Awakenings: Return To Life, 1995-2005 ( CBS News.Com, 2007 )

Some Minimally Conscious People Are Actually Re-Awakening Thanks To Drug Therapies
2007Nov 21
CBSNews                   
This segment was originally broadcast on Nov. 25, 2007. It was updated on Aug. 28, 2008.

Three years ago, Terri Schiavo sparked a nationwide debate when she was removed from a feeding tube. Schiavo was in a permanent vegetative state with no chance of recovery. But there are as many as 300,000 other Americans who have survived brain injuries, only to be trapped in what's called a "minimally conscious state." They can't talk, walk, or eat, but they retain more mental awareness than vegetative patients.

For decades now, minimally conscious people have been all but written off by the medical establishment, warehoused in nursing homes, with little hope of recovery. But as CNN'sAnderson Cooper first reported last fall, incredible new discoveries are changing the way doctors view these people. 

It turns out some may have been misdiagnosed and may be more aware than previously thought. What's even more surprising is that after receiving the popular sleeping pill Ambien, some minimally conscious people are actually waking up. 

Don Herbert was a firefighter in Buffalo, N.Y. On Dec. 29, 1995, he was battling a house fire when the building's roof collapsed. Don was trapped under a pile of debris and nearly suffocated. A local news camera captured firefighters pulling Don from an attic window. By the time his wife Linda and four sons reached the hospital, Don was already in a coma. 

"I remember pleading and begging with him in the hospital when he was unresponsive just, 'Don't leave me, don't leave the kids, you know. We need you, you know. We need you,'" Linda Herbert recalls.

"You'd try to get him to squeeze your hand or move a toe, or something like that it's just, we were looking for just about anything," Don and Linda's son, Don Jr. remembers.

Don Herbert did regain consciousness, but a few months later slipped into a minimally conscious state. He could respond to some stimuli but was unable to communicate. Moved to a nursing home, he was kept alive by a feeding tube.

"I took him to one neurologist. And I was basically begging him, you know, to tell me, 'Is he gonna get better, or isn't he?'" Linda remembers. "And he just sort of said, 'Well, look at him. What do you see? You see what I see, there's nothing there.' And I was just devastated."

While Don languished in the nursing home, years passed and his four boys grew into men. Determined to keep their father in their lives, Linda brought Don to birthdays and holidays, but says he sat slumped in his wheelchair, unaware of his surroundings.

What was it like for the sons to see their father in this state?

"You'd think after ten years of seeing him hooked up to feeding tubes and different machines that you'd sort of get used to it or something. But here, I really never did," Don Jr. explains.

"Yeah. It made me sick to my stomach to go every, you know. I didn't go that often 'cause I just couldn't stand seeing him like that," Tom says.

Then one day, two years ago, the nursing home called with shocking news: Don had woken up and was asking for his family.

One of the nurses lent the Herberts a video camera to record Don's incredible awakening. His first words were a struggle -- he hadn't spoken in nearly a decade.

Family members and buddies from the firehouse rushed to Don's room. Blinded in the accident, Don recognized everyone by their voice -- everyone that is, except his youngest son Nick, who was just four when his dad was injured.


"Did he understand who you were?" Cooper asks Nick.

"He still thought that I was real young. And he went to -- like, put his hand out over me and to see, like, how tall I was," Nick says. "We just kept telling him to raise his hand higher, 'cause he was trying to feel for me down low."

"When he learns that he has been gone for ten years, he seems heartsick about it," Cooper remarks. "The sadness is palpable."

"He felt so bad," Linda says. "He thought, like, he abandoned us. He felt so bad that he wasn't there for the boys."


Don Herbert's reunion with his family was brief. While trying to get out of bed, he fell and suffered another brain injury. He later contracted pneumonia, and less than a year after he woke up, Don Herbert died. 

Don's awakening was celebrated as a miracle, and a family member has written a book about it. But Dr. Nicholas Schiff, a neurologist at Weill Cornell Medical Center, says though rare, he's seen other startling recoveries and believes Don Herbert's story should be a wake-up call for doctors.

