When This Boy Woke up From a 3-Year Coma, He Told Doctors Something Very Frightening About His Mum

“This is the story of a young boy who fell into a coma. Three years later, he finally came out of it. However, doctors couldn’t believe the terrifying thing he told them about his mom.

Gabrielle Rodriguez lived happily with his parents in the city of Madrid, Spain. He was an intelligent boy who was doing well at school. He never had to struggle for anything because his parents loved and cared for him. Life was good for him until one awful night.

Dad called, evening, he woke up with a terrible headache that kept him awake throughout the night. When it was morning, his parents took him to the hospital for treatment, but he didn’t get any better. A few days later, the boy could no longer walk by himself as his limbs started to bend. The doctors told his parents that he was suffering from a severe disorder that affected his nervous system. Sadly, they couldn’t stop his condition from getting worse.

Days passed, and the boy could no longer move. He was gradually losing consciousness. This made his parents very worried. Every day, his mother, Lucia, cried her eyes out, not knowing what would happen to her only child. On the other hand, despite the grief that also overwhelmed his father, the man kept visiting several hospitals every week and looked for other treatment options for his son. However, he couldn’t find any solution.

A few months went by, and Gabrielle had gone into a coma. The strange illness had taken over his entire body. The eight-year-old was bedridden with no hope of recovering soon. Doctors confirmed he might never wake up again. The news overwhelmed his parents; they couldn’t bear the pain of seeing their only son lifeless in a bed.

Two and a half years passed, and the boy was still in a vegetative state. However, despite his illness, his father Fernando never gave up on him. The man kept on visiting his child and talking to him. He hoped his boy would wake up someday. But that wasn’t the same for his mother. The mother became more depressed with each passing day. In her heart, she was really bitter about her son’s predicament. She felt his sickness had deprived them of the happiness they once experienced as a family. Her husband no longer spent much time with her.

One particular morning, she went into her son’s emergency room. After staring at him with disgust written all over her face, she whispered some cruel words to her son. “Since you got sick, you have been a hindrance in our lives. I hope you stop breathing one day. I hope it will be soon because I can’t bear seeing how your father goes out of his way for you and leaves me aside. He got married to me and not to you.”

From that day, she stopped visiting him at the hospital. The pain she felt before had now turned to hatred and disgust. At some point, she lost the courage to keep on living and tried to end her life several times. As a result, her husband had to take her to the therapist because she was mentally ill. After a few months, she was declared healthy again, and Fernando and his wife got their lives back on track. The only thing that was missing was their son. The couple knew there was nothing they could do about him other than hope for a miracle.

They returned to their jobs and placed their son in the care of the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Because he had been in a coma for so long, some people stated that he would never wake up again. They started talking about pulling him off life support, but all those discussions came to an end when a cleaner noticed something that left her stunned.

She realized the boy had a slight expression on his face. It felt like he wanted to say something to her. Not knowing what really was happening, she approached him. All of a sudden, he moved his head and fingers. Surprised, the woman screamed at the top of her voice and informed the doctors and nurses about what she had just witnessed.

For three long years, the boy hadn’t been able to move any part of his body or eat. That same evening, his parents went to the hospital. Without hesitation, they went to their son’s room and realized he was partially conscious. His parents couldn’t hide their joy. They were delighted that after three depressing years, there was hope their son would recover from his coma.

Fernando held his son’s hand and said, “My little warrior, we’ve missed you. We’re happy that you didn’t give up on life. Don’t worry; you’ll be fine soon. We’ll love you very much.” As soon as he said those words, his son squeezed his hand, and tears came streaming down his face. Everyone at the hospital was surprised, and the man started crying without even realizing it.

After kissing his son goodbye, he left the hospital with his wife. The couple were thrilled that their son would soon be home. But sometimes, life doesn’t go as planned. Unfortunately, days turned into weeks, and Gabrielle had still not regained full consciousness. According to the doctor’s report, he was supposed to be out of the coma within a few days. His parents were concerned, and they became depressed again.

Fernando didn’t know what to do next. He had already started making plans for his son’s arrival at home. Nevertheless, he refused to give up on his boy. He made sure he kept visiting him whenever he was less busy. “God, please save my son. He’s my only child, and I can’t afford to lose him. I can no longer bear seeing him unconscious. Please let him wake up,” the troubled man said one evening while with his son at the hospital.

Unfortunately, two months went by, and nothing had changed. Gabrielle’s health had still not improved. But one morning, fortune smiled on the Rodriguez family. It was on a Saturday. Fernando and his wife were busy watering the garden in their house. All of a sudden, the man’s phone rang. It was a call from the hospital. Fernando picked up the call, not knowing what to expect.

Just then, the doctor informed that their son was now stable. The couple stopped what they were doing and drove down to the hospital. Just as they got into their son’s room, they couldn’t believe it when they saw their little boy. He had fully regained consciousness. As you can imagine, they were over the moon. It had been over three years since they last saw him conscious and awake.

A few minutes after they arrived at the hospital, the doctor sat him up and talked to him. However, they couldn’t believe his first few words. When the young lad saw his mom, he became agitated and started yelling until she was made to step out of the room. After she’d left, he said, “Please take her away from me. She never wanted me to wake up. She told me she hoped I would stop breathing someday. I don’t want to see her.”

When she was told what her son had said, she was so embarrassed and in tears. The woman couldn’t hold back her tears. Lucia eventually went back to her son’s room. She stood at his door and began begging for forgiveness. “Son, I’m sorry for not being a good mother. I truly love you, and I regret saying those ill words to you that day. Please forgive me. Give me another chance to correct my mistakes,” said the woman, who was on her knees.

Gabrielle, who was now in tears, held his mother’s hand and said, “Mom, all the time I heard and saw everyone around me, Dad would talk to me for hours and hold my hands. He gave me courage. I saw how unhappy you and Dad were, but it broke my heart that you gave up on me.”

The woman was overwhelmed after hearing what her son said. However, it didn’t take him long to forgive his mother. Gabrielle told her he saw all she went through and wouldn’t judge her by the harsh words she said to him.

The young boy thanked his father for supporting him throughout the period he was in a coma. He told them that without his affection, he wouldn’t have woken up. In between tears, the man embraced his son and wife. Finally, he had his family back together again.

This story teaches one valuable lesson: no matter how hard life gets, we should never give up because there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.
