Terri Schiavo received a visit from her father, Bob Schindler, and an old girlfriend of hers Sunday night, resulting in an "extraordinary” reaction. Identified only as Sherry, the friend, according to an account in the Miami Herald, reminisced about their old times dancing and partying together.
According to the Herald, Friar Paul O’Donnell said Schiavo "raised her hands up and was moving and started making guttural sounds - like she does when she talks to her mother."
Some doctors have consistently insisted that Schiavo is in a chronic vegetative state and that any apparent feedback to loved ones is only reflexive reaction to touching. This was something more. It was a reaction to a specific person, whom Terri recognized and connected to past memories.
Supporters of allowing Terri to live still profess hope that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will intervene to replace a feeding tube that has kept Schiavo alive the last 15 years, but Gov. Bush has said more than once there is no more he can do.

I cannot believe I am watching this happen in this country! Certainly a pvs-brain dead person cannot react to old friends! Why is JEB not doing anything? He has the power to override judges and juries in death row sentences why cant or wont he commute terris sentence? It appears according to a WND article the Greer has a problem admitting when he is wrong!
LET the BOYCOTTS begin! I will never step foot in FLa again ( if I can help it, barring my fathers funeral). NO MORE Spending my money in a state that so openly and blatantly murders Innocent American Citizens! ( I wouldn't want to end up in a hospital down there!)
