Eight-time Grammy Award winner Adele can happily add miracle-worker to her resume, after her hit single "Rolling in the Deep" woke a seven-year-old British girl from a coma.
On April 13, Charlotte Neve suffered a brain hemorrhage, and was rushed to Leeds hospital, where she underwent two operations. When she slipped into a coma, doctors informed her mother Leila, 31, that she was not expected to survive. Then, miraculously, after lying comatose for a week, Adele's hit single came on the hospital radio, and Leila, recalling her daughter's fondness for the tune, sang along. To the amazement of her doctors, Charlotte broke into a smile.
"Charlotte started smiling, and I couldn't believe it," Leila told the Telegraph. "It was the first time she had reacted to anything since the hemorrhage. The nurses were astounded and told me to keep singing, and she smiled again. The nurses said it was like I 'unlocked her' and from that day she started getting better and better."
Several days later, she began talking, and was even able to get out of her hospital bed. Charlotte is now recovering at home, where she is learning to walk and talk again, has returned to school, and has even taken up dance classes again, all thanks to Adele's song.
"A day or two after the Adele incident ... she literally went from smiling and being giddy to standing up in bed," she continued. "It was a miracle."
And the rock I put on the front porch has prevented any and all polar bear attacks and global-killer meteor strikes...

When I was in the hospital, they couldn’t wake me up until my husband came in and said he would do all the dishes, I said sure you will.
Well, it is a pretty cool song
then she said she’d rather be in a coma.

You use a rock for that? I find a conch shell works easily as well.
That’s half the story. For every one it brings out of a coma, it puts ten into a coma.
LOL. And her first words were “What is this crap? Its horrible.”
(When I was in the hospital, they couldnt wake me up until my husband came in and said he would do all the dishes, I said sure you will.)
LOL! You ladies just have to have the last word, even when in a coma!

What’s the song, I’d like to play it for a few people I know?!
You got that right; especially when hubby is not telling the truth I don’t think I was in a coma. Just a lot of medicine to prevent seizures.
The important point is, here’s a child who survived socialist “medical care”. If singer Adele helped that cause, then more power to her!
Staff Sgt Angie Johnson was robbed on The Voice... but then again..she didn’t sing Adele’s song on The Voice
