After being in "coma" for 23 years, Rom Huben was discovered to be conscious but immobile. New technology allowed doctors to ferret out his true condition.
I can't begin to imagine what this must have been like. Twenty-three years of immobility! No way to communicate. Perhaps the only thing worse would be undergoing surgery while still conscious, or being buried alive.
Pray for him, please.
did you read the comments to that article?
