@paulkramer4176 May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to give you wisdom and unfailing love lots of patience to care for your wife and in times of weakness may He give you the will and strength to carry on because with God all things are possible Matthew 19:26 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding in all of your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path Proverbs 3:5-6

That’s a very precious story 😢🙏🏼💝

Best wishes to you Paul, you both are amazing. May God bless you both.

​@MrBibi86 its not selfish! Her boys have their mom back!

This is the story of a mother’s love. Mama Bear. ❤❤❤

@@MrBibi86define selfish! Life is precious! Mother spends her life trying to save her daughter and saving her grandchildren’s mother.

@@MrBibi86selfish? You mean SELFLESS! Even when it’s your own flesh & blood, your own child…. Do you know what it takes for around the clock care? Most couldn’t do that.

She's very lucky to have this mama. My mother would've told them to pull the plug after they asked her the first time.

@@skyclad89 Oh no really?! Well I'm sure there has been someone in your life that has treated you just like their child even though your not their biological child.🙏

@@glorialynnjackson my grandmother who died in 06. She was the only woman in my life that treated me like a mother should. Thank God for that woman. Without her I would have never known a mother's love. I'm so glad I got to tell her goodbye and how much she meant to me. But I'll always ache over the pure hatred my own mother showed me and wonder why. Guess I'll find out when I meet my maker.

Yes. Thank God for such wonderfully loving mothers like her.

@@anatole2478 Lol Spandex.. humor is essential in recovering from anything right?!

At that point I’m sure it just becomes routine and part of your life, a week is completely different since your emotions are still extremely fresh and the information you’re being given is a lot and new

My dad too, the worst week of my life

You should have pulled the plug.

@@corrao.4643 Went through it with my brother. Hope you all are doing alright. I know better than most that sometimes the wounds it leaves in the mind take the longest to heal. 18 months later and I simply cannot drive in bad weather. I would sob uncontrollably when my ex had to drive to work in bad weather until I knew she got to her destination safely because I couldn't stop picturing her side by side with my brother with all those tubes in him. He's almost fully recovered, but still hard to cope.

​@plantationsecurity haha im laughing so hard right now 😐

Did he fully regain how to function like a teen or adult? Talking, eating, walking like the average person? I'm just curious.

That’s amazing, I’m so happy that your cousin pulled through. Wishing him and the rest of your family all the best!

@@marikookie9004 yes, He did. Then about 2 years ago he fell and hit his head hard and had a really bad seizure . Ironically, he ended up in the same situation as prior. He was induced into a coma and this time around we really thought that was it for him. Well This man has been surrounded with so much love and support that it woke him up again. My aunt has been giving him daily therapy at home which has helped a ton. She says that music has been amazing for his recovery. I just saw him on superbowl sunday and I honestly can say hes a miracle.

I worked with families of NICU babies and I promise you I have witnessed mothers literally will their children to live!

I'm very happy for your family!

That's a no , in that you are not alone!

Teared up reading this. ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing it-and especially, for the unimaginably remarkable work you do for others. What a beautiful reminder about the importance of offering kindness and dignity, always.

WOW!! That is truly amazing that she heard you talking to her and recognized you 3 years later!!

That is a kind heart.

Wow that’s amazing! They say that they can hear you, thanks for being an amazing nurse we need more like you God bless you

Thank you for you service and May God Bless you more.

Also, there have been a few stories where the person in the coma heard a lot of things and told their family once they were able too.

And if Deaf, they can feel touch. Always have people sign in ASL in their hands slowly if they are Deaf in a coma. They will understand.

Correct I always treat them just like they can talk and are awake.

When I was a kid I was paralyzed from the neck down, not in a coma. The nurses treated me like I was in a coma anyways and talked all kinds of crap. They sounded exactly the same as the kids I went to school with, like literal 12 year olds, even tho they had nursing degrees. Idiots...

@@kymo6343terrible sorry you went through that

So how many times you think a black janitor snuck into her room and shot up into her while she was still comatose?

@@Bfkcjscbsnjc well given the fact that hes a senior in high school (17 years old) and she was in a coma for 5 years the math doesnt really add up smart guy

​@@woahrocketI think you should reread the question.

What does race has to do with it. Race doesn't define shit about a person. Anybody of all races is able to do evil. ​@@Bfkcjscbsnjc, the fact that most crimes are done by black People here in America is a mixture of several things, mostly the culture that most black people grow up around. But it ain't because they have this set of genes that makes them have more melanin, that's for sure.

So happy for your family ❤❤❤

if the coma is medically-induced it is reversible. if not, if the coma is caused by brain damage, the chances of recovery are not good.

That is so cool . love is a powerful medicine.

How're you doing

What is your point

​​​@@alanl6194 her point is not everyone can. People who have disability or on coma can be left and abandoned in facilities by their families because they can't care for them fully.

This is what happens when you give birth to muts.

@@alanl6194- The other point is what happens when the mother is physically capable of helping her daughter ?

I've never heard of a facility keeping anyone in a coma that long.

