Thank you so much for this latest important news yukisnowflake! I have been following and concerned about this case for quite a while now. It really is a miracle and a blessing that this girl has awaken and I hope that this lifts a burden off of Maxim's (and Albena's) shoulders as well.

Hi UMgal:

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, I too have been awaiting a long time to learn about an update on the condition of Manuela, the coma victim, in this sad incident.

I can relate in particular to this statement in the article:

My son was in a coma after he was a victim in a car accident 14 yrs ago. (he was 13 yrs old at the time).
We had to await his coming out of his coma for about 2 wks. then we had to deal with the possibility of permanent 'brain injury".
He was in the hospital for 4 months then had to be monitored for at least 5 years to see the extent of his brain injury.
I don't wish those circumstances on anyone. Very truamatic.

Thankfully everything turned out okay & he returned to his original healthy self.

I hope she recovers fully & wish her & her loved ones well.

I'm very sorry about your son, yukisnowflake.
I don't know what I'd say to you. It was very hard times for you and family.

It was miracles for your son and the girl under the coma.
Yes, I hope she recovers fully as she had, too.

Hi, yukisnowflake. I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a similar experience with your son as well. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for you and your family to have gone through this and it takes real strength to get through it. After such an experience, a person can only come out stronger and more resilient I believe. And most importantly, your son is indeed doing well now and enjoying his life right?

God bless you, your family, your son, and Manuela as well.

That's good news. I hope Manuela continues to get better. And yurisnowflake, I'm sorry about what happened to your son but I am glad that he (as well as you and your family) was able to make it through just fine.

Thanks all:

For your kind words re: my son's health & the similar situation that our family experienced.
My son's accident happened in Mar. 1993, was in a coma for 3 weeks, released from hospital in June 1993 in time for him to gradutate Grade 8 along with his fellow classmates.
He is now 28 yrs. old, living on his own, has a good job & wonderful girlfriend.

That's why my interest in the news of Manuela's condition & progress has taken priority lately over the other facts in the tragic accident.

I've been waiting with bated breath for news of her stituation.
I hope to keep you all up to date on her progress.
