| Family Says Terri Schiavo Moved
- Family Attorney: Brain-Damaged Woman Back At Hospice
(Note: What a nightmare for the Schindlers... Terri still in danger!) October 22, 2003 10:04 PM Clearwater, Florida - The family of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, who just had her feeding tube reattached by order of the governor, says the woman has been moved. The family got word Wednesday evening that they would be able to visit the 39-year-old Schiavo in the hospital after earlier being barred from her bedside by her husband, Michael Schiavo. But when they got there, her brother, Bob Schindler, Jr., said he was told by nurses that his sister was no longer there. "Now they're telling me she's not here, so I don't know what's going on. Nobody is telling us anything," Schindler said. Pat Anderson, the family's lawyer, said later that Schiavo was taken back to the hospice that has been caring for her for several years. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush intervened in the Schiavo case Tuesday after the Legislature empowered him to do so. A feeding tube that had earlier been removed from the woman was ordered reinserted. The feeding tube was removed by court order last Wednesday at the insistence of her husband. The case is one of the nation's longest and most contentious right-to-die cases, pitting members of the same family against each other. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press |
