A family in Florida is celebrating a miracle after a woman in a coma suddenly woke up to give birth.

Jenny Quiles was hit by a tow truck two weeks ago as she tried to cross the street to get to a doctor’s appointment. In the moments before impact, her motherly instincts kicked in. She shielded her belly, likely saving her baby girl.

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.