Period 😊❤

She will never relearn everything.

@@MrPAULONEAL unfortunately

@@MrPAULONEAL never say never

​@@MrPAULONEALyeah, "she will only get worse, you know"

With God all things are possible.

Honestly if it was me I'd wish somebody had pulled the damn plug. I'd rather be dead than live like that.

Imagine what another 5 years will do for her recovery. She is blessed with a devoted mother who will fight for every gain her daughter has. She is smiling and laughing. Able to watch her son play football. That's quality of life. That's worth fighting for!❤

There was a case of a woman who woke up from a coma 20 years later or something.

Question: What health insurance will continue to pay for a patient in a 5 yr coma or 20 yrs.....just asking

​​@@user-nk4xm1rd1k, I'm wondering too.

That's awesome! But you were that incapacitated after just two and a half weeks? I wonder in her case whether the issue with her hands will go away. She was in a coma for so long. I'm curious why her hands are currently stuck the way they are and whether physical therapy can help with that.

Retrained your brain :)

​@BeeWhistler There was a coma case that lasted 20 years. I think around the eighties but she was unable to walk again

@@BeeWhistlerI think her hands are bc she needs to relearn how to make motor movements with each part of her body again. Need to wire the brain up again, which takes practice

@@BeeWhistler When I broke my knee I had to wear a brace to prevent my leg from bending. Just a few weeks in that, and my leg lost a ton of muscle mass. But it came back pretty quickly! The human body is wild :)

Im so sorry for your loss, you were so young I also lost my mother when i was very young and i have no doubt either or our mothers would be nothing but proud of us everyday we continue life A mothers love tops all

I’m very sorry both of you lost your mom so young. The video already got to me and now reading these comments…😢 I also wanted to say, 33 is the peak year of the prime of your life. If I could pick one age to be for eternity, it would be 33. I’m 46 now. Enjoy the rest of your 30’s and keep being good mother.

I am 37 and I have lived across the world from my mom for 12 years and she had a stroke after she had covid so between all the years of distance, time zones, and her health I've really felt that aching longing of just holding her and genuinely nothing brings me more pride than knowing that her face is in my mirror every day for the rest of my life no matter what. I honestly thank the lion king for putting that visual in my brain because damn it is so true. I'm sorry to hear that you and your mother didn't get more time together.

I would never EVER want to be kept on life support for years just to wake up and have such a limited quality of life like this. I Think family members need to not think about themselves but the actual quality of life a person has/would have if they’re kept on life support this long. It’s a tragedy to keep someone on this earth in such a limited capacity just because you can’t let go.

@@AmberUnavailable i'm sure you're projecting your own fears here, but acting like disabled people cant live fulfilling lives is extremely insulting. she smiles so often in this video and i'm sure it helps that she's surrounded by people who have so much hope for her instead of people like yourself. new challenges don't mean your life is not worth living. take this as a positive message in case a shocking development happens in your own life, but also as a warning not to demean a disabled person's life the way you just did.

Same thing for me. Wow, such a heart-touching story!

I’m tearful as I write this. I’ve got a 40 yr old daughter and I can’t imagine EVER giving up on her, no matter what. You are sooo special, as is your sweet girl. I’m hoping things get a bit easier as time moves on. Bless your family ❤️

Didn't her daughter have a husband? Wasn't he raising the boys too?

@@ghostbansurvivor6229 Yeah - What the hell?? Where did the father run off to?

@@-108- It's not mentioned in the video if the father abandoned his kids. This poster just assumed that because the kids were biracial.

@@ghostbansurvivor6229 If you knew that for a fact, you'd have offered up proof. But you did not, thereby making it apparent you are more than likely FOS on that point.

​@@ghostbansurvivor6229More likely just because he wasn't shown or referenced in the video.

Did you see the video of her at her son's game? If so, the man walking along them is her husband. I imagine that while his wife was in hospital he was looking after their sons & fulfilling the role of both parents.@@notallowedtobehonest2539

@@Drux.i 😂raising his children. Good one!

@@Drux.i grandma doin that too.... lets be real

I think this a strange situation, seeing as this is rare. I think the nurses encouraging her to let her go was the best decision, the chances of her waking up were definitely slim. People dying is normal, the circle of life. When someone is gone, they're gone unfortunately. We may love them but we havr accept that this place is temporary and we all leave at one time or another .

​@@HoloCoughSurvivor7we're the problem tho

@@samweII but not every influencer is a blood sucking, money, hungry weirdo. for you to make that assumption makes you worse then them imo. instead of trying to get rid of how about you teach the importance of loving everyone as you'd want them to do to you.

I don’t know why you’re saying that. I highly doubt you care about someone’s life who isn’t even related to you

You'd have a lot of vegetables if you gave everyone in a coma 5 years. Most people with a low number on the coma scale either die, never wake up or wake up with severe brain damage. If I was in a coma with a low likelihood of waking up, we're probably talking about less than 1% after 2 years in a coma, I'd say pull it and let someone else get the medical resources being wasted on me. If my brain would be even partially dead I wouldn't want to live.