"When I went to medical school, like 20 years ago, there were very various kind of one-liners you get in medical school about, you know, ways of understanding a problem. And the one liner you'd get about brain injury was, 'Damage done,'" Dr. Schiff says. "What's done is done. Structural brain injury is unchanging."

"So with patients in minimally conscious state, it's not true to say, 'What's done is done?'" Cooper asks.

"I think we know enough now to know that there are some minimally conscious state patients where that statement is false," Schiff says.

Dr. Schiff believes Don's awakening may have been triggered by a Parkinson's drug his doctor gave him.

What's even more remarkable is that another drug has recently been shown to have similar effects on some minimally conscious people. The case of George Melendez is perhaps the most dramatic of all. George suffered a brain injury when he crashed his car into a pond and nearly drowned. Weeks after the accident doctors told his mother, Pat Flores, her son would never get better.

"What you see lying there in the bed is as good as it gets," Pat remembers of the diagnosis for her son. "That's as good as it gets. He's never gonna be able to do anything. He is a vegetable."

George was in a minimally conscious state, but for years Pat was determined to reach him. She cared for him at home, while searching for new treatments.

Pat believes George was always there, just unable to communicate.

One night in 2002, unable to sleep because of his moaning, Pat gave George Ambien, a common sleeping pill used by millions of people.

"I noticed the room got quiet and in my mind, I'm thinking, 'Wow, that pill's really good. It really knocked him out.' And when I looked over, instead of seeing a sleeping George, I saw a very much awake George with his eyes wide open and just scanning the room and looking," Pat remembers.

For the first time in five years, Pat heard her son speak.

The next day, sensing she was on the verge of a breakthrough, Pat gave George another dose of Ambien through his feeding tube. George's step-father taped the transformation.

Within six minutes, George went from being unresponsive -- moaning and shaking -- to quiet, alert and answering questions.

Asked what kind of questions she asked her son, Pat says, "If he knew where he was at. If he knew what had happened to him. If he was in pain."

George told her he wasn't in pain. "He said no clearly, which that was a big relief," she recalls.

Pat doesn't know why the Ambien works, but she's been giving it to George every day now for the last five years.

60 Minutes helped arrange for George to see Dr. Schiff of Cornell. He performed exams to see if George's reaction to Ambien is real or just his mother's wishful thinking.

First, Dr. Schiff did a PET scan of George's brain off Ambien. The frontal lobe, the area responsible for behavior and language, was yellow, indicating greatly reduced brain activity.

The next day, after he was given Ambien, George was put back in the scanner. The frontal lobe, seen earlier in yellow, was now bright red.

"So we've just learned something here. Today's scan looks like it's about two or three times as intense, metabolically," Dr. Schiff observed. "That's like a big deal. His brain is turned on, with this stuff."

Asked if he has seen Ambien work on other patients, Dr. Schiff tells Cooper. "I have. And about a year and a half ago, I would've said, no. … And now, I've seen at least three cases."

"And do you think there are more people out there who could benefit?" Cooper asks.

"I think you're gonna find a subset of patients who respond to it," Schiff says.

Other Ambien "awakenings" have been reported around the world, and the medical community is taking notice.

There are several clinical trials of Ambien underway, but progress is slow, in part because minimally conscious people are scattered around the country in homes and nursing facilities, often far from research centers.

Another obstacle to treating these people is that they're frequently misdiagnosed -- said to be in a vegetative state, a more severe condition, considered hopeless after the first year.

"There have been some recent studies looking to see what the misdiagnosis rate was and they come up with a number of 40 percent," Dr. Schiff says.

"So the number of patients who are said to be in a vegetative state, who may actually be in a minimally conscious state, could be as high as 40 percent, 20, 30, 40 percent?" Cooper asks.

"In some context," Schiff says.

Why were people misdiagnosed? 

