Mother-of-two left brain-dead from a heart attack makes a 'miraculous' recovery after she woke up when her life support was unplugged
Only a few moments after Karl De Leeuw took his near brain-dead wife, Michele off life support, she automatically started breathing herself. And it has been four months since then, but Michele has kept improving her condition, being home and healthy now. It was back in August when Michele suffered a heart attack, and by the time she got to the hospital, doctors thought she only had five percent brain function. They put her on life support, but as soon as the support was turned off, she started breathing all on her own, as reported.
It was quite a miracle, for sure, though Michele did not regain consciousness after starting to breathe without any external support. Doctors, at the time, did not want Karl to raise his hopes too high, and so they made him understand that there might be a chance that even though she was breathing, Michele might not wake up after all.
