After three visits to Terri Schiavo’s hospital bed in the last twenty-four hours, Sherry Payne, close friend of Terri Schiavo, appeared on MSNBC’s Abrahm’s Report Monday night. Mrs. Payne indicated that Terri recognized her, interacted with her, tried to speak, was very loud, and was the most communicative she had seen her:
Terri is very verbal.... Her eyes follow you. When I was speaking to her last night about all the good times we had, she lifted her face to me. Her eyes followed me, me and tried to talk.... She was very loud to the point that the police officer came to the bed and looked at her. When you speak to her she looks at you, she follows you and tries to speak.... Last night was wonderful.... She has come a long way.... When I spoke to her about dancing both of her arms came up, then went down.
