Husband In Name Only

Estranged husband

Murderer

[Miss Behave]

"She was so close. She was vocalizing, and saying some words, though not very clearly."

Bump.

[newzjunkey]

This is N-O-T the Terri Schiavo case.

This case is, thankfully, far more hopeful.

[newzjunkey]

That's not even a remotely factually based claim. Give it up. Terri's gone whether it's been fifteen years or several weeks.

[BykrBayb]

Yes! Isn't it wonderful when patients are given the care they deserve, instead of being murdered? Rejoice!

[freeangel]

'Hope someone sends a copy of this to murderer greer.

[BykrBayb]

Oh, I see you're already rejoicing. In Terri's murder. There's a thread around here somewhere about her family still not knowing where her ashes are. Have you been there to gloat yet?

[Miss Behave]

Does anyone have a clue as to WHY Michael HINO Schiavo has NOT buried Terri's ashes YET? It is just disgusting.

[BykrBayb]

If you're not aware of the facts, maybe you shouldn't be speaking out on this topic. It makes you look foolish.

[BykrBayb]

He refuses to say what he's done with the ashes.

[BykrBayb]

I hope everybody sends him a copy.

PONG

[kingattax]

amazing story

[CindyDawg]

That's what I meant. I'm very happy for this girl and her family but sad for Terri's .

[BlueNgold]

OK, stop making me cry.

[BykrBayb]

Will you forgive me if I share these with you?

[Miss Behave]

Sick man.

[Leo Carpathian]

Good thing that vulture lawyers didn't get chance to pull the tubes. God bless the girl and may she fully recover!

Every once in a while, you find these patients who make amazing recoveries from severe brain damage when so many don't. Just as some people have natural immunity to certain diseases, or a greater susceptibility to others, I wonder if these people have some unique genes that enable some brain regeneration or brain remapping that wouldn't normally occur in someone else. I have no idea how you would study this, but it would be worthwhile to find out what causes this recovery and whether it can be applied to others.

Interesting observation.
I think it has a lot to do with which regions of the brain are damaged and to what degree.
