(SHOCKING) Music heals: Family credits Taylor Swift song with waking mother from a week-long coma, So magical
A woman from Missouri, who spent close to a week in a coma, expresses gratitude towards her family for serenading her with a Taylor Swift song, which she believes played a role in waking her up.
Angela Fisher was admitted to the hospital in late January for a colon dissection that resulted in a severe bleed, necessitating emergency surgery. However, upon awakening from surgery, she remained unresponsive.
“Everyone tells me I was on the brink of death,” Angela Fisher recounted.
For nearly seven days, Angela lay in a coma, with doctors advising her family to prepare for the worst – until a nurse in the intensive care unit offered a suggestion.
“Try making some noise. Anything,” urged Brenda Varner, Angela’s sister, recalling the nurse’s advice.
Deciding on Taylor Swift’s popular song “Shake It Off,” Angela’s family began singing it repeatedly, growing louder with each rendition, by her hospital bedside.
“She had a tear,” Varner recounted. “It was as if she was struggling, but we could sense that she was hearing us.”
That tear was followed by a blink – the first signs that Angela had emerged from her coma.
“We were ecstatic. ‘She blinked!’ we exclaimed,” said Amanda Fisher, Angela’s daughter.
Now on the path to recovery, Angela credits her family, along with divine intervention and the innovative ICU nurse who inspired her loved ones.
“When the doctors had given up and told my family to bid me farewell, she persevered. I’m here because of her,” Angela remarked. “Miracles do happen, and I’m grateful to be alive.”
Angela now jokes that “Shake It Off” will forever be ingrained in her mind.
“Well, ‘Shake It Off’ seems to have done the trick for me,” she chuckled.
Having been discharged from the hospital for approximately two weeks, Angela faces six more weeks of recovery.
