Terry's time is running out, and the battle for her life consumes the shindlers.

They've quit their jobs to become full-time advocates.

Bobby leads the charge, juggling phone calls from senators and celebrities.

Suzanne fights to stay cheerful for her family.

You know, we had to stay strong for each other. We had to stay strong for Terry. I mean, we had a fight ahead of us.

And all of us had to stock it up and fight for her.

She was, you know, fighting with everything she had, so we didn't want to let her down.

Bob's health is failing, but he forges ahead rallying supporters. Mary spends a lot of time in prayer.

My husband had a very hard time with this, very hard time, and I tried to be strong for him.

But just going to Mass and praying and just asking the Lord to please, just whatever you're

going to do, just do the right thing

and I don't want her to suffer.

Things at Michael Shivo's house are also tense.

He and his fiancé, Jody Senton, are stretched to the breaking point, worn out from this

all-out legal war.

Then another belligerent swoops in, Congress. If we don't act,

there's a good chance that a living human being would be starved to death in a matter of days.

And that's why the action now, that's why we're not rushing things, but deliberating quickly

so we can get this to the House of Representatives. She'll be starved to death next Friday.

The U.S. House passes H.R. 1332, the Protection of Incapacitated Persons Act of 2005.

It's an attempt to make a fresh sort of Terry's law at the federal level. For Jody, it's the

last straw. First, the state courts and legislature, now the U.S. Congress?
