Former College Football Star, Darryl Perry, Dies a 07-12-2007 08:34 |
In a story recently publicized by much of the media, former Univeristy of Florida fullback, Darryl Perry, experienced what some doctors call a "sudden cardiac arrest" on March 15, 2007 and was pronounced dead by medical personnel on the scene.
He was taken away to a hospital and put on a respirator where medical personnel say that Mr. Perry's brain activity was nonexistent for a full seven minutes.
He was put on the respirator for three more weeks, and doctors told his wife to pull the plug on him because he would live the rest of his life in a vegetative state. But Darryl's wife, Nicky, never gave up on him and tenacioulsy held on to her belief that her husband and the father of their three children would pull through and survive.
Her dedication paid off - after three weeks of being in a coma, Darryl Perry woke up. According to various media reports, his health is apparently improving every day.
This is a great story and a testament to Darryl's wife, Nicky - who never gave up. |
