At the age of 38, Rikke Schmidt Kjærgaard a Danish scientist, wife and mother of three, is struck down by an acute bout of bacterial meningitis. She awakes from a coma in intensive care to find herself locked in, unable to show she is conscious except by blinking her eye. It becomes her only form of communication as in the months that follow, Kjærgaard's husband Peter sits beside her helping to interpret every eye movement. She struggles with every basic of life, painfully learning how to breathe, move, eat and speak again. Despite being given a five per cent chance of survival, she works intensively to recover and to achieve every small breakthrough. 'The Blink of an Eye' is a celebration of love and family and every little thing that matters when life is in the balance, written by a scientist uniquely able to describe her physical and mental journey to recovery.
