Woman wakes up after 27 years in coma

Omar described how his mother was left untreated for hours because the family was unable to call for help before she was transferred to a clinic in London Dailymail said.

There, doctors diagnosed a vegetative state, meaning she was completely unresponsive but able to feel pain.

She was transferred back to the UAE and put on a ventilator and feeding tube to keep her alive, spending the next few decades hooked up to machines.

But in April 2017, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, heard of her case and gave her family a grant for treatment.

Ms Abdulla was flown to Germany where she underwent surgeries to repair her muscles while being given medication to improve her sleep patterns.

Around a year later she began making strange sounds, and within three days she called out to Omar using his name.

”It was her! She was calling my name, I was flying with joy; for years I have dreamt of this moment, and my name was the first word she said,” he said.

Now, she is able to call the names of her loved ones, recite prayers and hold conversations with people.

A medical report issued from Mafraq Hospital last month says that she is ”currently able to communicate with self and surrounding in a very reasonable manner especially in familiar situations.”

However, the report adds that she still needs regular physiotherapy to treat issues with her muscles.
