in distress of his son and feel

It was in danger that this spark could have awakened a woman after 27 years in a vegetative state, to the surprise of the doctors and the family.

Munira Abdulla, who was 32 at the time of the accident, suffered a serious brain injury after the car in which he was traveling was hit by a group. Next to her, in the back seat, was her four year old son, Omar Webair. To prevent the little one from being damaged, Munira took him in his arms to absorb the impact. The boy suffered only scratches.

The tragic accident occurred in 1991 and Abdulla was seriously injured, but last year he regained consciousness in a German hospital after 27 years without communication with anyone.

The story was told by his son Omar, who is now 32 years old. The man granted an interview to The National, a newspaper based in the

United Arab Emirates

Where does the family come from?

"I never gave up because I always felt that one day she would wake up," Omar said, adding, "The reason I told her about history is to tell people not to lose hope in their loved ones, consider dead when in such a state. "

A discussion that woke Munira

The woman had been transferred in 2017, thanks to the help of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, who had known of his case during a previous interview with Omar.

Already in the Germanic countries, after months of treatment, Omar has been disputed with a doctor in his mother's room. "There was a misunderstanding in the hospital room and she thought I was in danger, which caused her a shock," explained the young man. She stated that the woman was sobbing when she heard the screaming.

After the examination of the doctors, it was determined that nothing had happened and that the woman had remained the same for 27 years. However, three days after this episode, during the night, Omar heard a woman's voice calling him. He opened his eyes and realized that it was his mother who had woken up.

"It was she, she called me, I felt super cheerful, for years, I had dreamed of that moment, and my name was the first thing she said." , recalls Omar.

Since this awakening, they have spent a few months during which the woman has evolved so as to be able to hold conversations, pray and call her loved ones when she needs them.

A report from the German Medical Center confirmed that the patient "is currently able to communicate in a very reasonable manner, especially in family situations." Beyond his evolution, Munira Abdulla will face physiotherapy and prevent the contraction of other muscles.