Says Schiff, "You have to examine them repeatedly and at different times of the day, and sometimes just changing a patient's posture, or giving them a tendon massage, may change their level sufficiently to elicit some response. So yeah, this is an evolving area of understanding."

Dr. Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist from the Medical Research Council in Cambridge, England, thinks new technology may help diagnose these people earlier and more accurately than a bedside exam.

Last year, he stunned the scientific world when he discovered that a woman who met the diagnostic criteria for being vegetative could actually respond to a command with her mind. To illustrate his study, Owen did a functional MRI scan of Cooper's brain to show how it activates when he imagines playing tennis.

"Imagine you're on the center court at Wimbledon hitting that ball left hand, right hand -- forehand, backhand, whatever," Owen instructed.

Within minutes, the computer rendered a three-dimensional image of Cooper's brain.

"This region across here is known as the motor cortex, this area has turned on in response to you imagining moving your arm," Owen observed. "I can show you what happened in our patient who'd been diagnosed as vegetative. The motor cortex is almost in exactly the same place as in your brain, and it activates in almost exactly the same way, when she imagines playing tennis."

"What was that moment like, when you realized, 'Wait a minute. She's actually responding to what I'm saying. She's in there?'" Cooper asks.

"It was an absolutely stunning moment. Because we had no way of knowing beforehand that not only was she not vegetative, she was entirely consciously aware," Owen says.

"Someone like Terri Schiavo would not have had brain activity that would have shown up in a functional MRI?" Cooper asks.

"No. There are many differences between a patient like Terri Schiavo and the patient that we scanned. The first thing is the type of brain damage," Owen says.

As for George Melendez, Dr. Schiff says he's progressed so much he's no longer minimally conscious, but severely disabled. Pat has increased George's Ambien dosage and is hopeful her son will continue to improve. But she remains a realist.

"I'm not gonna get the old George back. I'm not that naïve and that much in denial, to think that I'm gonna get 100 percent of who George was at one time," Pat says. "But hopefully, it will be a George that will be able to live on his own and have a productive life."

"That's what you want?" Cooper asks.

"Yes," Pat replies.

Asked if she thinks that's very possible, Pat tells Cooper, "It's possible."

Our Lady's Message of June 2, 2015, May 29, 2015, Medjugorje, ( medjugorje.com, Messages de Medjugorje )


Latest Medjugorje Message, June 2, 2015 [O] - Apparitions to Mirjana. Mirjana during an apparition.
“Dear children, I desire to work through you – my children, my apostles – so that in the end, I may gather all of my children there where everything is prepared for your happiness. I am praying for you, that through works you can convert others, because the time has come for acts of truth, for my Son. My love will work in you – I will make use of you. Have trust in me, because everything that I desire, I desire for your good, the eternal good created by the Heavenly Father. You, my children, my apostles, are living an earthly life in union with my children who have not come to know the love of my Son, who do not call me ‘mother’ – but do not be afraid to witness the truth. If you are not afraid and witness courageously, the truth will miraculously win, but remember, strength is in love. My children, love is repentance, forgiveness, prayer, sacrifice and mercy. If you will know how to love, by your works you will convert others, you will enable the light of my Son to penetrate into souls. Thank you. Pray for your shepherds. They belong to my Son. He called them. Pray that they may always have the strength and the courage to shine with the light of my Son. ”

