Florida – the “ Euthanasia State ?”

Florida – the “Euthanasia State?”

The devil himself is raising his ugly head again in Florida to take the life of another precious human being created in God's image.  That's right!  This time it is Scott Thomas who is in danger of having his feeding tube removed by his wife.  Scott's mom wants desperately to care for him, but has met resistance at every turn. Please pray for Scott and pray for the Church of Jesus Christ in America that she will not falter in times of trouble.  We failed Terri Schiavo – pray that we do not fail Scott!

With all of its “choose life” license plates and pro-life billboards, indeed Scott is in danger of being Schiavoed * in the state of Florida! – Flip

  * Term coined by Jo Scott in Denver , Colorado that hits the nail on the head.

JACKSONVILLE , FL -- Scott Thomas' mother tells FCN his wife plans to put him in hospice and remove his feeding tube if she gains custody of him in two weeks.

In the two conversations FCN has had with his wife, she would not confirm those are her plans.

Thomas is connected to a feeding tube, and FCN got a better look at his condition Tuesday outside his rehab facility.

Thomas is disabled. He can't walk or talk. But his mother says that doesn't mean he can't communicate.

At his mom's command, he gives a thumbs up, smiles, and tracks movement with his eyes.

He gets up at 6:30am every day for rehab.

He wears a cast to keep his left arm straight, and grips a device to keep his right hand from locking up.

"A therapist asked him if he thought he was ever going to walk again," said Pamela Patton, Scott's mother. "His eyebrows just shot up as a "yes."

Patton says Thomas has spoken three words since his trachea was removed six weeks ago.

Next week he starts work with a neurologist to look at treatment options.  

Patton has temporary guardianship of Thomas until June 3rd. On that day, a judge will decide if she retains that custody, or if Thomas' wife will take control.
