Pinellas Circuit Court Chief Judge David Demers has issued an order temporarily blocking the removal of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube previously scheduled for 1pm today. The order came down after subpoenas were issued by the U.S. Senate and House for Terri herself, along with her husband Michael and caregivers to appear before Congress on March 25th and 28th.

David Gibbs, attorney for Terri’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler said, "The family is prayerfully excited about their daughter going before the United States Congress for the whole world to see how alive she is."

Editor’s Note: This latest development in the Terri Schiavo case is a huge answer to prayer for those who are seeking life for her and who would like to see this young Florida woman have a chance at rehabilitation.