 Messaggio del 2 Giugno 2015 a Mirjana , Međugorje
"Cari figli, desidero operare per mezzo di voi, Miei figli, Miei apostoli, affinché alla fine possa radunare tutti i miei figli là dove tutto è preparato per la vostra felicità. Prego per voi, affinché con le opere possiate convertire, perché è arrivato il tempo per le opere della verità, per Mio Figlio. Il Mio Amore opererà in voi, Mi servirò di voi. Abbiate fiducia in Me, perché tutto quello che desidero, lo desidero per il vostro bene, l’Eterno bene, creato per mezzo del Padre Celeste. Voi, figli Miei, apostoli Miei, vivete la vita terrena in comunità con i miei figli che non hanno conosciuto l’Amore di Mio Figlio, coloro i quali non mi chiamano Madre. Non abbiate però paura a testimoniare la Verità, perché se voi non avete paura e testimoniate con coraggio, la Verità miracolosamente vincerà. Ricordate: la forza è nell’Amore. Figli miei, l’amore è pentimento, perdono, preghiera, sacrificio e misericordia, perché se saprete amare con le opere convertirete gli altri, permetterete che la Luce di Mio Figlio penetri nelle anime. Vi ringrazio. Pregate per i vostri pastori, loro appartengono a mio Figlio. Lui li ha chiamati. Pregate affinché sempre abbiano la forza e il coraggio di brillare della luce di Mio Figlio." 
La Madonna ha benedetto tutti i presenti e tutti gli oggetti portati.

The following is the description of the apparition and Our Lady's message of May 29, 2015.[...] :

Tonight, the most important from the meeting together with Our Lady. Also tonight Our Lady came to us joyful and happy and at the beginning, as always, She greeted all of us with Her Motherly greeting, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children”. Then, for awhile, with Her arms extended, Our Lady prayed here over all of you here and She prayed especially over you who are sick present here. Then Our Lady said:
“Dear children; also today I desire to call you to pray for my shepherds in the Church. Pray, dear children, that they may accept me, that they may accept my messages, and that they live my messages – that they be carriers of my messages in this tired world. Dear children, may they, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, fortified by faith, be carriers of the New Testament and evangelization in the family. Pray, dear children, for my shepherds, and be persevering in prayer. Thank you, also today, for having responded to my call.”

Then Our Lady blessed all of us with Her Motherly blessing, and She also blessed everything you brought to be blessed. Then I recommended all of you, all of your needs, your intentions, your families and in a special way the sick. After that Our Lady continued to pray for awhile over all of you here and left in that prayer, in an illuminated Sign of the Cross, with a greeting, ‘Go in peace my dear children.’ This would be what is the most important for tonight’s meeting. Thank you.

Carissimi, ecco la versione ufficiale di quello che Ivan ha riferito riguardo all’apparizione da lui avuta stasera, venerdì 29 maggio 2015, sulla Collina delle apparizioni alle ore 22:00:
«Anche stasera la Madonna è venuta a noi gioiosa e felice e, all’inizio, ci ha salutato tutti col suo materno saluto: “Sia lodato Gesù, cari figli miei!”. Poi la Madonna ha steso le mani e ha pregato per un periodo di tempo su tutti voi, ha pregato in particolare su voi malati. Poi la Madonna ha detto:
Cari figli, anche oggi desidero invitarvi a pregare per i miei pastori nella Chiesa. Pregate, cari figli, affinché accolgano me, accolgano i miei messaggi e vivano i miei messaggi. Perché siano portatori dei miei messaggi in questo mondo stanco. Cari figli, essi, fortificati dallo Spirito Santo e dalla fede, siano portatori del Santo Vangelo ed evangelizzatori nelle famiglie! Pregate, cari figli, per i miei pastori e siate perseveranti nella preghiera. Grazie per aver risposto anche oggi alla mia chiamata”.
Poi la Madonna ci ha benedetto tutti con la sua benedizione materna e ha benedetto tutto quello che avete portato perché fosse benedetto. Poi io ho raccomandato tutti voi, le vostre necessità, le vostre intenzioni, le vostre famiglie e in modo speciale i malati. Poi la Madonna ha continuato a pregare per un periodo di tempo qui su tutti voi, e in questa preghiera se n’è andata nel segno della luce e della croce, col saluto: “Andate in pace, 
cari figli miei!”.
Ecco questo è il riassunto delle cose più importanti dell’incontro di stasera».

