The story is making headlines in the United States. And for good reason:it is worthy of a Hollywood romantic comedy. Matthew and Danielle Davis, a young couple from Georgia, spin the perfect love again, after an accident where the young man almost lost his life...and which left him with no memory of the one to whom he had nevertheless passed the ring on the finger seven months ago…
On July 11, 2011, Matthew, then 22, was riding his motorcycle to work when he crashed into a parked car. The shock is terrible:femur, jawbone, ribs, skulls, neck fractured in multiple places, stomach and brain affected… Matthew is in a coma. Doctors only give him a 10% chance of survival and a 5% chance that he will ever regain his abilities.
It was then that a doctor offered Danielle to unplug it. "I told myself that the doctors must be right and I also knew that Matthew would never have wanted to remain a vegetable", thinks then the one who finds herself faced with a difficult choice. But in the end, she refuses to give up hope.
For four long years, she clings to it, to this hope, and tracks the slightest movements of her man. Until one day, his arms and legs started to move again...and he came out of the coma! Yes, but here it is:Matthew has no memory of the last three years of my life…which includes their marriage and all their history.
"When the situation was explained to me, I thought to myself, 'She's my wife! Yeah! », smiles the young man, very proud. For Danielle, the blow is harder:"I realized that he no longer had a single memory of all that we had been able to live and build. »
In April 2014, with the help of his wife, Matthew took his first steps. Today, he manages to run again, to drive. And by dint of spending time with her and facing her unfailing support, here he is again in love with her. Hats off to Danielle for her courage! We wish them a future as beautiful as their history.
