Description

The tragedy began back in the late 1980s. A healthy young man with a promising future was involved in a devastating road accident that changed his life forever. Suffering from severe brain damage and facing a near-death situation, Christopher went into a deep coma.

The medical prognoses were discouraging and Christopher's chances to live were very slim. Despite little hope of any possible recovery, we - Christopher's family - tried every possible means to produce a reaction, desperately looking for a response, a sign of consciousness. After four years of intensive sensory stimulation while in a coma, Christopher's eyes opened for the first time.

When he began to emerge from the coma and started to respond to external stimuli, we found hope again. In the course of time, he was able to move his arms and legs, and reach for objects. Before long we were able to remove his nasal tube and began feeding him by mouth. Christopher recovered to a point where he has gained full consciousness and has limited motor capacities. He is able to read and comprehend what he hears. However, he lost his ability to speak.
