A 7-year-old Kentucky boy fell into a deep sleep for 11 days recently...
Amy Shaw told television station WDRB ... that it happened after she and her son Wyatt attended a wedding in which she described the little boy as being the life of the party.
While she expected her son to be tired that night, she could never have anticipated that he would not wake up for 11 days.
...
He is having trouble walking and talking, but has shown signs of improvement.
Doctors woke the boy up with the help of a drug normally used to treat seizure; however, his condition remains a medical mystery.
All tests performed on Wyatt thus far so far come back “clear,” ...

Any time.
I saw this in “Insidious.” Get Elise on the phone! STAT!
my wife 11 days later: whut you say ?
One teenager spent a decade in such a state.
hell 1/2 of congress has been in deep sleep much longer than that
Good for him. When he’s married those days are over.
One more comment. The fainting happens because the Autonomic System is supposed to pump blood to your head when you get out of a chair, for example, or out of bed and stand up. If it’s not working, then you go black. I really have no clue as to why they stay passed out for up to days at a time, though...that’s odd.
That must have been his answer when someone asked him, "are you a Federalist or a Democrat?"
was the child simply asleep or was he unconscious?
Very unusual to “sleep” for 11 days.
Less unusual to be unconscious for 11 days.
It is very strange, indeed.
Probably unconscious is a better term...and certainly the case for the short episodes. But ‘sleeping’ without being able to be woken up for days seems pretty much the same.
I always thought that those two things were distinct from each other.

So subtle and so funny! LOL
He could have ingested something at the wedding. Maybe when he recovers they can ask him what he ate and drank there.
This was on our news last night and I noticed the boy’s eyes were out of alignment after he woke up as opposed to the videos and pictures they had of him before the coma. This would lead me to believe it’s something neurological.
Wow! That article is amazing I’ve never been in the position to decide whether or not to “pull the plug” on family because it was believed there was no hope. This news might provide more information to work with for people who will be faced with that choice in the future.
Watching a Gators game?
LOL!!! Good one.
