A woman who went into a vegetative state in November of 2000 awoke this week for three days, spoke with her family and a local television station before slipping back on Wednesday. I'm fine, Christa Lilly told her mother on Sunday — her first words in eight months. She has awakened four other times for briefer periods.
I think it's wonderful. It makes me so happy, Lilly told television station KKTV-TV. She also got to see youngest daughter, Chelcey, now 12 years old, and three grandchildren.
Her neurologist, Dr. Randall Bjork, said he couldn't explain how or why she awoke.
I'm just not able to explain this on the basis of what we know about persistent vegetative states, he said.
A vegatative state is much like a coma except her eyes remain open.
The good Lord let me know she's alright, he brings her back to visit every so often and I'm thankful for that, said Minnie Smith, her mother and caregiver after Christa slipped back into the vegetative state.