You never give up on your children. I don't salute her, I feel for her, but that's what you do as a parent.

Senior night has me crying like a BABY on my lunch break right now😭😭😭 so touching!!!!!❤️

And you could tell how proud her son was of her!!

Had me choking up

AMEN and AMEN!

so why did she pass out in the first place

Something to consider, and it is an extremely heartbreaking thing, is that in the US, someone would have to be able to afford keeping their loved one alive that long. This mother was able to do this for her daughter because she was able to pay for it and able to care for her after. A lot of us don't have to money to wait and hope we're the lucky ones who will get our person back. Many don't have the time to take off work or are able to let go of other commitments to care for someone, possibly for the rest of their life or ours after. I am so glad that this woman and her family were the lucky ones and that they have the money to do all of this. Unfortunately, I know most of us just couldn't and wouldn't be so lucky.

@@hahalove47This comment should be pinned. This and the fact that they're moving people through the hospital like a short stay motel to keep money in those beds.

@@hahalove47I completely agree. It is very individualized according to the injury to the brain, primarily its location, as well as other neurological deficits. Some never fully recover to be independent again. Even noticed her contracture on her left hand, can be extremely painful. I pray she is able to continue with recovery and new norm.

It was also because she still had brain activity

@@hahalove47 It happens everywhere, not just in US.

@@AmberUnavailable Stop commenting this negative crap under every other comment. Keep it to yourself. There are millions of disabled people on this earth who are living a very happy life. Just because you don't have a positive outlook doesn't mean others don't. The woman is in the video, despite being disabled, is clearly very happy.

@@_Acerz_ She doesn't have the brainpower to be unhappy, and neither do you.

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you and your family. Keep livin life like there’s no tomorrow!

@@PanthraxIVCould you please restate that differently? I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey.

@@PanthraxIV there's a time and a place to argue with christians. trying to make someone feel bad for appreciating their life and their second chance is not a good time or place. shame on you

Same thing happened with my Aunt. She woke up two months later. The doctors pushed us to pull the plug after only a few days and said there was no chance. Thankfully my uncle said NO! Too many doctors think they are God, when they are wrong many times! I see this so often, which unfortunately is why I do not want to donate my organs. I feel doctors pressure the family even more when they see an organ donor to end life support. Many are also in the pockets of insurance companies, whom don't want to pay for care. I wonder how many organ donors would have lived if their families just gave it some time, left it too God, and said no to the doctors? Glad you are here and I applaud your Mother! Thanks be to God! ✝️

Where was god when it all happened?... If this the god you believe it, disgusting, hurting innocent people!

God is ALWAYS with us and intervenes immediately, as God strengthened to do when the Medical Expert had condemned her daughter to a quick death. The person who has accused God REALLY NEEDS TO BACK DOWN, STOP POURING FIRE ON GOD, and to get a view from those who can speak loud and clearly about THE REALITY of HAVING GOD'S SUPPORT IN TIMES like this with her daughter, mine with a deadly situation, and many thousands of other similar stories. For that sad writer, I have asked God to help the individual release that bit well of anger and consider that when you want and/or need God's help: just ask with true, believing sincerity and back up a bit to Give God the Room to Work. Then, perhaps, you will discover Life or LIFE that you did not know existed! ❤🎉❤🎉❤ Sherrill Smith

it's just not fair to always blame God for everything that happens around us when most of the misery we experience is brought about by our own actions @@jmel1000

I love reading your comment I saw a mom and her young son at the mall the boy was in a wheelchair and I just smiled so much its a such a beautiful the love and faith knowing we all know the drs will say they wont make it and then they do. I watched it with my grandma when she got cancer when I was 12 years old and was told she would die I literally died and was never the same I am just realizing these past 2 years that they may be the root of all my issues from how tramatizing it was. She lived until I was 23 years old she still had bone cancer but she survived and life a mostly normal life except her believing she couldnt do things because of her health or that she wasnt beautiful anymore she would always tell me she use to have pretty hands and feet (i loved her feet use to rub my grandma feet as a kid lol) and I took all of what she said and believed it too and I just wish she were here today and I could have helped her be happy and life more. I am so happy for you and all others who didnt give up on your family, friends, children, etc that have had these illeness and circumstances to where your giving the them the best that you got and the best life and allowing them to live their life.

Thank you for supporting and loving your son and showing him such aspirational content. He is lucky to have you, and vice-versa I'm sure ♥

Yeah I can’t imagine my mom having even a fraction of this amount of energy or faith or love for me, even without anything catastrophic occurring.

​​@@AmberUnavailableI am struggling with that same idea. Her kids had already mourned the loss of their mom, and now that mom is... "Back"... They have to relearn everything, but worse their mom isn't even capable of taking on the mother role, so they have to be the initiators, and even in some cases, perhaps the adult in any given situation. With that said, though.. I'd never be able to let go of my own children. Not ever.

@@AmberUnavailable That’s a valid perspective, but remember, she was induced into a coma. The doctors had no way of knowing it would take five years for her to awaken.
