Terri Schiavo’s documented vocabulary
From the Empire Journal (please read the whole article), a list of Terri Schiavo’s documented vocabulary references:
Witness: Nurse Heidi Law
* mommy
* momma
* help me
Witness: Nurse Carla Sauerlyer
* pay (meaning “pain” when she was in discomfort)
* Haaaiii (meaning “Hi” in response to “Hi Terri”)
* mommy
* help me (”Help me was, in fact, one of her more frequent utterances. I heard her say it hundreds of times.”
Terri’s Mediplex records:
* stop (in reference to one medical procedure being done on her)
Terri’s family members:
* ugh-hugh (meaning yes)
* ugh-ugh (meaning no)
* yea (’yea’ was a word she reportedly first re-learned to speak in 2002.)
* No
All this, despite being refused any rehabilitative services, such as speech therapy.
The Schindlers have maintained, backed by medical experts, that Terri is not PVS and could improve with rehabilitation. Michael Schiavo, although being awarded nearly $1.7 from medical malpractice claims on the representation that he would provide rehabilitation services for his wife, refused to do so shortly after receiving the money and instead has used the money earmarked for Terri’s rehab to be used for legal fees to obtain a court order to end her life.
What has the world come to when we can stand by and allow a person like Terri to be killed as she is scheduled to be this week? Michael says she would want to die, her family says she would NOT. The judge ruled in Michael’s favor. When it’s one party’s word against the other, WHY NOT err on the side of caution and let her live! Judge Greer is WRONG–Terri must be allowed to live and rehabilitate! Is her life worth nothing because she is brain damaged? Is that how things should be–eliminate “defective” humans from existence?

Blogging For Terri
Getting serious again for a minute. I haven’t done a lot of blogging for Terri Schindler-Schiavo. A couple of posts, and that’s it. I feel I should have been doing more, but, believe it or not, if all I can

Now tell me again how this woman is a vegetable? This is shaping up to be the grossest miscarriage of justice in history. Judge Greer’s rulings must be overturned. No if’s and’s or but’s

Carla Sauerlyer states that this “loving husband,” asked, “Is the bitch dead yet?”
