Vegitative Coma

 * By: Emma**

Christie Lilly: Heart-attack in November of 2000 In a persistent vegitative state for 6 years. Neurologists can't explain why she slips in and out of her coma.
 * Awoke for three days
 * Moved around
 * Talking
 * 5th time she woke up

Lilly's mother: "How're you doing?" Christie: "Fine." It was then that they knew she was awake because she responded to the question.

Kate Adamson: Paralyzed but not Powerless In a coma for 70 days and was diagnosed as being in a persistent vegitative state.
 * Doctors pulled her feeding tube and she lay in the hospital dying for 8 days
 * She woke up from her coma and now protests the Terri Shaivo "killing"
 * Completely aware of everything going on while in her state
