Two years ago, policewoman Amelia Bannan from Argentina was riding in a police car when a crash left her with serious head trauma and a blood clot in her brain, The Sun reported. Bannan was almost six months pregnant at the time.

But the expecting mother was the worse for wear in a coma. Little did the family know that coma wouldn’t end for months.

Her baby, Santino, was delivered on Christmas Eve, weighing just over 4 pounds. The family took care of the newborn for 3 more months while visiting Santino’s mom every day.

Despite Amelia’s traumatic injuries, the family didn’t give up hope that she would wake up, The Sun reported. Then one day, the young policewoman started talking—according to family, she said “yes, yes.”

Reminds me of this...

A woman fell into a coma and later gave birth to twins; a boy and a girl.

Upon regaining consciousness, her doctors told her that the boy and girl were both healthy and that her brother had named them for her.

"Oh no! My brother is an idiot - how could this have happened... well, what are their names?"

"The girl's name is Denise", said her doctor.

"Oh that's not so bad", replied the mom, "what's the boy's name?"

"Denephew", the doctor told her.

Have you ever seen the movie The Other Side Of Darkness?

It’s about this woman, in a coma.

I didn’t realize you could come out of a coma.

Or that a baby could, either.