2 juin - Le V° Concile Œcuménique de Constantinople confirme le terme de « Theotokos » (553) 

Dans la première communauté chrétienne il devient évident que Marie est la Mère de Dieu 


Dans la première communauté chrétienne, au moment où les disciples prennent de plus en plus conscience que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, il devient évident que Marie est la Theotokos, la Mère de Dieu. (…)
Dès le IIIe siècle, selon un ancien témoignage écrit, les Chrétiens d'Egypte s'adressaient à Marie avec cette prière : « Sous ta protection nous cherchons refuge, sainte Mère de Dieu ne méprise pas nos supplications, nous qui sommes dans l'épreuve, et épargne nous tout danger, ô Vierge glorieuse et bénie ». Dans ce témoignage ancien, l'expression Theotokos, "Mère de Dieu", apparaît pour la première fois de manière explicite.
Au IVe siècle, l'expression Theotokos est désormais fréquemment utilisée en Orient et en Occident. (…) On peut donc comprendre le grand mouvement de protestation qui se créa au Ve siècle, quand Nestorius remit en question la légitimité du titre de "Mère de Dieu" (…). Le Concile d'Éphèse, en 431, condamne ses thèses et, affirmant la subsistance de la nature divine et de la nature humaine dans l'unique personne du Fils, il proclama Marie Mère de Dieu.

(Pape) Saint Jean Paul II, Audience du mercredi 27 Novembre 1996

Je vous salue, Marie pleine de grâces ; le Seigneur est avec vous. Vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes et Jésus, le fruit de vos entrailles, est béni. Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs, maintenant et à l'heure de notre mort. Amen.

Concile d'Ephèse (431). Marie, Mère de Dieu, Theotokos (Jean Paul II)

