Here is some very good news: Robert Schindler, the father of Terri Schiavo, is improving. Bobby Schindler told me via e-mail: “My father is in his first week of rehabilitation to help return the strength he lost on his right side. I am happy to say that in the short time he has been getting therapy (two days) he is already walking (with a little help) and is also regaining some of his strength in his right arm. My family is taking it one day at a time knowing that he has a lot of work in front of him, but are optimistic he will continue to respond to the therapy.
“The letters and prayers that my father has and continues to receive have kept him in very good spirits. My family is very fortunate to have so many people that genuinely care about my fathers well being.”
If anyone wishes to write Robert and wish him well, here is the address:
