Boy wakes up speaking a new language
By: Doug Criss

Summary: Rueben Nesmoh was kicked in the head about a month ago and he has been in deep coma ever since. He got kicked in the head in soccer practice then started being not able to focus very well or see then the next soccer game he got kicked the head once again and was unconscious. When Rueben woke up his parents noticed something super different... he wasn't speaking english. He was speaking fluently in spanish. he was always able to speak a little spanish but never fluent. Now slowly he is starting to get some of his english back so in the future he will be back to his usual self. 

Analysis: This has only happened one time in the past in 1941 in german bomb running. I found this article really interesting especially since I has only heard about this once. It must have been super scary for the family to have their child waking up almost a new person. Also really scary for Rueben too, waking up from coma hearing yourself not speaking english for some reason and you can't stop it.
