31-year-old Kertisha Brabson woke up from a coma seven months after her family members were told to ‘pull the plug.
’
The mother-of-two from Ohio was pronounced ‘brain dead’ by doctors who couldn’t give a proper diagnosis.
However, she managed to make a full recovery after her mother sought a specialist who finally diagnosed her anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a condition where the antibodies of the body attack brain cells.
In an interview with WBNS, Brabson said her ordeal started in September 2018 when she suffered a seizure. Before the seizure, the mother-of-two was taken to a hospital where she was observed reaching for things that didn’t exist, speaking in jumbled sentences, and also dancing.
Doctors couldn’t give proper diagnosis and told her family that she was ‘brain-dead’ and to ‘pull the plug.’
Medics eventually discovered that the 31-year-old had anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
“Something had taken over and ruining my daughter. I just don’t know what,” Williams said to WBNS.
“We were going to keep moving her because once I saw the doctors scratching their heads that clearly let me know they gave up and they don’t know what’s going on with her.
“Every decision that I made was because she got two little people that was depending on their mother to come home and that was her kids.”
Brabson, who was having up to 20 seizures a day, was transferred to Ohio State’s Brain and Spinal Hospital.
When she woke up, she thought it was still September 2018.
Describing the miraculous moment Williams discovered her daughter finally woke up, she said: “He [a doctor] said well, she’s woke up. Oh, my goodness, we just jumped up and down and screamed and nobody slept that morning.”
They said they are extremely grateful for the doctors, and Brabson said she owes them her life.
