(CNN) -- A Florida judge extended for two days an emergency stay keeping a feeding tube attached to a severely brain-damaged woman.

Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer's decision prevents Terri Schiavo's husband from removing the tube.

Greer's ruling on Wednesday also keeps intact a request by Terri Schiavo's parents, who sought to block another court ordering the removal of the feeding tube. On Tuesday, a state appeals court cleared the way for the tube to be removed. (Full story)

Terri Schiavo, 41, has been at the center of a court battle between her husband, Michael, and her parents since suffering heart failure in 1990 that left her severely brain damaged.
