A boy who lost his sight and also the ability to walk and talk after an asthma attack cut off oxygen to his brain is slowly recovering.

Dante [Hall] was stricken last June and remained unconscious for a month. When he regained consciousness, he suffered from memory loss, blindness, and couldn’t walk or talk.

He went home in August and, with help from physical therapists, learned to walk again.

“He couldn’t talk when he came home from the hospital,” his mother said, but now “he won’t stop.”

Lutz said she was sitting in the back of the bus, but wasn’t being disruptive. She claimed she was stunned when the bus driver interrupted her reading.

“She asked me to stop reading my Bible,” Lutz told FOX 4. “I said, ‘No, I’m reading the Bible, I’m teaching the kids, I’m going to continue.’ And I continued.”

Lutz said the next thing she knew, the bus had pulled over and she was being escorted into a supervisor’s van, which then took her and her family to church.
