A young man, Omar Webiar, has shared an inspiring story of how his mom, who was in an accident in 1991, woke up from comma in 2017 after several difficulties in getting her proper care.
According to Omar, his mother, Munira Abdulla was 32-years-old at the time she had the accident. She had come to pick him up from school, being driven by his uncle. But minutes after she picked him up and got on her way back, their car rammed into another bus.
Omar was just four years that year, and luckily, he was being cradled by his mom when the accident occurred. So, he was not harmed in any way.
Munira was not so lucky though. She suffered a brain injury that sent her into a coma as a result of the impact.
It took another 27 years before she regained consciousness again.
While narrating the story, Omar stated, “I never gave up on her because I always had a feeling that one day she would wake up.
“The reason I shared her story is to tell people not to lose hope on their loved ones; don’t consider them dead when they are in such a state.
“My mother was sitting with me in the back seat. When she saw the crash coming, she hugged me to protect me from the blow.”
He explained how doctors did not attend to Munira, many hours after the incident occurred and had to be flown to a London hospital in the end.
At the hospital, doctors confirmed that although she could still sense pains, she had gone into a vegetative state.
Munira was later transferred back to her home country, UAE where she was being moved from one medical facility to another over the years.
Throughout the period, she was being fed through tubes just to ensure that she stayed alive.
At some point, the Crown Prince Court offered her family a grant with which she was flown to Germany to undergo some surgeries again.
Her long waited resuscitation finally occurred in 2017, after Omar had an argument with another individual right inside his mother’s hospital ward.
Omar said, “There was a misunderstanding in the hospital room and she sensed I was at risk, which caused her a shock,” Omar said.
“She was making strange sounds and I kept calling the doctors to examine her, they said everything was normal.
“Then, three days later, I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name.
“It was her! She was calling my name, I was flying with joy; for years I have dreamt of this moment, and my name was the first word she said.”
Munira has now become more responsive and can converse with members of her family.
She has been flown back to Abu Dhabi to undergo physiotherapy and other treatments.
