Woman meets daughter for the first time after waking up from 7- year coma

A woman has shocked doctors after waking
up from a seven-year coma.
Danijela Kovacevic, from Vojvodina, Serbia,
had fallen ill following a traumatic labour in 2009.


The 25-year-old contracted sepsis while
giving birth to her daughter Marija and
was left in a vegetative state.
But Ms Kovacevic has now come around,
which has astounded Serbian medics who
have never seen anyone survive after being
unconscious for that long.
She has also been reunited with her daughter, who is now seven.
A family friend said: ‘After school, Marija is
close to her mama every day.
‘She comforts her, makes her laugh and doesnot give up the hope that she will touch her and embrace her.’
Ms Kovacevic’s father Djordje Kovacevic
spoke about how his daughter was now able to hold a tablet and pen.
‘These are minor recoveries, but Danijela is
much better that before. She has put on
weight, she is more aware and more alive.
She reacts, smiles and also gets angry,’ he
said.
‘That is because you are teaching a kid to do
certain things. She had very hard trainings.
She walked 800 metres and that is a big
achievement.’

Ms Kovacevic is currently recovering at a
rehabilitation centre in Pforzheim, Germany, but needs 50,000 Euros (£43,000) for the treatment to continue.
Her family and friends are trying to raise the extra money.
Mr Kovacevic added: ‘They organised a
competition in taekwondo and all the money they gathered was for Danijela’s recovery.
They gave us 10,000 EUR (8,700 GBP), but we need 50,000 more.’
