The remarkable story of a fireman who miraculously came out of a
coma for one full day
On a brutally cold December day, Donny Herbert, a hardworking
firefighter from Buffalo, New York, was searching the attic of a
burning house. The roof, heavy with snow, suddenly collapsed, and
for six minutes he was without oxygen. Donny--a beloved husband, a
father of four boys, and a neighborhood fixture who was always
willing to lend a helping hand--fell into a vegetative state that
lasted nearly a decade. His prognosis was poor, and while he could
open his eyes, he was unresponsive to the world around him. Donny
Herbert was, for all practical purposes, gone. Until one day, in
April 2005, when he woke up and spoke almost nonstop to his family
and loved ones for nearly sixteen hours.
"The Day Donny Herbert Woke Up" is the story of this unforgettable
time, which was covered by the press worldwide. After his
extraordinary day, Donny fell into a deep sleep and never
experienced a comparable moment of clarity. He died of pneumonia in
February 2006.
For his doctors and nurses, it is a medical mystery. For his wife,
Linda, who had held the family together for years, who had prayed
nightly for Donny's recovery, no explanation is needed: prayer and
love brought Donny back to her one last time. "The Day Donny
Herbert Woke Up" is as much Linda's story--one of perseverance and
faith--as it is of an exceptional husband, father, and firefighter.
