incredible story. title says it all.

Waking up after 19 years in a coma, that's just truly amazing!!!
My heart goes out to him and his family, and wish him the best of luck.
Just goes to show you what love, faith and determination can do.

Wonderful story DSchwartz, Thanks.

That is so great! First I got chills then I got tears. God was truly with them!And it is absolutely amazing that his wife stayed with him! Thanks for posting this DS!

~~for better or worse, untill death do us part~~ She is a wonderful wife, and soul for sticking by this man and staying so strong!! Love, strength and a bond like that should be enjoyed and shared by all of us at least once in life, if not all our lives

Chris asked me a long time ago if so and so happens (usually disfigurment or loss of a limb) would I still stay with him, and my reply is of course. He is the same man I fell in love with four years ago, father of our two children. I love him now and always will, no matter what happens. He is my life, and our kids life, I wish he knew exactly how much I do love him!!

That is a very touching story DS. Thank you for sharing it. Life is truly full of miracles.

taking this story to another perspective......

Imagine the catching up this guy has to do. Mainly with new technology. He went into a Coma with Pong and comes out with DOOMIII. He goes into a coma with The Incredible Hulk the TV series with Lou Ferrigno and Comes out to a feature film with a full CGI Hulk. (I'm sure my dates are off, but i don't do math when I don't have to...just trying to get a point accross) Imagine that gap that he has missed. Imagine watching TV and seeing CRAP you never thought could ever get on the air. Imagine turning on the radio and hearing 8 songs in a row that sound like they are by the same "artist". Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing yourself 19 years older............................................................all of this was probably a blink of an eye to him (maybe, I don't know anything about Coma's and how time spans to the victim)

Imagine being stuck in the dungeon of your mind for 19 years, hearing the sounds of your loved ones but not being able to get out.

aww ... ... that is a very touching story ... thanks ((DS)) ...

"Hope sure comes if you did not lose your faith"

Can you imagine what it was like for him during the coma - dreaming for 19 years. Has anyone read 'The Bridge' by Iain Banks? It's topic is exactly that

Wow, all I have to say is wow.

ok, so he couldnt talk right. but isnt being in a coma not moving at all. so that means they took care of him for everything like groomed him, bathed him, and i guess feed him through IVs? well, crazy story thouigh. it reminds me of the series "the dead zone" but great story DS.
