The
hearing held 3/26/4 regarding Michael being in contempt of court for refusing
to keep Terri's parents informed regarding Terri's condition was another
disappointment.
From the Terri Schindler Schiavo
Foundation:
Judge Greer declined to issue a ruling today and stated that he would do so
within the next few days. He also suggested that the 1996 court order,
which was issued by another judge, should be revisited in court so that the
term 'significant change' could be determined.
Meanwhile, Terri's
condition is showing serious neglect. Accoding to Cheryl Ford,
RN:
"On two occasions in the past few weeks, both Bob and Mary Schindler have
told me that they asked why Terri's hair was oily and not washed. They
have questioned why she was not taken out of bed, or dressed. They
have questioned why she had a sudden unexplained bout with vomiting.
They questioned what happened to one of her teeth; why was it missing.
They now want to know why Terri has a decubitus ulcer on her buttock?
An ulcer, which would most likely not be present if proper nursing care was
being given to Terri. However, they are not given answers by the nursing
staff or by anyone. I cannot help but to find the situation here in
Clearwater the most appalling and blatant disregard for human life in my
entire 25 years in the medical profession."
More from Cheryl Fore,
RN:
"On
Wednesday, I attended a meeting in St. Petersburg at the Center for Independent
Living where Assistant Attorney General Shanika Graves, was in attendance.
I personally sat across from Shanika and asked her to please help Terri.
I asked, that if she could not help this blatant situation of abuse against
a disabled innocent woman whose husband is out to kill her, that she refer
me to another agency who could help in this untenable situation. She
agreed to do so. Yesterday on March 25th, I received a voice mail message
from a man named Tyrone from Ms. Graves office at
954-712-4607. He said that the attorney general's office
"Charlie Crist" had sent out an opinion stating that they had no jurisdiction
over anything that had to do with Terri Schiavo." [Perhaps you would
like to persuade her
differently.]
Also,
please call the state abuse line at
1-800-96-ABUSE and ask for them to follow
up with an investigation regarding lack of care for
Terri.
From Terri's brother, Bobby Schindler, Jr.:
"I feel as if Judge Greer is blatantly ignoring a very clear and concise
court order issued by Judge Pennick in 1996. What about 'change in medical
condition' requires interpretation? With every hearing, it gets more
obvious to me that this judge is working to insulate Michael Schiavo and,
in the process, is causing harm to my sister and torturing my parents. God
have mercy on other parents of disabled people in this jurisdiction."

Pope Declares Feeding Tube Removal Immoral
By Nicole Winfield, Associated Press Writer

VATICAN CITY -- Pope John Paul II said Saturday the removal of feeding tubes
from people in vegetative states was immoral, and that no judgment on their
quality of life could justify such "euthanasia by
omission."

Just moments ago the Senate voted and the Unborn Victims
of Violence Act (S.1019) fetal homicide legislation passed by a vote
of 61 to 38!
The Senate also defeated two alternative Amendments in an effort to kill
the legislation. Also a pro-life
Victory!

Above all, we need to keep praying for Terri and her family. They are
grateful for your faithfulness.
