Woman Talks After 20 Year Silence
HUTCHISON, KS, FEB. 16, 2005--A Kansas woman who had been in what is described as a "near coma state" for more than 20 years began talking last month.
"Hi, Mom," Sarah Scantlin, 38, said to her mother over a speaker phone last week.
"Sarah, is that you?" Betsy Scantlin asked.
"Yes," said her daughter.
"How are you doing?"
"Fine."
"Do you need anything?" her mother asked her later.
"More makeup."
