Everyone: PLEASE PRAY FOR TERRI SCHIAVO! In case not all of you know, she's the woman in Florida whose family is fighting her "husband" for her life. The Schiavo family is very devoutly Catholic. Terri Schiavo's "husband" sued doctors for maltreatment for something and got $1,000,000... BUT the money was only for TERRI. I believe it was supposed to be used for her treatment in the hospital. Anyway, Terri Schiavo has been in the hospital for years. Her family thinks that her "husband" had a great deal to do with her condition; the doctors took x-rays of Terri when she first went into the hospital, and they found bruises on her body (even on her neck!). Terri's family members believe that she was beaten by her "husband" and even strangled. While Terri was in the hospital, her "husband" got with another woman and now has two kids with her. Eight years after Terri had been in the hospital, her "husband" said that the doctors needed to take her off the feeding tube because, he claimed, she told him before that she did not want to live off of machines. Yeah right. EIGHT YEARS after she'd been in there did he decide to "share that information." I don't buy it. Terri's "husband" has been fighting for a long time for Terri to be taken off of the feeding tube. In other words, the donkey has been trying to kill Terri by starving her to death. Her family has been completely willing to take complete control of her care, but they aren't allowed to because her "HUSBAND" gets to make the decision. In fact, he has been preventing Terri from recovering in every way that he can. The only thing she has had has been the feeding tube, and that's just the basic stuff. He prevents the nurses from taking care of her! The family doesn't know if he has visited Terri or not because he isn't required to sign in at the hospital like they are, but, as far as they know, he hasn't visited her in a very long time. I think it's awful. He doesn't want to be married to Terri, but he won't divorce her because THEN he won't get the $1,000,000!! He doesn't want to divorce her; he wants her DEAD. Just recently, a judge ruled that Terri be taken off the feeding tube... She has began her end by starving to death. Check out this website -- (I don't know how to make it a link...)
