According to MirrorUK, one-year-old Marwa was hospitalized in September,
in an induced coma after suffering from a virus that caused severe
neurological disorders.
Against parent’s wishes, the doctors, citing “aggressive therapy”, wanted to disconnect the device that was keeping her alive.
The parents, from Algeria, started a petition on Facebook , “Not without my Marwa”, to help raise
funds to challenge their decision.
With over 70,000 signatures, the court ruled in favour of an “extension
of care” at La Timone hopsital, Marseille, for two months.
But doctors were insistent that they would fight to turn off the
respirator sooner – terminating her life – arguing that she will never
walk, eat, or breathe independently.
Just ten days later, Marwa woke.
“Her treatment continues, but we see daily progress, and it gives us great hope.
“When I talk to her, she hears my voice, she reacts, sometimes she smiles,” he told a local news site .
