A United Arab Emirates (UAE) woman seriously injured in a 1991 car accident apparently recovered miraculously after coming out of a coma that has been going on for 27 years.
Munira Abdulla, 32 years old at the time of the accident, suffered a serious brain injury after the car she was in runs into a bus on the way to pick up her son from school.
Omar Webair, who was four years old, was sitting in the back of the vehicle with her, but was not touched by the injury while her mother cradled him in her arms just before the accident. .
Ms. Abdulla – who was driven by her brother-in-law – was seriously injured, but regained consciousness in a German hospital last year.
Omar spoke of his mother's accident and progress after years of treatment in an interview with the UAE-based newspaper The National.
"She kissed me for protecting me."
"I never gave up because I always felt that she would wake up one day," Omar told the newspaper on Monday.
"The reason I told her story is to tell people not to lose hope in their loved ones, do not consider them dead when they are in such a state," she said. -he adds.
"My mother was sitting with me in the back seat, when she saw the crash coming, she took me in her arms to protect me from it."
He was unscathed, suffering only from a bruise to the head, but his mother was not treated for hours.
Years of treatment
Ms. Abdulla was eventually hospitalized and transferred to London. There, she was declared in a vegetative state – insensitive, but able to feel the pain – The National reports.
She was then sent back to Al Ain, a city in the United Arab Emirates on the border with Oman where she lived, and was transferred to various medical facilities based on insurance requirements.
She stayed there for a few years, fed by a tube and kept alive. She had physiotherapy to make sure that her muscles would not weaken for lack of movement.
In 2017, Crown Prince Court, a government agency based in Abu Dhabi, offered the family the opportunity to transfer Ms. Abdulla to Germany.
There, she underwent several surgeries to correct the muscles of her very shortened arms and legs and received medication to improve her condition, including her waking state.
Row of hospital
A year later, his son was involved in an argument in his hospital room, which seemed to entice his mother to move.
"There was a misunderstanding in the hospital room and she felt that I was in danger, which caused her a shock," said Omar.
"She was emitting strange sounds and I kept calling the doctors to look at it.They said everything was normal."
"Then, three days later, I woke up to the sound of someone who called me.
"It was her! She called me my name, I flew with joy, it's been years since I dreamed of that moment and my name is the first word she uttered."
She has become more reactive and can now feel pain and have conversations.
She returned to Abu Dhabi, where she undergoes physiotherapy and rehabilitation – mainly to improve her sitting posture and prevent muscle contraction.
Cases like that of Abdulla are rare
There are only a few cases of people who have regained consciousness after several years – and even then, recovery can be prolonged.
It is impossible to predict the chances of a person in a state of impaired consciousness to improve, said the National Health Service of the United Kingdom.
People who regain consciousness often have severe disabilities caused by brain damage.
A notable case of recovery is that of Terry Wallis, an American involved in a car accident at the age of 19 and who has experienced a dramatic recovery after 19 years spent in an almost vegetative state. It was thought that he had been able to fend off brain tissue.
