Michigan Mom Spends First Mother’s Day at Home with Her Kids Since Waking Up from a 5-Year Coma


Jennifer Flewellen, who was in coma for five years after a car crash in 2017, woke up in 2022 and left the hospital in 2024 — in time to spend her first Mother's Day at home with her three kids and her own mom since the crash.

Speaking with CBS News on May 10, Flewellen's mom Peggy Means opened up about how she never wanted to take her daughter off of life support — despite doctors telling her that “she's not gonna wake up.” Asked whether she questioned her decision to keep Flewellen on life support, Means told the outlet that even after her daughter had been in a coma for years, she still never gave up hope that she could make a recovery. In October 2023, Flewellen reached another big milestone in her recovery journey when she attended senior night football celebration at her son's high school.
