HUTCHINSON, Kan. -- A story out of Hutchinson Wednesday was nothing short of incredible. A woman who had been in a coma for the past 20 years suddenly woke up, according to a report Wednesday night on "KCTV5 News at 10." Sarah Scantlin was 18 years old when a drunk driver hit her in 1984. She'd been in a coma ever since, that was, until a nurse showed her a children's book for the pictures and Sarah suddenly started to read it out loud. "I started listening to the conversation, and I'll be darned. She's not talking about Sarah, she's talking to her. I got on the phone, and she said, 'Hi Dad.' I didn't ever think I'd see or hear that again," said James Scantlin, her father. After coping with their loss for 20 years, her parents said their dilemma was what to say after so long. She still thought she was 18 years old but was able to recall family pets and to recognize friends who'd aged 20 years
