Juan Torres: A vegetative patient's shocking recovery 

Your story made me tear up! You're a beautiful soul and he was very lucky to have you to reach out to him and believe he was still aware. You're an angel

Rachel Johnson: I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to work with the young man and then blessing me to be able to see and witness first hand the fruits of my efforts. Thank you so much for your encouraging words.

Julie Ramos: Keep doing what you are doing and give him the chance that he deserves. Keep watching for any clinical signs and any response you can get from him. He needs to know that you haven’t given up on him and you will be right there for him when he is able to respond more directly. Tears are a language that God understands. Always Remember: As long as there’s God; There’s Hope...

@Julie Ramos Julie no pares de orar día y noche. Orad sin cesar. Santiago 5 :15 la oración de Fe sanara al enfermo el Señor lo levantara y si hubiese pecado le serán perdonados. Así está mi hijo por 2 meses y ya me habla atravez de los ojos poco a poco esta despertando. Pero sun Fe es imposible agradar s Dios. No paren de orar yo también lo haré por tu hijito. BENDICIONES 🙏🙏

@Julie Ramos julie como esta tu hijito?estamos orando por el en cadena de oracion, cual es su nombre? Yo pido por el hijito de Julie Ramos, si me puedes mandar su nombre. Orad unos por otros dice la Biblia. El Señor lo despertará ya veras. Espera pacientemente en Jehová se inclinará a ti y escuchara tu ruego Salmos 40.🙏🙏Bendiciones porfavor sigue orando por mi hijo Christopher. Gracias

I may be late but I certainly will put ur dad Peter on my prayer list. And you and family along with him! God is great!! But everything he does is in his time ,not ours.ok? God bless abundantly!!

How's your dad? You may try this, go to your father and tell him exactly what I am telling you here, tell him these words, do this daily. Just give this a try, you all who have relatives or friends that go through this problem, you all can use this! It's true, it's not some imagination, it's true. Father, everything that we are, comes from within ourselves, everything that we feel happens within, in spite of the idea that we need things or certain events to happen in order for us to be happy, happiness happens within ourselves and so sadness and peace and all the human emotions. All that we experience on this Earth, we experience within ourselves, life does not shape who we are, we shape our own self from within us. Father, who are we? Are we are our emotions? They come and go and yet we are still here. Are we our thoughts? They come and go and yet we are still here. Are we our experiences? They come and go and yet we are still here. Are we our personalities? We are always changing, yet we are still here. Father, who are we? All things come and go and yet we are still here, then who are we, father? Father, we are the silence when the noise of mind is no more, this silence is always there, always seeing, always witnessing. We are the ever-present Witness that sees it all. Father, everything that we think we are, we only think it, if the mind is silent and there are no thoughts, we are still here. Father, everything that we think we are, we only think it, we are beyond thoughts, beyond our thinking, we are the ever-present Witness that sees it all. Father, set everything aside, clear you mind, let the silence take over you, stay in this silence. Father, you are now at the core of who you are, your inner most being, the place from which everything that you are comes alive. Father, this is the essence of who you are, the spark of light that gives birth to all that you are. Father, this is the I AM state, this is the ever-present Witness that sees it all. Father, you are this ever present Witness, you are not your thoughts, your experiences, this body of yours, your are not your situation, you are not your emotions, you are the Silence. Father, now that you know you are more than everything you ever thought you are, so much more, come back to us Father, you can do this, you are the very essence of who you ever thought you are, the spark of life. You give life to your body. Come to us, Father. I AM, your inner most being is waking you, I AM, your inner most being is calling you, I AM, your inner most being, is here, I AM is YOU. Father, now I go and leave you in Peace, listen to my words and let this Peace take over you, let this Peace be all that's in your mind, stay in this Peace and while being in this Peace, come back to us.

Praying for your father for healing in Jesus’s name! Amen!🙏

prayers for your father

How do you think a stranger thinking about your dad will help him? I mean direcly help him? Obviously I wish your dad can recover fully. For your sake mostly. I hope he's content as he is.

Thank you for being a nurse. My story is quite different but if it hadn't been for my ( Nurse ❤ ) I wouldn't be here. Blessings to you and your family. I believe NURSES are ANGELS.

Thank you Linda

Aw that’s so sweet of you. I got so much respect for nurses and doctors like you. 💖

Bless your heart. Love from Boston

You are a saint!

Maria Howells he's improving slowly. We still have a long way to go

Purposeful Love god bless ❤️

Purposeful Love Please stay positive and hopeful. Your cousin's brain is healing itself. 💗

Godbless

Lol

That made my day

How is your brother doing now? Hope all is well with you and your family.

Brandon Lucas my love hows your brother doing ?

