Terry's parents and her lawyers are at it again. They may succeed at getting the temperary feeding tube for the poor young lady :( I am hoping that things will change for ms. shaivo. It doesn't matter what condition one is in, everyone deserves a chance to live. The bushs' are trying the best they can to get the feeding tube back, if it wasn't for shaivo her husband, she would have had a chance all along. He's not carrying her wishes out. He's hoping for a large lump sum of cash.
This morning i go outside and something had messed up the ground. :) looks like a little tunnel has been dug across my auntie's yard. It really looks too big to be a mole, but more like maybe a groundhog. :) I have seen a few groundhogs around here but not a huge amount although they are extremely cute those teeth don't look too promising. Armadillos come out here at night and dig holes, but they are right in site, this is hidden under the ground. :)
It's beautiful outside, all of the dogwoods are blooming beautifully and the red buds are blooming too but i can't seem to say nothing but ahh chooo!!! :) I don't want to fill myself full of drugs. I just want to be able to breathe easy. Allergies will give you hell. :)
Alabama senator howard heflin died today. :( Howard heflin was one of the most promenant senators in alabama history. He will be greatly missed. :( Also Johnny Cochran lawyer to the stars and alabama native died as well, and poor terry who's loved by both of her parents is still in critical condition losing weight is still without her feeding tubes :( :( :( :(
When eating breakfast, always eat something that's good for you and not something that' s going to bring you through the rest of the day feeling bad. Breakfast is the most important part of the day and it shouldn't be one you regret eating for the rest of the day.
My main advesary in the morning is eggs. Fried eggs are the worst thing Icould eat. I am just an individual but other people may be feeling the same way. Oatmeal can be deadly too if you eat it the right way. Try a butter that doesn't have so much cholesterol in it.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — Described by her father as weak and emaciated, Terri Schiavo clung to life today, as police guarded her hospice room and demonstrators prayed outside for last-minute government intervention in the case.
Supporters of prolonging the severely brain-damaged woman's life also carried their protests to the White House, while her father repeated his plea that she be kept alive by having a feeding tube reinserted.
"She's still communicating, she's still responding. She's emaciated, but she's responsive," Bob Schindler told reporters after a morning visit with his daughter, saying that she showed facial expressions when he hugged and kissed her.
George Felos, the attorney for husband and guardian Michael Schiavo, told reporters later that he had visited Schiavo for more than an hour Monday and said she looked "very peaceful. She looked calm."
"I saw no evidence of any bodily discomfort whatsoever," Felos said, although he added her breathing seemed "a little on the rapid side" and her eyes were sunken.
Schiavo, 41, was in her 11th day without the feeding tube. Doctors said Schiavo would probably die within a week or two when the tube was removed on March 18. She suffered catastrophic brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped for several minutes because of a chemical imbalance.
Felos said the hospice room was decorated with flowers, had music playing and that Schiavo had a stuffed tabby cat under one arm.
He also said that the chief medical examiner for Pinellas County, Dr. John Thogmartin, had agreed to perform an autopsy. He said her husband wants definitive proof showing the extent of her brain damage. Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him years ago she would not want to be kept alive artificially under such circumstances.
An attorney for Schiavo's parents, David Gibbs III, said her family also wants an autopsy. "We would certainly support and encourage an autopsy to be done with all the unanswered questions," Gibbs said.
The parents pressed again for President Bush, Congress and the president's brother Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene to have the feeding tube reinserted. A small group of supporters protested outside the White House gates.
As Schiavo drew closer to death, extra police officers blocked the road in front of the Florida hospice, and an elementary school next door was closed so students could avoid the crowd.
About 100 protesters were on hand today with signs and renewed prayers. Some in the crowd mocked the police by goose-stepping like Nazis.
President Bush's aides have said they have run out of legal options. Gov. Bush said Monday that while it "made sense" to have federal courts review the case, he had to respect their decisions last week not to order the tube reinserted.
Jeb Bush later told Associated Press Television News that state lawmakers should closely examine issues of guardianship and when a feeding tube can be removed "if there's not an advance directive" such as a living will.
At least two more appeals filed by the state seeking the feeding tube's reconnection were pending, but those challenges were before a Florida appeals court that had rejected the governor's previous efforts in the case.
Schindler said he feared the consequences of morphine that has been used to relieve his daughter's pain.
"I have a great concern that they will expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine because that's the procedure that happens," he said.
Felos disputed that, saying that hospice records show Schiavo was given two low doses of morphine — one on March 19 and another on March 26 — and that she was not on a morphine drip. The records show that the second dose was given after nurses noticed "light moaning and grimacing and tensing of arms," he said.
Hospice spokesman Mike Bell said federal rules kept him from discussing Schiavo specifically, but said "a fundamental part of hospice is that we would do nothing to either hasten or postpone natural death."
Comfort measures, including morphine drips, are used in consultation with a patient's guardian, physician and hospice care team, Bell said.
I believe in this situation, Terry's husband has too much power in this situation. There must be something done about this perhaps, if she does die, maybe he can get charged with attempted murder. This isn't about terry with him, he isn't carrying out Terry's wishes, he is only thinking of himself and all the money he is going to collect after terry dies. :( Yes unfortunately he has a burial policy out on Terry and plans to creamate her and put her in her family's burial plot, you know this is far too cold, too heartless, too sick. Yes it's sick. Here we have a woman that's loved by so many people, not including her parents and then there is this god aweful demon who wants to end her life. YOu know, it goes against his beliefs, but yet he's doing it. He doesn't give a damned about Terry he just wants us all to suffer watching this poor innocent woman dying. Bastard.
There was another tsunami to hit southeast asia, :( Just after they were trying to recover what they had lost. :( Luckily it wasn't as bad as the other one, but no disaster is good, Shaivo's case isn't any better either, this poor woman is suffering just because of her husband.:( Jeb Bush has tried so hard to do something but it's out of his hands even. I pray for tsunami victims and terry shiavo. :((((
