Terry Wallace at his home in Arkansas in
0:20
2006 three years after he regained the
0:23
ability to speak he's a unicorn in the
0:26
sense that he emerged so late a doctor
0:28
said we'll never know exactly why he
0:31
emerged after 19 years

credit Ron Phillips for the New York
0:35
Times and who then became a subject of a
0:38
major study that showed how a damaged
0:40
brain could heal itself died on March 29
0:43
in a rehabilitation facility in Cersei
0:46
Arc he was 57 he had pneumonia and heart
0:50
problems said his brother George Wallace
0:52
who confirmed the death Terry Wallace
0:55
was 19 when the pickup truck he was in
0:57
with two friends skidded off a small
0:59
bridge in the Ozark Mountains of
1:01
Northern Arkansas and landed upside down
1:03
in a dry riverbed the accident left him
1:06
in a coma for a brief time then in a
1:09
persistent vegetated stay for several
1:11
months one friend died the other
1:13
recovered
1:14
but on June 11 2003 he effectively
1:18
returned to the world when upon seeing
1:20
his mother Anjali he suddenly said Mom
1:24
at the sight of the woman he was told
1:26
was his adult daughter Amber who was six
1:29
weeks old at the time of the accident he
1:31
said you're beautiful and told her that
1:34
he loved her within a three-day period
1:36
from saying mom and Pepsi he had
1:39
regained verbal fluency said Doctor
1:41
Nicholas Schiff a professor of Neurology
1:44
and Neuroscience at Wild Cornell
1:46
medicine in Manhattan who led Imaging
1:48
studies of Mr Wallace's brain
1:51
the findings were presented in 2006 in
1:54
the journal of clinical investigation
1:56
he was disoriented doctor Schiff in a
1:59
phone interview said of Mr Wallace's
2:01
emergence he thought it was still 1984
2:04
but otherwise he knew all the people in
2:06
his family and had that fluency Mr
2:09
Wallace's brain scans the first ever of
2:12
a late recovering patient revealed
2:14
changes in the strength of apparent
2:16
connections within the back of the brain
2:18
which is believed to have helped his
2:20
conscious awareness and in the midline
2:22
cerebellum an area involved in motor
2:25
control which may have accounted for the
2:27
very limited movement in his arms and
2:29
legs while he was minimally conscious
2:31
he's a unicorn in the sense that he
2:34
emerged so late doctor Schiff said but
2:37
he added we'll never know exactly why he
2:40
emerged after 19 years
2:42
Mr Wallace's Stanley believes that
2:45
regular visits home while he was
2:46
minimally conscious had an impact
2:49
we think that helped his Awakening his
2:51
brother George said Mr Wallace's
2:54
recovery occurred nearly two years
2:55
before the death of Terry skiavo a
2:58
Florida woman who had suffered extensive
3:00
brain damage and fell into a persistent
3:02
vegetative state when her heart stopped
3:05
beating in 1990. her feeding tube had
3:08
been removed after a bitter National
3:09
debate over patients rights Terry Wayne
3:12
Wallace was born on April 7 1964 in
3:16
Mariana Ark his father Jerry was a
3:19
mechanic and a farmer
3:21
his mother Anjali Marshall Wallace
3:24
worked in a shirt factory at the time of
3:27
his accident Mr Wallace was working as
3:29
an auto mechanic and his brother said
3:31
was a little wild and lived on the edge
3:34
doing what he could do to enjoy life
3:37
after Terry awakened in 2003 his father
3:41
said in an interview he enjoyed flirting
3:43
with the nurses and he could move his
3:45
arms and legs but couldn't get up he
3:48
added he could talk to us but it was
3:50
like time had stopped for him he
3:52
remembered people from the time he
3:54
wrecked George Wallace recalled an
3:56
incident from eight years ago when he
3:58
took his wife Lindsay to visit his
4:00
brother who by then was more than a
4:03
decade into his recovery she's George's
4:06
wife Mr Wallace said and Terry said
4:09
she's way too pretty and way too old for
4:11
him
4:12
he was thinking that I was still 12
4:14
years old
4:15
until he was moved to a rehabilitation
4:17
facility eight months ago Mr Wallace
4:20
spent nearly all of the last 19 years
4:22
living at his parents home
4:24
cared for by family members including
4:27
his daughter and his mother who died in
4:29
2018.
4:30
she was in blue his brother George said
4:33
the absolute savior in addition to his
4:36
brother George his daughter and his
4:38
father Mr Wallace is survived by another
4:40
brother Perry a sister Tanya bays and
4:45
three grandchildren his marriage to
4:47
Sandy Wallace ended in divorce doctor
4:50
Schiff said that Mr Wallace and other
4:52
patients are still teaching us about the
4:55
potential for the brain to deal with
4:56
trauma
4:57
I think Terry's Legacy to neuroscience
5:00
at the highest level he said is to
5:02
instill our enduring undiluted and deep
5:05
interest in understanding how human
5:07
consciousness May recover after a
5:09
serious brain injury
5:11
the obituary said Wallace mother Anjali
5:14
and other family cared for him
5:16
relentlessly during his coma and
5:18
afterward family brought him home on
5:21
Alternate weekends for years because
5:23
doctors believe it would help his
5:24
Awakening period
5:26
he still thought it was 1984 when he
5:29
regained awareness his mother died in
5:32
2018. the obituary said Wallace enjoyed
5:35
eating anything at any time and loved
5:38
drinking Pepsi he died March 29 in big
5:42
Flat Arkansas
5:43
Terry was a great teaser and loved to
5:45
tease his sister his wonderful sense of
5:48
humor will be greatly missed by his
5:49
family the obituary read Wallace is
5:53
survived by his father siblings daughter
5:55
and three grandchildren
