A Florida man is
celebrating after his pregnant wife woke up from her two-week coma to give birth
to their baby girl.
"From day one, none
of this was expected," Angel Quiles told local TV news station KTVU.
"I thought I was I was going to lose my wife. I thought I was going lose
my baby. And here we are celebrating the fact that the baby is born and Jenny
is doing a lot better today."
Quiles' wife, Jenny, was
struck by a tow truck October 15 as she crossed the street to attend a doctor's
appointment. Though Jenny successfully shielded her stomach from the impact,
she suffered a traumatic brain injury. She was 7 months pregnant at the time.
Doctors put the would-be
mom in a medically-induced coma and were making plans to perform a C-section
delivery in several weeks. Those plans were canceled when Jenny woke up after
19 days.
"She was in labor
and she was trying her hardest to let it be known," recalled Quiles.
Baby, Angel Noemi Quiles,
was born November 3 weighing 6 pounds. Her mother remains alert. "When
Jenny gets out of this I'm going to tell her thank you, thank you ten thousand
times. If it wasn't for her protecting the baby at the time, we wouldn't have
the baby or this conversation right now," Angel said.
Things remain tough even
though the Quiles situation is improving. Jenny is still in intensive care. He
also announced on a Go Fund Me page dedicated to Jenny that they are now
unemployed.
The page reads, "She
is out of work and [I am] also out of work due to being at her bedside at the
hospital day & night."
Still Quiles remains
optimistic about the future, "My hope is to see Jenny hold her baby girl
and do what moms do best," he said.
He thanked supporters who
have raised $21,173 for their family saying, "God Bless You all in
abundance."
