Fr. Rob has a grim update on Terri Schiavo.
Two thoughts ....
1) When my father entered hospice care it was with the expectation of all involved - including my father - that he had approximately 6 months at most to live. He was not obligated to be dead at the end of the 6 months, of course, but we all had the knowledge that that is what the outcome would be. The hospice people were wonderful and made the physical and spiritual comfort of his last days top priority. God bless them.
2) The hospice that cares forTerri Schiavo sounds as if it couldn’t pass the national veterinary standards for accreditation of animal hospitals. Dogs in the vet clinic where our Franny works can expect a certain level of hygiene, dental care etc. that Mrs. Schiavo is not receiving.
