Sam Schmid (21 years), a student at Arizona car accident some time ago so it fell into a coma due to brain stem death. Over the last few days of life with the tools of life, doctors estimate had no hope at all.
On the outside, this man suffered a severe injury that is cracked and broken bones in his body. However, the most severe, severe brain bleeding and swelling of an aneurysm or blood vessels in almost all parts of the brain that trigger a stroke.
After undergoing surgery to address an aneurysm, Sam, who was also a skier and coach basket this condition did not improve. He remains a coma so doctors began to despair and to contact parents at Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix.
"In some point, I knew I had to make decisions and keep praying," said Sam's mother, Susan Regan is one of the decision is to agree to his son registered as organ donors, as quoted by ABC News, Friday (23/12/2011).
When the family and other doctors were preparing for the worst and plan to release a tool life, a doctor asks rescan for the last time. This doctor is Dr. Robert Spletzler, a neurosurgeon.
In the last scan, Dr. Spletzler found some unexpected progress. He no longer finds blockages of blood vessels in the brain and create a new conclusion that current conditions are still promising chance of healing.
The decision to delay the release of Dr. Spletzler tool life really be a miracle for Sam. Within 7 days after the scan, the doctor's orders he responded by moving two fingers. A small improvement, but change everything.
Can not imagine if that time the doctor actually remove the tools that make Sam's life remains alive today. If it was so done may kidneys, lungs and heart Sam had scattered because donated to others.
"I myself saw a very strange, suddenly I feel stupid to see progress so rapidly in a short time," said Dr. Spletzler who also said that at this time Sam had started to learn to speak and move his limbs to another.
