A Mother’s Love Sparks A Miracle, Daughter Wakes Up After 5 Years In Coma
February 19, 2024
Today’s good news story comes from Niles, Michigan.
In 2017, Jennifer Flewellen’s life took a drastic turn while driving to work. After dropping her kids off at school, she felt lightheaded and veered off the road, crashing into a pole. She ended up in a serious condition and was in a coma for five years.

Throughout this challenging time, Jennifer’s mother, Peggy Means, never lost hope for her daughter’s recovery. Doctor’s repeatedly told Peggy that Jennifer’s chances of waking up were slim and that even if she did awaken she would not be able to function.
“They encouraged me, by like day two or three to take her off [life support],” Means recalled. “I said, ‘No, not as of today, we’re not going to do that.’ And then each day, they kind of encouraged me more, and I’d say, ‘No, it’s in God’s hands.'”
But Peggy’s hope never wavered. Despite the odds, Peggy cared for Jennifer daily, maintaining a positive attitude and treating her as if she could hear.
“I’d tell her what the kids are doing, what we’ve been doing, and I tried to encourage her,” Peggy told GMA.
“For years I would hold her hands and say ‘Just squeeze my hand, Jenn. Squeeze my hand.”
But she never did.
