barbara,

Nicely descriptive of the scene in the hospital room. Perhaps comatose patients do respond to outside stimuli. Time will tell. Well done.

Two items:

Anna's in a [comma]. by barbara.wilkey
should be [coma]

darted to Anna's [lifeless] body lying in bed.
maybe use [limp] or [unconscious] since 'lifeless' indicates no life

Respectfully,

Duane

    Another reviewer suggested I use something other than lifeless and I have been thinking about it. I like unconscious. Thank you for helping me with that.

This is wonderful for Mother's Day, Barbara. You show how Anna's love draws her to respond to her little son. It's a touching scene when she calls Michael's name. Things look favorable for her coming out of her coma. Dialogue is very good and realistic. When you refer to Anna's "lifeless" body early in this portion, I wonder if you might find another word because lifeless makes it sound like she's dead. judi

typo in title - Anna's in a comma - coma
A most dramatic scene by Anna's bedside
You're breaking my heart as Michael cries for his Mama.
I love how much Tony believes in her even if the doctor is saying that scientifically it a big stretch :-) Brooke

A very touching chapter, Barbara. Love that Anna responded to her child, and I can quite believe it. Few things are stronger than the bond between mother and child. It looks like she's going to recover.

Great emotion expressed here. Well done.

Hugs, Av

I think it is wonderful to take on this issue.

The lead for this says Anna is in a comma, but the story line is coma, just to let you know.

Thanks for your efforts.
