!
