Parents Keep Watch Over Dying Schiavo
Quote from article:
"Weller said Terri cried when her mother hugged her Saturday night. "She knows what's going on. She was trying to vocalize something with Mary."
"The governor should know that Terri still knows who her mother is, and she's extremely distressed," Weller said. "She's not a vegetable who doesn't know what is happening."
Paul O'Donnell, a Roman Catholic Franciscan monk, said the family unsuccessfully urged Michael Schiavo to allow his wife the sacrament of communion during the holiest feast of the Catholic year. She received last rites the day the feeding tube was pulled."

The part about Terri crying when her mom hugged her made me sad, but I wonder if she's done that before. I also wonder if it's true, as I read an article earlier today that mentioned her father had said her tongue & eyes were bleeding, but that had been disputed by Michael Schiavo's attorneys. But I don't see her father making up something like that. I dunno' -- this whole thing is just so emotionally charged.
