Life Legal wishes you a happy and safe Independence Day!
A LIFE SAVED!!!
Last week, I had the opportunity to meet Tabetha Long, a 32 year-old woman who was largely unresponsive after she went into cardiac arrest. The decision was made to put Tabetha in hospice and to starve her to death.
Two days after arriving in hospice, Tabetha began to speak and move her limbs. When her boyfriend, John, went to visit her, she told hm she was hungry and asked for something to eat. John tried to get the hospice facility to feed Tabetha, but they refused. When she tried to get out of bed, they put her on morphine. John called the Life Legal Defense Foundation and we were able to find a local attorney to intervene. He and John went to court and the next day Tabetha was moved back to the hospital. She had been without food for 10 days.
Now Tabetha is learning how to feed herself again at a brain rehabilitation facility. She is breathing on her own and is walking with assistance. She speaks in complete sentences and has been asking to go home. Just two weeks ago, she was given a death sentence.
THANK YOU, Life Legal supporters, for helping to SAVE TABETHA’S LIFE!!!
