PINELLAS PARK, Florida (CNN) -- The father of Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman whose feeding tube was removed a week ago, said Friday his daughter is "down to her last hours."

Bob Schindler, Schiavo's father, said, "Terri is weakening. ... Something has to be done, and has to be done quick."

Schindler said the family's hopes lie with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia, which is hearing -- for the second time this week -- an appeal claiming Schiavo's due process rights have been violated.

Schiavo is in her seventh day without food or water since Pinellas County Circuit Judge George Greer ordered the tube removed for the third time.

The case is again in the federal appeals court, where a three-judge panel will rule on the motion filed by attorneys for Schiavo's parents.

Jesus died for our sins on a Friday.

I'm sure Michael Schiavo and the judges who failed Terri will be stuffing their faces with food this Easter Sunday.

There's a death watch on Prince Ranier right now too.

I've never seen a group of people so hell-bent on killing one helpless woman. I recall reading somewhere ... I think it was Toland's biography of Hitler ... that on the morning following the Nazis' Kristallnacht pogrom against the Jews, Goering spoke words to the effect of, "Let us hope that our own enemies are not so ferocious in dealing with us."

It's become an exceedingly dangerous place to end up in the hospital if you haven't a family that's willing to watch the doctors like a hawk and question every single move they make.

No one, it is said, would want to live like her.

I distinctly remember saying, "If I ever get like my mother, please shoot me."

Oooops!

God Bless this family...their Cross is more than any of us could possibly bear in this life and death situation! What a remarkable display of their faith and devotion to their daughter, Terri.

It's not like we haven't seen this happening over the decades. Free Republic was created to try to stem the tide and perhaps return the country to what it should be. But, these shocking events represent a definite hard point of transition that is waking up a lot of sheeple. Still, a large part of the population are going along like good Germans.

Nothing that hasn't happened elsewhere, before.
