Teenager in coma since before covid pandemic finally wakes up after horror car crash
He is responding to loved ones after 11 months, who are wondering how they are going to explain the past year to him
...
His family are thrilled he has woken up at last and at the progress he has made. But they are wondering how they can explain the pandemic, lockdowns and social distancing to him. His accident happened three weeks before the first national lockdown, which came into force in the UK on March 23, last year.
The 19-year-old has spent all that time in a coma at the Leicester General Hospital, where only his mum, Sharon Priestley, could visit due to covid restrictions. Joe has even caught covid twice, once while he was still in a coma and once since waking, but has come through it.
Now the teenager is progressing well after opening his eyes and in the last few weeks he has started moving limbs when he is told to do so. He is engaging with family and friends through blinking and smiling.
