Mamma Mia-Toddler Wakes From Coma Singing
Updated : May 27, 2009
A toddler who was gravely ill shocked her family when she woke from a coma singing Abba song Mamma Mia.
Layla Towsey's family were told to say goodbye to her after she was struck down with meningitis and suffered a heart attack.
Mum Katy Towsey, 23, told the Daily Mirror: "We'd been preparing ourselves for bad news as the life support machine was keeping her alive.
"Even when doctors took her off life support and reduced the drugs she was on, we didn't know how badly disabled she would be.
"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."
VeryHappyPig quickly learned the word Mamma Mia was a statement of shock and surprise when holidaying in Italy and subsequently thinks young Layla couldn’t have picked a better song to wake up singing.
