MAN EMERGES FROM PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE (MAYBE NOT; SEE UPDATE BELOW)
A high school basketball coach has come out of a persistent vegetative state, WFTV reports:
He’s been in a persistent vegetative state for more than a month, but a popular high school basketball coach has awakened.
Bishop Moore coach Rob Graham, 33, collapsed of a heart attack in February during a championship game. When a police officer tried to resuscitate him with a portable defibrillator, the device failed and it took another 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.
Doctors say they had slim hopes he’d survive. But, on Good Friday, he suddenly showed signs of recovery.
“Nurses were coming from all over, and they started getting him to follow thumbs up and sticking his tongue out and then he turned to the picture of his girls and smiled, and I’m crying with him because I can’t believe it. It was a miracle,” said Rob’s wife Tammy.
Say a prayer tonight for Rob, his wife, and his two daughters.
Update/possible correction: The Sentinel says the man awoke from a coma, not PVS.
