There are times when reality seems to overcome fiction and shows us that in the world of science two and two are not always four. This is the case of a woman, a recent mother, who you have woken up from coma when you hear your baby's cry.
This is Karen Morrison-Clutton, a 32-year-old Welsh librarian who, after giving birth to her son, suffered an infection from Escherichia Coli after eating spoiled food.
This infection affected his body in such a way that doctors decided to induce coma so that the treatments were more effective. However, once the infection was resolved and the drugs were withdrawn, Karen remained in a coma.
Given this situation, the husband, who day after day was explaining the progress of the baby, decided to try the crying of his son. He recorded a video with his baby as the protagonist and He put it on Karen, who started fighting for his life from that moment.
As the mother explained after waking up “I wanted to die, but then I listened to Ollie and I said 'I want to live'”.
There have been a total of 67 days he has been in the hospital and after that time he tries to recover the time lost with his son. They are now in their home in Wales, recovered from the infection and enjoying family life.
This is undoubtedly amazing news for two reasons. One of them the force that a baby's claim can have on a mother's instincts upon waking him the need to take care of his son and the other knowing first hand that, even when in a coma, the sense of hearing seems to continue working.
