the injury on her husband and his family.

Before his injury, Allen was a happy-go-lucky involved father who coached children's sports, his wife said. He loved the military and loved music.
Since the incident, he's had about 20 surgeries, she said. He needs scores of medicines, vitamins and supplies and requires nursing care 24 hours a day.
Bergdahl watched intently as the prosecution played a video of Shannon Allen and a nurse helping her husband get out of bed and maneuver through the home, which is filled with specialty medical equipment.

As with an infant, Mark Allen cannot be left alone because he might have seizures, she said. He cannot eat or drink by mouth and groans with pain.
His young daughter, Journey, crawls onto his wheelchair and plays on him because he cannot pick her up or hold her, Shannon Allen said.

"He is present, makes eye contact," she said. "He can laugh, smile, cry. That is the extent of the communication."

A Veterans Administration doctor testified Monday by telephone about Allen's condition. His eyes are open but there is no awareness of his environment, Dr. Rafael Mascarinas said. Part of Allen's brain was removed to relieve pressure -- the part that controls thinking, speaking and voluntary movement, Mascarinas said. Allen is between 90% and 100% paralyzed."

But no one died though, so it's cool.
