Astounding!
And heart-warming too. Check out this story:

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Ten years after a firefighter was left brain-damaged
and mostly mute during a 1995 roof collapse, he did something that shocked his
family and doctors: He perked up.

“I want to talk to my wife,” Donald Herbert said out of the blue Saturday. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone.

It was the first of many conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his wife, four sons and other family and friends during a 14-hour stretch, Herbert’s uncle, Simon Manka said.

“How long have I been away?” Herbert asked.

“We told him almost 10 years,” the uncle said. “He thought it was only three months.”


Wow. Just wow!

Read the rest.
