We at the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation savor this recent and substantial victory for Terri as she has so very few in the courts. Under Florida Statute 744.3215, paragraph (M), Terri retains the right 'To receive visitors and communicate with others'. This is a retained right that no guardian may take away without prior court approval. It was appropriate and necessary for the court to restore this retained right to Terri in light of the fact that no evidence exists to warrant its restriction.
Yes, it was great news. Guardians cannot restrict visitation. And that's not all Michael Schiavo's done all these years. Being with her family makes Terri very happy and excited.
