This city has proclaimed today Terri Schiavo day.
Last year Mrs. Schiavo, 27, suffered a loss of potassium in her body that caused her heart to stop beating and resulted in a coma. She underwent surgery, performed by Dr. Yoshio Hosobuchi of the University of California at San Francisco in December, to implant a stimulator in her brain.
The brain stimulator implant was a success, said her husband, Mike. Mrs. Schiavo is slowly emerging from the coma at the Mediplex Medical Center, a neurological care center in Bradenton, he said. She will undergo at least a year of speech, occupational and physical therapy.
A Feb. 9 Valentine's dance, sponsored by the Vina Del Mar Island Association, raised $1,575 for the Theresa Schiavo Trust Fund.
To contribute to Terri's trust fund, send a check payable to the Theresa Schiavo Trust Fund to First Union National Bank, 5250 East Bay Drive, Clearwater 34624.
NOTHING has happened in the intervening years to change her from the beautiful woman in the wheelchair getting her hair done to who she is today -- except lack of TLC. If she improves beyond that, fine; if not -- she's fine, anyway.SNIP (lg one, lol!): From St. Petersburg Times...dated Feb. 17, 1991 (1 year after Terri's collapse.)
