Woah, a modern day Ripp Van Winkle. That is pretty amazing.

Wow. That's amazing .. but very sad too. I mean, can you image going to sleep, and then waking up to find out that you're almost 20 years older and your kid is almost the same age as you think you are ....

I think it would be frightening in a way. If that happened to me, I'd think I was having some horribly realistic-looking dream.

Plus, losing twenty years of "life" has got to be staggering.

I think that it's neat in a way thou cuz arn't they being fed thru IV's? If thats the case then its kinda neat that they can stay alive. But yah 20 years in a "sleep" has to suck. Cuz I mean it may feel like a night to you but to the family it's forever...

When I first saw this, I had images of The Onion dancing in my head. But then I saw it was an msn link. That's pretty interesting.

Usually not fed through IVs, mostly because if the gut is still alive, you want to keep it that way. For that reason, most of the time someone on a long term enteral feeding plan will usually be fed through a tube in the stomach.

Okay, okay, I see several people turning green, so I'll go nap before MOD call.

Anyway, it would be interesting for him to relate his "experience" ... most of us always wonder how much you experience and how much you remember. It's surprising what filters through.

That was really amazing. Really, I don't know why it doesent even matter how hard you try keep that in mind when the design is right to spend the due time. All I know, that person must have been saved by god. He tryed so hard and gone so far, in the end it matters.

very intresting.... i wonder what his thinking is like... he has the age, yet not the experience. we could learn a lot from this. it is very sad in a way for him and his family missing out on 19 years of time together. oh man, thats gotta blow your mind when some lady you have never met is your "unborn" daughter. *sigh... they grow up so fast...* well, all said God must have a plan for his life.
