Girl in Coma Woke Up Singing ABBA Song http://www.neatorama.com/2009/05/26/mamma-mia-girl-in-coma-woke-up-singing-abba-song/ http://www.neatorama.com/2009/05/26/mamma-mia-girl-in-coma-woke-up-singing-abba-song/#comments Tue, 26 May 2009 17:18:15 +0000 Alex http://www.neatorama.com/2009/05/26/mamma-mia-girl-in-coma-woke-up-singing-abba-song/ I’ve always liked ABBA, and now I like ‘em even more because apparently their music can miraculously awaken someone from a coma!

Here’s the story of how 3-year-old Layla Towsey woke up from a meningitis coma, singing Mamma Mia:

Ms Towsey [...] , said: "Before they put her in the ambulance we were told to give her a kiss goodbye – it was an awful moment."

Layla was also diagnosed with meningococcal septicaemia and the family prepared themselves for the worst as she lay in intensive care.

Ms Towsey said: "But on the Sunday morning I could hear her singing Mamma Mia quietly. I couldn’t believe it.

"I knew immediately she was going to be OK."
