What an incredible story

 

And this does prove that with continuing therapy, etc. a person CAN recover. It might be rare, but it can happen.

I don't recall anyone saying that a person could NOT recover...

 

 

 

I wonder the extent of his damage. In any event.. good for him and good for his family.

Well, I can tell you for one thing, I bet his brain wasn't liquified to the point of having ventricles be the size of at least half the brain.

You typed what I was thinking..

Oh, it's an apples and oranges comparison, no doubt about it. But there were a lot of people out there saying that no one recovers from injuries like these.

 

Terri and this guy are completely different.

 

Nonetheless, it's a great story.

True, it is a great story. I know people recover, but a coma is waaaaay different than Schiavo's situation, as you mentioned. And I just wanted to point that out before someone goes on about how Terri might have woken up.

 

And warm thoughts to this guy! He's got an uphill battle, but I hope he makes it--I can't even imagine how atrophied his muscles are. I wish him all the luck in the world.
