Brave Sam Boughen (corr), 26, suffers a rare genetic liver disease and was on the edge of death having undergone two life-saving transplants.
Sam, a keen drummer, spent eight days in a coma after he contracted e. coli and a deadly lung disease as he battled to survive on life support.
But his family - who had maintained a 24 hour bedside vigil - were stunned when Sam opened his eyes and used an iPad to type out and ask for a KFC burger with gravy.
Sam's dad Martin, 53, said: "We had an app that meant he could write what he wanted to say.
"We all held our breath the first time he started writing. We thought he would tell us that he loved us - but instead he asked for a KFC. Then we knew we had Sam back."
