First, what was the motive behind wanting the feeding tube removed? Why wouldn't the husband turn Terri over to her parents? Did he have the tube removed out of love? Not for Terri! Maybe for self. If he'd loved her, he'd have stuck by her side, as our wedding vows say, "in sickness and in health." If he loved her, he'd have honored her parents. Next, the feeding tube was already inserted. When I was caring for my mom, our doctor said "Do not have a feeding tube inserted. It's too hard on the patient." But then, my mom was in her 80's, with no hope of recuperation. Terri had been improving before her husband stopped rehab. Who knows but what she wouldn't have kept on improving? Why didn't her husband want her to? Since the tube was already inserted, and her parents wanted to care for her, why not? If her husband didn't love her enough to stay with her, how could anyone believe him when he said Terri would not have wanted to live that way?<BR/><BR/>JAWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-1111706036235059942005-03-24T17:13:00.000-06:002005-03-24T17:13:00.000-06:00My dire prediction is that all of these questions/...My dire prediction is that all of these questions/concerns will be addressed after Terry's death. Then (and only then) will the news media focus on Michael Schiavo and possibly question his motives and financial gain. It will be interesting to see all of his supporters "back off" if/when Terry Schiavo dies...especially the politicians!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
