Beating the Odds and a Miraculous Recovery
Five weeks after a severe brain injury from a car crash, 16 year old Matthew Johnson defied doctors by leaving a coma and starting to return to normal life. He opened his eyes, squeezed his mother's hand, spoke, and asks for food as he recovers in University Hospital. His mother Alma Johnson says the family thought they had lost him but Matthew continues to improve, though lingering changes from the injury remain. He was in a life threatening coma with a 4 on the coma scale and flown to the hospital after the accident near his home in Tully.|
