Woman Resumes Talking 20 Years After Head Injury

Posted: 3:00 pm CST February 11, 2005

Hutchinson, Kan. -- The father of a woman unable to talk for more than two decades said he's gone "from despair to joy."

Sarah Scantlin has begun to regain her memory and form words for the first time since a drunken driver hit her in 1984. She was 18 at the time of the accident.

Since then, she's been unable to make any sounds other than loud crying. A month ago, she told staff members at the Kansas health center where she lives "OK, OK." Workers said she's now forming other words, counting and remembering people and places.

The administrator of the Golden Plains Health Care Center said "nobody really knows why" Scantlin has regained speech.

Family and friends plan a celebration at the health center Saturday. Jim Scantlin told CNN his daughter is "100 percent Sarah again."
