This is a wonderful thing... right in the nick of time to save Terri.
It seems to me that this sort of medical evidence will be a mitigating factor for her parents when the final judgement is made.
Thank God this woman's parents never gave up on her.

'It's like a miracle'

Woman begins regaining her memory, forming words for the first time since she was critically injured 20 years ago


By Clara Kilbourn


A Hutchinson woman who suffered a critical head injury and has been verbally unresponsive since she was hit by a car 20 years ago has begun to form words and is regaining her memory.

Sarah Scantlin, 18 at the time of the Sept 22, 1984, pedestrian hit-and-run accident, has been bedfast at Golden Plains Health Care Center since mid-1985.

"It's like a miracle has happened," Golden Plains Administrator Sharon Kuepker said of Scantlin's recent progress.

While she had been cognizant of what was going on around her, until about a month ago, the only sound Scantlin had made was crying out in a loud voice - something she started in the last few years, said Jennifer Trammell, Golden Plains Social Services staff member.

In her two decades at Golden Plains, the staff always has talked to Sarah when they were in her room - as a part of her plan of care, Kuepker said.

Scantlin had been placed in small group settings before, but a month ago Pat Rincon, Golden Plains activity director, was working with her in a small group she responded with an 'OK, OK.'

"It just happened one day, and nobody really knows why," Kuepker said. "She had been in that group before, and it was just like all of a sudden something happened. It just came out real plain."

From that point on, Rincon started working harder on communication, Kuepker said.

"It was like a red flag that Sarah understood and repeated it," she said.

Since that time, Scantlin, the daughter of Betsy and Jim Scantlin, has progressed to the point she is forming additional words, is counting and is remembering people and places.

The past two decades have been an emotional turmoil for them, Jim Scantlin said. "It's been a profound conflict between a deep sorrow and self-pity."

On open house at the nursing home for friends and family to visit and celebrate the change in her condition is set for Saturday.

On the night of the accident, her daughter was out celebrating with friends, Betsy Scantlin said. A Nickerson High School graduate in the Class of 1984, she was commuting to Hutchinson Community College, where she had enrolled as a freshman.

"That week, she had a new job at Wiley's and had been named a member of the HCC drill team," Betsy Scantlin said. "They were celebrating all the good things that happened."

Scantlin and her friends had left the J. W. Tappens Club in the 2100 block of East 11th Avenue at about midnight and were walking to their cars when a passing car struck her.

The driver of the car left the scene without reporting the accident. He later was identified as Douglas D. Doman II, 24. He was convicted of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an injury accident and served six months in jail.

It's a good thing they didn't just starve her to death, huh?

I wonder how they are going to tell her about the USSR/Iraq no longer existing, 9/11, VP George Bush's son is in the White House, the Royals and the Jayhawks both won titles and impeachment.

The Clinton is going to be impossible to describe to her

Just 111 replies? This is an amazing story; even more so coming days before the planned execution of Terry Schiavo.

However, instead of the call being about Sarah, it was actually from Sarah.

Praise God.
