Julie,

Kate Adamson appeared with her husband, who told how he fought for his wife's care. She is beautiful and articulate in spite of the fact she apparently is paralyzed on one side from the stroke. She told how they removed her feeding tube also, I believe it was for 8 days ... and said she felt EVERYTHING and it was excruciating. She said she knew, heard, and felt everything around her and being done to her. She was trapped in her body and could not talk or express what she knew and felt ... her description sounds a lot like Terri's. Her book is called Kate's Journey...Not sure of any other details right now ... except they labeled her as persistent vegetative! She has recovered greatly, obviously, and is very much alive and well! >>

<< Before her stroke in June of 1995, Kate Adamson was a mother, a wife, an athlete, and a person deeply attached to her community. She still fulfills all these roles, yet she does so without the use of the left side of her body. She suffered a double brain stem ponds stroke, which left her totally paralyzed -- unable to even blink.

"I spent 50 days in the ICU after my stroke, suffering from 'locked-in' syndrome." Kate was conscious and able to feel everything, but was unable to move any part of her body. She was literally trapped in her own body. "Miraculously, I lived and overcame the locked-in syndrome." Once she left the ICU, Kate began the road to recovery with countless hours of physical therapy. "Physical therapy has advanced to its present state due to funds provided in part by the government." She told her story to Congress in April 1997, asking for research funds for heart disease and stroke.

Kate doesn't speak of, or, elaborate on, the physical pain she endured, but considers that time "transitory." Today, Kate has two daughters, is a motivational speaker, has written a book, and is a volunteer for the American Heart and Stroke Association. >>

Oh the difference it made for Kate to have all that therapy, as painfully slow as it was for her to recover, she DID recover and has been able to tell her story. I hope Bill O'Reilly doesn't let this drop!