1. La contemplation du mystère de la naissance du Sauveur a conduit le peuple chrétien à se tourner vers la Vierge sainte, non seulement en tant que Mère de Jésus mais aussi à la reconnaître Mère de Dieu. Cette vérité a été approfondie et comprise comme partie intégrante du patrimoine de la foi de l'Église dès les premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, avant d'être solennellement proclamée par le Concile d'Éphèse en 431.
Dans la première communauté chrétienne, au moment où les disciples prennent de plus en plus conscience que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, il devient évident que Marie est la Theotokos, la Mère de Dieu.
C'est un titre qui n'apparaît pas explicitement dans les textes évangéliques, bien qu'on y trouve "la Mère de Jésus" et qu'on y affirme qu'Il est Dieu (Jn 20, 28 ; cf. 5,18 ; 10, 30.33). Quoi qu'il en soit, Marie est présentée comme Mère de l'Emmanuel, qui signifie " Dieu avec nous " (cf. Mt 1, 22-23).
Dès le IIIe siècle, selon un ancien témoignage écrit, les chrétiens d'Egypte s'adressaient à Marie avec cette prière :
« Sous ta protection nous cherchons refuge, sainte Mère de Dieu ne méprise pas nos supplications, nous qui sommes dans l'épreuve, et épargne nous tout danger, ô Vierge glorieuse et bénie » (Liturgie des Heures).
Dans ce témoignage ancien, l'expression Theotokos, " Mère de Dieu ", apparaît pour la première fois de manière explicite.
Dans la mythologie païenne, il arrivait souvent qu'une déesse fût présentée comme la mère d'un dieu. Zeus, par exemple, le dieu suprême, avait pour mère la déesse Rea. Ce contexte a peut-être facilité chez les chrétiens l'usage du titre " Theotokos ", " Mère de Dieu " pour la mère de Jésus. Il faut remarquer cependant que ce titre n'existait pas, mais qu'il a été créé par les chrétiens pour exprimer une foi qui n'avait rien à voir avec la mythologie païenne, la foi dans la conception virginale, dans le sein de Marie, de Celui qui était depuis toujours le Verbe éternel de Dieu.
2. Au IVe siècle, l'expression Theotokos est désormais fréquemment utilisée en Orient et en Occident. La piété et la théologie font toujours davantage référence à cette expression qui est entrée maintenant dans le patrimoine de la foi de l'Église.
On peut donc comprendre le grand mouvement de protestation qui se créa au Ve siècle, quand Nestorius remit en question la légitimité du titre de "Mère de Dieu". En effet, étant enclin à ne considérer Marie que comme Mère de l'homme Jésus, il soutenait que seule l'expression "Mère du Christ " était doctrinalement exacte. Nestorius était tombé dans cette erreur à cause de sa difficulté à reconnaître l'unité de la personne du Christ et à cause de sa fausse interprétation de la distinction entre les deux natures -divine et humaine- qui Lui sont propres.
Le Concile d'Éphèse, en 431, condamne ses thèses et, affirmant la subsistance de la nature divine et de la nature humaine dans l'unique personne du Fils, il proclama Marie Mère de Dieu.
3. Les difficultés et les objections de Nestorius nous donnent une bonne occasion de réfléchir pour comprendre et interpréter correctement ce titre. L'expression Theotokos, qui signifie littéralement "celle qui a engendré Dieu", peut surprendre à première vue ; en effet, on peut se poser la question de savoir comment une créature humaine engendre Dieu.
La réponse de la foi de l'Église est claire : la maternité divine de Marie se réfère uniquement à la génération humaine du Fils de Dieu et non, à l'inverse, à sa génération divine. Le Fils de Dieu a été, depuis toujours, engendré par Dieu le Père et il lui est consubstantiel. Dans cette génération éternelle, Marie n'a évidemment aucun rôle.
Cependant, le Fils de Dieu, il y a 2000 ans, a pris notre nature humaine et il a été alors conçu et enfanté par Marie.
En proclamant Marie "Mère de Dieu", l'Église veut, ainsi, affirmer qu'elle est la "Mère du Verbe incarné, qui est Dieu". Sa maternité, pourtant, ne concerne pas toute la Trinité, mais uniquement la seconde Personne, le Fils qui, en s'incarnant, a pris d'elle la nature humaine.
La maternité est une relation de personne à personne : une mère n'est pas seulement mère du corps ou de la créature physique sortie de son sein, mais de la personne qu'elle enfante. Marie, ayant donc engendré selon la nature humaine la personne de Jésus, qui est une personne divine, est Mère de Dieu.
4. En proclamant Marie "Mère de Dieu", l'Église professe dans une même expression sa foi au sujet du Fils et de la Mère. Cette union apparaît déjà au Concile d'Ephèse ; avec la définition de la maternité divine de Marie, les Pères ont voulu mettre en évidence leur foi en la divinité du Christ.
Malgré les objections, anciennes et récentes, sur l'opportunité de reconnaître à Marie ce titre, les chrétiens de tous les temps, en interprétant correctement la signification de cette maternité, en ont fait une expression privilégiée de leur foi en la divinité du Christ et de leur amour pour la Vierge.
Dans la Theotokos, l'Église reconnaît,
-d'une part, la garantie de la réalité de l'Incarnation, car, comme l'affirme saint Augustin "Si la maternité n'est pas réelle, la chair n'est pas réelle non plus... ni les plaies lors de la Résurrection" (Tract. in Ev. bannis, 8, 6-7).
-D'autre part, elle contemple avec étonnement et elle célèbre avec vénération l'immense grandeur que confère à Marie Celui qui a voulu être son fils. L'expression "Mère de Dieu" s'adresse au Verbe de Dieu, qui, par l'Incarnation, a accepté l'humilité de la condition humaine pour élever l'homme à la filiation divine. Mais ce titre, à la lumière de la sublime dignité conférée à la Vierge de Nazareth, proclame cependant la noblesse de la femme et sa très haute vocation. En effet, Dieu considère Marie comme une personne libre et responsable et il ne réalise pas l'Incarnation de son Fils sans avoir obtenu au préalable son consentement.
Suivant l'exemple des premiers chrétiens de l'Égypte, les fidèles se confient à Celle qui, étant Mère de Dieu, peut obtenir de son divin Fils d'être libérés des dangers et d'accéder au salut éternel.
Jean-Paul II,
