My heart still goes out to the Schiavo family. Kim, I with you about Terri. I think she still had it in her…but just couldn’t speak. If it’s true what they say – that the brain controls our actions like smiling, blinking, etc., then I would say Terri was trapped in her own body. Shame on her husband for allowing them to disconnect her feeding tube. He will get what’s coming to him. Not so much for allowing the feeding tube to be disconnected but for not allowing her mom and dad to take full control over her medical issues. This is mom and dad we’re talking about. They gave birth to Terri. If we say in a court of law “that’s hearsay” and we don’t allow the testimony than why did we allow the tubes to be disconnected just because of what he said? Some things are just not right. I’m happy that the Houben family stayed strong in their convictions!

Its frightening to think of the possibility of something like this happening,but reassuring to know that each day more is learned about previously unknown conditions,and new found medical technical advances.
The scientific field discoveries look very promising as well.
I once read like 20 years ago,that someone, an older woman who was ‘frozen’ but somewhat responsive,’Awoke’ with a supply of a nutrient mineral that she was deficient of. However I can’t remember the particular mineral.This happen in a rural area and it was not publicized widely.
It may be that a lot of incapacitating maladies and pesky conditions are due to malnutrition and foods intolerance;and that this simple remedies can also help to restitute people back to health such as this case.

Her brain was a fraction of the size of a healthy human brain. There was no doubt she was brain dead

I think this is a wonderful breakthrough.
And it shows that God doesn’t leave anyone.
Prayers is what made this happen.
I commend his family for not giving up on him
over the many years. God will bless them for their
kindness.

Having been in the medical field for a number of years I always felt patients could hear and understand and told everyone to be careful of what you said to them. I am happy to know that this has been figured out. I am very happy, hopeful, and prayerful for Mr. Houben. I wish him the best in his recovery and many blessing.
