I saw that -- it was Sean Morrison, MD, GERIATIC and internal medicine physician, which might explain where HE's coming from.

I sent email complaint of onesidedness -- they had a 2nd physician attest that starvation is not painful -- no other input about how care has been inadequate, et al -- and LINDA did not question the crock!! to dayside@foxnews.com

It was a crock. I told them then Linda Vester should have just called Bobby Schindler a liar for saying Terri responds to her father's scratchy face when they had him on at the top of the hour. I cited specifics up thread.

It was a total crock.

Thank you. Evidently, Fox's Napolitano is agreeing with Judge Greer. They need to get rid of that idiot.

MSNBC saying that Congressman expected this move from Greer.

Tom Delay said "Terri will not be forsaken"

Sounds to me like there's a plan...

Continuing in prayer, in the meantime...

Let me try and explain my outlook. First, stating that I very much think Terri should be given over to her parents for the reasons I posted above, and outline below in my last paragraph.

I watched my brother who was 35 pass away from cancer. He had had a feeding tube, and it decayed inside his body and he was not getting nourishment. He had gone in and out of consciousness for a while. He had asked his wife to keep him at home, with his family, so he could die there. It was an extremely difficult time for her; the children (3) were age 2,5, and 10. But she did it. On Dec 11th he asked her to call the family to visit on the 16th. It was eerie. We wondered why he picked that date. We all lived very far away, but we all came. I remember leaning over and asking him if he was hungry. He did not respond. We ribbed his lips with a lotion, and swabbed his mouth with lemon sticks. He made no reaction. I told him I loved him, and and stroked his hand. He did not feel me do it, but then I whispered in his ear hoping somehow the message reached him. He was not in a "coma" per se. But, for the most part, everything had shut down. He could not see, he could not speak, and he had lost control of all bodily functions. Nothing responded. And, he could not even feel any sensation or pain anymore. You could prick him with a pin and he would not even move. He passed on the morning of the 17th at 11:00 a.m. just after everyone had been in to see him. He knew.

The doctors explained that he felt no pain, and no hunger because all his nerves and senses had stopped functioning long beforehand. It is not like starving someone who has all of their senses, or like an animal out in the woods who is without food. My brother had already lost all ability to “feel” things as a human feels them.

As I understand it, Terri’s brain stem has been destroyed; hence she would have the same “non-feeling” about being left without food.

Now I know they say Terri has some sensations, but I do believe that for the most part she is already dying slowly, and as that continues, so will any remaining feelings. I do not think, and as many doctors have said, that she will feel pain as you and I do.

Thus, I do not hold to the “starvation” aspect. Mine reason for wanting her given to her parents is of a different belief: That is that no one should be left to die alone when there are people who love them and can be with them. If, by the miraculous chance Terri can re-gain some aspect of her former “self” that would be wonderful. Improving her quality of life, is certainly to be considered and worth any effort. But that can only happen if she is given over to her parents, whom I am sure, desire to do that. Otherwise, if her life is not to improve, she should be coddled in their loving arms when she goes to meet her Maker. Michael is being totally selfish in not giving her that final comfort.

I got through on the (888) 355-3588 number, they put me through to Sen Bayh's office but no one is answering the phone - either they are swamped or they went home.(They accidentally put me through to Biden - got through but he's not my Senator)

Just went through to the switchboard so am trying Senator Lugar.

Bring it up again!

God would not have brought us thus far if He intended for us "to die in the desert."

I spoke to Tom Delay's Office Assistant, told him what is happening.

He is sending the message through ASAP.

Her nurses have said they have fed her jello. She isn't dying. She just can't feed herself. Totally different.
