A man collapsed outside his vehicle. Mr. Lee’s approximate height, 6'3, 218 lbs. A Highway Patrol Officer was on the scene when EMS (Emergency Medical Services) arrived, his complaint, “ the worse headache I ever had.”

Suddenly a severe thunderclap peaked inside his head. Then nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, seizures, confusion, numbness, a stiff neck and loss of consciousness — COMA

The person is alive but cannot be awakened. A ruptured aneurysm caused bleeding in the space around the brain. A coma is a deep state of prolonged unconsciousness.

Memories he lost; three marriages with children. Alice, his second ex-wife wanted the father of her son back in her life. Her family and friends believed she had divorced Lee, but she said “documents were never filed with the court.”

“He has been in a coma for two days.” The Nurse whispered as she opened the door to the patient’s room. DOT (Department of Transportation) contacted his wife. The hospital record, listed the wife as the person who completed admmission forms.

Alice sat with her young son on the floor outside the door. Beverly, the first ex-wife sat in the waiting area with her teenage daughter. The next day, instead of going home his current wife reserved a room at the guest quarters near the hospital to bathe, pray and wait.
