I infer from the all I read it was some time after the mal-practice suit was settled. That was a few years into Terri being in her present state. I believe after several months or even less one would quickly come to the conclusion Terri would never improve, was gone. The mal-practice suit took years.

It is possible one could be in denial for a very long time. It is possible the settlement of the case would be a climax event and one could then re think everything, re-evaluate and chose a new course of action.

And without the settlement money, there may have been no money to pay lawyers for the action to remove the feeding tube. The mal-practice was very likely on contingecy. The rest is not. And my last paragraph here may explain why no attempt was made to have the feeding tube removed as Michael could have known early he would have to fight the parents. Gee that was a good question.
