On Wednesday, Sharista opened her eyes for the first time since the accident, acknowledged her father, and saw a photo of her son, who has been steadily gaining weight and now weighs more than six pounds, the Facebook page said.
"Sharista has her eyes open n blinking n squeezing our fingers when we ask her to. Praise the Lord! She was following her daddy's voice n we showed her a picture of Baby L n she seen him!!!" the post reads. (read more)

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, I think doctors prescribed medication to expecting mothers that pretty much accomplished the same effect.
A few out of 300 romantic comedies featured comas.
There always has to be a difficulty, and the quality of the film depends on the dramatic structure that calls for the difficulty.
The nicest, from that point of view, was the woman who couldn't remember her husband; and the resolution was to court her all over again from the beginning.
Which structurally is a nice picture of marriage without the coma.
On the other hand, here's a DVD I rejected buying just today, from the included review
A family weekend is fraught with emotional landmines for mercurial and sensitive Lynn as she arrives at her parents Annapolis estate for the marriage of her estranged eldest son Dylan, accompanied by her three younger children. Lynn s hopes for a joyful reunion are crushed as her wry but troubled middle son Elliot lobs verbal grenades at his mother and her relatives while daughter Alice, a fragile young woman, fights valiantly to keep her longtime demons under control. The weekend quickly unravels as Lynn demands to be heard by her aloof, disdainful mother, ailing, distant father and ever-judgmental sisters, but most especially by her ex-husband Paul and his hot-tempered second wife Patty. Confronted, oftentimes hilariously, with the deeply painful, half-buried truths that have given rise to the familys primal web of resentments and recriminations, Lynn struggles to maintain her equilibrium as her best attempts at reconciliation veer quickly off-course.
That's entertainment?
