Multiple people have been arrested trying to bring this poor woman water. I did not think she was not allowed to eat/drink, I thought she was not allowed to eat/drink through a "artificially".
She wouldn't be allowed without proper swallowing evaluations, which she has never had. The people are bring the water as a symbolic gesture to try and help Terri.
My sister, while *very* neurologically ill, was re-taught to swallow with THERAPY.
My understanding is that she can swallow...she swallows her own saliva. This from a doctor on the Laura Ingraham show today. One of the nurses (I think from 1995-96) said she was eating puddings and jello at that time. I think MS had the tube installed to prevent the rehab from continuing. Any word yet if they have taken her into custody?