😂💜💜🙌

😂❤️👏🏼

Exactly.

Hallelujah!!!

That's what Christopher Reeves said. It the best way to think ... stay positive ... but know that this is more unlikely than likely. This is a "miracle", which only meant that it's a one in a million experience that we don't understand.

There are people with 'Locked in Syndrome' who live that nightmare 😭😭😭

Very horrific.

That's a miracle. Hope she is doing very well

Yay!!!!!!

Brain dead!? And she recovered? Did they know why or how the brain rebooted? That’s amazing. So happy for you.

@@SereneExpanse , that what we need to know, how was she "rebooted?" So much that we don't know and not always be answered logically.

Darci Jones: Darci Jones: Praise The Lord I am so glad you shared that story. I posted a couple comments you may want to read. I have witnessed this over and over again in my 35 year career of working medical trauma ER and ICU. My comments support the same condition you described with your friend’s sister. Medical Science and Medical Professionals can’t explain it unless of course they recognize and acknowledge the Power of Prayer and Faith. Thank you so much again for sharing this blessing. AllforKJ

I will pray for your mother- blessings on to your family

I pray that Allah swt heals your mother to better than her normal health and that you and your mom live your lives with peace and happiness.

1 year later hows mom doing????

🙏🙏🙏

How’s your mother doing?

What's his full name, I will pray!

🙏🏼

❤️

I'm so sorry about your brother. Don't give up HOPE. BLESSINGS to you and your family. Love & prayers sent from R.I.

God knows where yr brother is ..ask Jesus to go there and wake him..blessings

It really make you think Wright? The doctor tell you he doesn’t understand anything, but in reality they don’t know for sure. I find that scary. Because as you said, how do we know the difference?

I have always thought about this - Some patients have woken up after being in a PVS for years & years.

My mother-in-law. I saw a tear run down her face, when I was talking to her. The nurse said that sometimes that happens, but there is no way she can hear. I knew this could not be true. They pressured my father-in-law to pull the vent, and she died a day later.

@@beverlycrowell_ that is so sad .

@@yvonnemitchell1744 It is. Thank you.

Marie you are perfectly right! It’s up to the person, the bible clearly says “as a man thinks, so is he” This young man THINKS he’s going to be as he was, and so he Will! Can’t wait to see an update :) Praise the Lord!

I had a patient in the ICU that I took care of every shift for 6.5 weeks who eventually was moved out to a rehab program. She was not a head injury but had hepatic encephalopathy that didn't resolve within a "normal" timeframe. She had normal scans, normal everything. No explanation for her coma. Almost two years later a young woman approached me at the mall, asked if my name was LeeAnn, I told her it was. She threw herself into my arms, said she recognized my voice and thanked me for taking the time to talk to her "while I was away from my body." They hear us. It's that simple.

Thanks to these caregivers who continue treating their patients with respect and dignity!

People like you make the world a better place. Thank you so much

You my dear are just where u are supposed to be. God Bless You

Unfortunately in America, some people have no choice because of the outrages hospital bills that start to pile up, with or without insurance

Imagine they actually hear and see you, you know youre going to die, you hear your parents cry and you can do NOTHING. Has to be the WORST feeling imaginable

Ikr. Life is sacred. Too precious to just declare done and over with.

Thank you!!!! My mom is in a coma. They said the miracle would be vegetative state if she comes out of it. My sister wants to pull the plug and I don’t feel God telling me to do that

@@pop3690 that just shows how corrupt this world is. People value money over human lives.

That's exactly how I'm feeling this vid gives me hope

I watched this after seeing what happened to him :( it’s so sad but I feel like he will come back

Exactly why I came to this video I was just searching if is it any hope

What you can do is try to read their minds/wishes when they look at you and communicate them verbally. Make them feel like you understand.

God bless

I don't get it, why do people ask to pray for them to the God that injured them in the first place? Hey God, can you please change your mind and heal the kid that you decided to hurt in the first place? I mean, I feel really sorry for the parents and the kids, but to get God involved in all this is just silly. I will have my fingers crossed for his recovery though!

I'm sure you've tried everything, but in case you haven't heard... there's people waking up from similar situations from the sleeping pill ambien. There are videos on here of it. Not sure if it will help, but it's something worth sharing

I do not believe in god, so instead of praying, I shall hope for you. Perhaps I'll take up Christianity for a few minutes and pray that way. Brain damage on your own child must be utterly terrifying and I hope he recovers fully.

Tina Meler ...absolutely...he and his family are inspiring.

God did. Through faith.

Love accomplishes things which none other can. God is Love.

@@ronnetteharvey2002 Hahaha

Bull!!!!!

