After 10 Years, Donald Herbert is Back

During a house fire in December of 1995, firefighter Donald Herbert was buried in a collapse. He went without air for several minutes, and emerged from the fire brain damaged and in a coma. The coman lasted for two and a half months. Afterward, the brain damage kept him blind, with no awareness of his surroundings, and unable to communicate. For almost 10 years, he was in this state. Saturday, Donald Herbert suddenly said, “I want to talk to my wife.” What followed was a 14 hour conversation with his wife, four sons, family and friends.
Donald Herbert is back. Good thing his wife wasn’t trying to get rid of him, like Michael Schiavo did with his wife. How many people argued strongly that Terri Schiavo had to die? Good thing they didn’t know about Donald Herbert.
Hat tip to Decision ’08 on this one.

Hi,
Just checking out your site. My cousin is Olas Manns from up in Michigan. He told me he had this Christian friend from the south and I needed to check out his blog site and his wifes t-shirt site. So I am! God bless and have a great day.

well, it was only a matter of time before someone linked this to the whole Schiavo fiasco. No doubt we’ll all be suffering (fire away) through a lot of more of that.
