Did the family members give up taking care of teri ? READ
- The "family members" tried to take care of her in 1990, only to petition to the court after 3 weeks that taking care of her had "overwhelmed" them, and she was returned to professional care.


I found this on a different board. Has anyone else heard this?


so let me get this right. They don't want to have day to day care but want others to do it and pay for it?

1. Yes.
They eventually brought her back becasue they didn't feel adequately able to care for her.

4. Yes, it's true. Here's the link:
(snip)

Theresa spent two and a half months as an inpatient at Humana Northside Hospital, eventually emerging from her coma state, but not recovering consciousness. On 12 May 1990, following extensive testing, therapy and observation, she was discharged to the College Park skilled care and rehabilitation facility. Forty-nine days later, she was transferred again to Bayfront Hospital for additional, aggressive rehabilitation efforts. In September of 1990, she was brought home, but following only three weeks, she was returned to the College Park facility because the "family was overwhelmed by Terry's care needs."

From the Guardian Ad Litem's report:

6.  both the Schindlers and Michael Schiavo were overwhelmed
with her level of care, I think, if you start reading the timeline info.


below from U. of Miami site
http://www.miami.edu/ethics2/schiavo/timeline.htm


September 1990

Terri Schiavo’s family brings her home, but three weeks later they return her to the College Park facility because the family is “overwhelmed by Terri’s care needs.”

7. Obviously
They don't want to do any help with the care (which the husband has done) but they want her kept a live. :eyes: Absurb.

9. I saw a brief interview with her father recently
and he said there was no problem with her care as it was"all taken care of". From other things he said , I am assuming that there is a fund that will take care of this. Guess where it may come from? RW's, I assume. From other articles I have read, the fight was about money from the beginning. They expected Michael to give them 1/2 of the money he received and he did not. The 700,000 she was awarded was spent on her care, adminstered by a bank the court had appointed. Also the money he was awarded has gone for her care, for the most part. Imho, These people are looking for a free ride on the back of their daughter. Sounds cruel, I know, but looking at the records, it appears that way. Plus they are RW, and she had turned away from that after marrying Michael, or maybe before. Amazing how people can morph their desires into another version of the story. They have struck me as false from the beginning of this story. Who is funding them?
