JAKARTA - Nothing is impossible for God. Even when the doctor and family had given up, a miracle happened.
Her name is Bettina Lerman. She is a mother who has been in a coma for two months due to COVID-19. And miraculously, he even woke up when the family had surrendered and intended to remove all the tools that had been supporting his life.
Quoted from The New Zealand Herald, Monday, November 22, Bettina Lerman has not been vaccinated. She contracted COVID-19 a few months ago with her husband who has cancer.
After contracting the deadly virus, Lerman was hospitalized on September 12 and placed on a ventilator nine days later, according to CNN.
As his condition worsened, he fell into a coma and his family had been told by doctors to prepare for the worst.
"We had a family meeting with the hospital because my mother didn't wake up. No matter what they (did) they couldn't wake her up," said his son, Andrew.
Doctors said there was damage to his organs, especially his lungs, which was so severe that it could not be repaired.
"They said his lungs were completely destroyed. There was irreparable damage," he said.
Lerman is not against vaccines. He had planned to get vaccinated before falling sick but had many illnesses including diabetes. He also suffered a heart attack and underwent bypass surgery four times two years ago.
Lerman's condition was so bad that the family had even ordered a coffin and tombstone. They were really getting ready to say goodbye.
But on October 29 when they were about to remove the life support, one of the doctors called. And the magic happened.
"Your mother wakes up.'"
Her mother can breathe on her own for several hours on oxygen instead of a ventilator.
He knows where he is, who he is - he's as sharp as nails," he said.
"Usually, when someone comes out of a coma like that, they say that the patient has delirium where they are very confused. From day one, he hasn't had any of that."
He said his mother now plans to get vaccinated once he recovers.
"I think the right thing to do is get vaccinated, so if one of our family members gets it again it won't be that bad.
"We give him words of encouragement every day. We tell him to keep fighting."