And also magomed abdulsalamov

I didn’t know that. I thought he was walking with help

Read the message I left on I'm khan

just read a thing saying he can now communicate using his eyes (answer yes or no questions by looking at the answer in english and spanish with an 80% accuracy) and he is even able to walk with assistance but this is new

He immediately came to my mind. I check his mom’s posts. His improvements are unbelievable!.

nikki _ I hate that feeling.

That's what I was thinking. Must be so frustrating for all those poor ppl in that state! :(

Its peaceful

I can't believe how terrifying that must be. I have had sleep paralysis and I can't imagine being fully awake and unable to communicate.

Theres a book (and a movie) about a man who had the locked-in syndrome and he said after a while he was not suffering anymore because he was able to imagine everything he wanted and it becamed "real". He typed his autobiography while paralysed with the help of a nurse. The title is "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly".

Mine did!!

@@free4gamersxbox195 I'm so sorry!

My 10 yr old Granddaughter had a severe asthma attack and it took a long time for them to get a heartbeat back. I begged her mother not to give up on her quickly. Less than 3 days later, she signed the papers to discontinue life support. She had moved her arm twice, but they convinced her that she wasn't coming back. I'll never forgive her for giving up and at least wait a week. She passed 12/31/20.

Not all mothers.

Hey ! Did she get consciousness? My mother is in this state , would be helpful if you share your story

OH GOD

Yup. Now let that sink in

@@spencespicoli9276 So that one should die because the other 99,999 won't make it? That's ok with you? You have no qualms over killing someone off huh? I bet you wouldn't want someone to have that attitude about your child.

Very well said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yes they are alive. We live in a society that doesn’t like to look at “less than perfect” and we try to shut it down. That is very very troubling. I’ll take hope over death any day

Exactly!

He was. That doesn't mean everyone is.

How is your uncle now?

@GadgetsNoobOfficial how is your uncle?

@@tdgarza2000 he is still in vegetative state 😭

Please remember him in your prayers 🤲🏻

goldenkingstoys how is your son doing sir?

Akın Özer still rehab we are hoping and praying he can come home in december not yet awake but can now finally breathe on his own

goldenkingstoys ask the hospital to bring in an eye gaze communication system or have an outside entity evaluate him for one.

Gods Speed

Talk to him and he will become fully conscious

Not just left to die, but to have the doctors plan on the time and date of their death and then have their organs removed and given to another human being as if their life meant nothing.

@@msmegification Yep. And have your unused or unsold body parts given to pigs and zoo animals. So horrible.

That gives me so much hope. My son (22) has been in a minimally conscious state since August 27th. He has survived the unbelievable. His AVM was devastating. He was not supposed to survive but he did. He has started to smile, and started to mouth and say one to two-word sentences. We still have hope, but many times so discouraged. Stories like the above are so uplifting. Does anyone know of a support group online?

Amen!

Or his brain just repaired itself.

@@morganfreeman5972 much more realist. I dont see any link between what happened here and the existence of a soul independant from our bodies tbh.

Proves nothing.

so much hate from everyone 😂

Tommy Wilson If your brother can move his eyes, ask the hospital to bring in an eye gaze communication system or have an outside entity evaluate him for one.

🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤

It’s a very difficult tragedy but when someone is in a vegetative state for 7 years it really does change the circumstances. Because even if he were to wake up after all those years he would’ve been extremely mentally delayed and have severe brain damage. Sorry if this is stepping out of line because I definitely do not know the situation like you do. But keeping someone on life support for that long puts a lot of emotional toll on the family and especially someone like his own wife. I’m sure she wanted to be free from the pain and reminder of what used to be. However this is why everyday with medical improvement things like these may get better, maybe the technology will allow us to truly know if they are conscious or if they can wake up sooner rather than later when the damage is too great. I hope that you’re doing well and your family too

I’m sure he understands in the other world . She did what she had to do for as long as she could .

Yes

Babyy Honeyy Yes 🙏🏾

I swear I looked up this video with Prichard in mind. I wish the same thing for him. Fight Prichard ❤

I thought exactly the same! ❤

Wasn't he awake and recovering already?

you're just as strong as her!! know that, queen, and don't forget it

Exactly, my mom and i doing exactly that. The doctor told us it's basically no hope for my dad. He's in a vegatated state going on 38 days now. We want him to fight for his life fairly and not make that decision for him. And we know doctors don't know what they talking about all the time. They suppose to help save lives not tell who live and who die, who life worth it and who life ain't.

@@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149 🙏 for your dad.

Too many.

I really want to know why the news meant he ended up in ICU as well please?

This sort of thing should NEVER be discussed in front of the patient, whatever state they are thought to be in.

It's just so awful to think how many knew that they gave up and just switched them off. God bless their souls all who have been switched off and couldn't tell them.
