One-Year-Old Wakes Up From Medical Induced Coma Just Before Being Taken Off Life Support

ADVERTISEMENT

Little Marwa was only one year old when a virus had attacked her nervous system. She had already been struggling with her health, and the virus only made things worse. Her parents, worried for her brought her to a nearby hospital where doctors put the girl in a medically induced coma.

Yet months passed and Marwa had still not awoken and her parents were fearing the worst. Later, doctors suggested that she would ultimately be taken off life support. Still, her parents refused to allow their precious daughter to leave so soon, they went and gathered over 100,000 signatures to have court officials grant little Marwa an extension of life. Luckily, weeks later Marwa opened her eyes and awoke! Not only are her parents overjoyed that they can return home with their daughter, but we too are relieved that little Marwa is alright now.

    why did the doctor decide for the parents to pull her life support? Doctors just advise and give prognosis. But the last decision should always be the guardian or immediate family member.
