Kaitlynn's Place

Many of you may remember the Terri Schiavo case. The seven year battle between Terri’s parents and her husband was heart wrenching to watch. The husband wanted to remove Terri’s feeding tube because he felt that she would not wish to continue life-prolonging measures in her vegetative state. The parents fought tooth and nail to prevent Terri‘s life sustaining feeding tube from being removed, but eventually lost their battle on March 18th, 2005. Terri died 13 days later. 

Abbie’s story is also a battle of will between her parents and husband. Abbie gave birth to triplets. Shortly afterward, she began to bleed and went into cardiac arrest. Her brain was deprived of oxygen for about 20 minutes while medical staff tried to resuscitate her.  Abbie was left unable to speak or move from the brain damage.

As if what happened to Abbie was not traumatic and heartbreaking enough, now she (via her parents) are in a legal battle with her ex-husband over visitation rights for the children.
