Due to a rare complication after surgery, this woman fell into a coma, and the doctors no longer hoped for anything. However, when she heard her baby crying, she mystically woke up.
Maternal instinct
North Carolina resident Shelley Cowley was unable to wake up after a cesarean section and fell into a coma. She received a standard dosage of anesthesia medicine, but during the operation, a blood clot formed in her body that entered the brain, which led to a coma.
The woman was examined by various doctors, but all of them were sure that nothing could be done. Shelley's husband Jeremy Cowley told about this. As an act of despair, Nurse Ashley Manus insisted on bringing her newborn baby to the mother's room.
She suggested that the crying of a baby can affect a woman who has fallen into a coma, and the brain will give the command to wake up. The nurse said that the hospital practices tactile and verbal contact between mother and child, which is sometimes very powerful. The little son was brought to Shelley and laid in her arms.
However, the child was so comfortable in the mother's embrace that he did not cry. Jeremy had to gently tickle and even pinch the baby for 10 minutes until he started screaming. The crying of a child acted on a woman in a coma as the most powerful and fastest medicine. She shuddered and soon woke up.
Doctors call this case a real miracle, however, Ashley Manus is sure that the maternal instinct is stronger than any, even the most serious illnesses.
