The roof, heavy with snow, suddenly collapsed, and for six minutes he was without oxygen. Donny--a beloved husband, a father of four boys, and a neighborhood fixture who was always willing to lend a helping hand--fell into a vegetative state that lasted nearly a decade. His prognosis was poor, and while he could open his eyes, he was unresponsive to the world around him. Donny Herbert was, for all practical purposes, gone. Until one day, in April 2005, when he woke up and spoke almost nonstop to his family and loved ones for nearly sixteen hours. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Day Donny Herbert Woke Up\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of this unforgettable time, which was covered by the press worldwide.
