What I'm trying to say, if you think you can depend on a hospital or nursing home to take care of you, think again.

From personal experience, I know you are right. Elderly or sick people need to have a family fighting for them.

She probably won't get much better than she is now. They refuse to give her therapy. They consider her non-responsive and won't try. We do what we can.

My advice is to get in there and fight and get her therapy.

I was told by a foctor in March, that it was okay to let my Grandmother bleed to death, ``because there are worse ways to die.'' Well, we didn't let her. later, we found out at another hospital that she didn't even have the cancer she was diagnosed with. Today, my Grandmother is doing well, and she does not take any medication at 85 years old. I tell you this to encourage you to fight for your mother-in-law. Someone has to.

They better not whine about the elderly living on in my presence.

I have been trying to get Forced Exit and so far can't find it at any of the big book stores. I did get Smith's Culture of Death last year. And I got War Against the Weak yesterday. I haven't cracked it open yet. Did you post something about that book?

Then I began to wonder about the antichrist....something I know very little about...

I don't know anything about that but I know beyond a doubt that there is great evil in this world and people who will act on it.

Thanks for bringing me up to date on this story. If this is all true, I just can't understand how her so-called husband can get away with such criminal behavior.

I keep thinking about this....if I were the evil one and wanted to make a huge impression which country would I choose - the most powerful currently - and what would I be obsessed with = death, which Christ overcame.
Perhaps a reincarnation attempt at a previous success in allowing evil to rule, for however brief a time.

Just wrote this to Jeb:


Governor, I voted for you.

Terri Schiavo is an ominous indication of the direction our society has taken, and the cold attitude we have cultivated concerning the inconvenient among us.

The courts have betrayed justice. They have betrayed the people of Florida, and any of us could be next on the list of liabilities. They have endangered the next accident victim, the next stroke patient, the next baby born with a disability.

We are all potential inconveniences now. The judicial branch has shown that there is no protection to be had among their ranks.

Where is the executive and legislative? Are you hesitant to risk overstepping your authority? The judges don't hesitate.

An innocent woman's life is in danger. Can you at least make a speech? Go on Fox? Tell the nation what's happening?

These are the moments when good governors are separated from great men. Which class will you fall into?

Respectfully,
Thomas Bernardo

Rumours have been

flying aroun the internet and people are getting

things mixed up. This summary on one page seems to be

the most accurate.

"Judge George Greer: Ruler

of the Kangaroo Court set on killing Terri Schiavo.

Impartial? Not in the least! Worked side by side as

county commissioner with Barbara Sheen Todd (county

commissioner) for eight YEARS. Barbara Sheen Todd is

on the board of the hospice. Also, Judge Greer's

fellow judge, Judge John Lenderman is the brother of

Martha Lenderman (also on the hospice board! See the

Hospice Board members! Greer accepted as the basis of

his rulings, the questionable testimony of Michael

Schiavo (and his family) that Terri would wish to be

killed, yet Michael never stated that before he got

about a Million Dollars to care for Terri forever.

Greer also accepted as the basis of his rulings, the

"opinion" of a third doctor who just happens to be the

brother of a close associate of George Felos,

right-to-kill attorney, and very significantly, former

CHAIRMAN of the hospice board! If there ever was a

rigged court, Judge Greer's is it!"

Ok. Sorry. Yes she is

conscious but Jeb needs to do something straightaway

as she has gone without food or water since Oct. 18 at

8AM.

Jeb has the duty to uphold the laws of

Florida. He has been notified that a murder is taking

place in his state on his watch, to a defensless

diabled person. She is being starved and dehydrated

against her will, upon the false testimony that she is

brain dead and wants to die. She is not either.

Ok. Sorry. Yes she is conscious but Jeb needs to do something straightaway as she has gone without food or water since Oct. 18 at 8AM.

Jeb has the duty to uphold the laws of Florida. He has been notified that a murder is taking place in his state on his watch, to a defensless diabled person. She is being starved and dehydrated against her will, upon the false testimony that she is brain dead and wants to die. She is not either.

Christie, I'm happy to hear that your mother-in-law is doing much better. Prayers for her and your family.

When my father had his stroke many years ago, his doctor sent him to a special rehabilatative hospital in Milwaukee. He was given physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational thereapy. After 3 months he was able to feed himself, dress himself, speak coherently (although with difficulty) and even walk with a cane.

If you think any of these therapies would be benificial, perhaps you could have a doctor whom you trust examine her. He could recommend a course of treatment.

If this is all true, I just can't understand how her so-called husband can get away with such criminal behavior.

In this case, it seems that as 'husband' he had legal control, and the parents had no idea until later that Terri's condition may have been due to something other than her bulimia. (Like attempted strangulation during a marital argument)

Remember this. Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Juanita Broddick. OJ Simpson.

These were very public cases, yet someone seems to have gotten away with quite a bit in each.
