Mother woke up from 7-year coma meets daughter for the first time

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 does not 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.
