after spending 27 years in a coma –
induced by a serious brain injury.
Munira Omar was 32 when she was injured in a road traffic accident in 1991
after picking up her son Omar from school in the city of Al-Ain.
Omar survived -- and lived to see his mother awake again decades later in a hospital bed in Germany, - where
she had been transferred for medical care.
"I always believed that my mother would get better," Omar, now 32 himself,.
"Many doctors had told us not to expect much after being in a coma for 15 or 20 years,
but I would not accept that.
"This is all in God's hands, and
I never lost hope."
Omar said he traveled to Germany to be with his mother during her stay there, and
He rarely left her side.
She woke up in May, - but
her family chose to keep the news under wraps out of respect for her privacy,.
Now 60, Munira is in a stable condition and
she is now home in the UAE,
after being enrolled in a physical rehabilitation programme, with her family nearby, according to Omar.
"We wanted to make sure that she was in a stable condition - before
we went public to share our experience,".
"We felt like we needed to share the story
to give people -- going through the same or similar experiences -- hope."
