Woman wakes up from 7-month coma after doctors told her family she was dead 



- Kertisha Brabson, suffered from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a disease where the body fights its own brain cells The 31-year-old Ohio indigene went into coma for seven months as a result - Brabson was declared brain-dead and doctors pulled her life support but the unexpected happened in April 2019 From Ohio in the United States , Kertisha Brabson would be counting her blessing each day following a near-death experience after being in a coma for seven months. 31-year-old Brabson would not be alive today if it wasn’t for her mother who never lost hope that she would wake up again. 
Her mother, Kertease Williams, brought her to the hospital in September 2018 when she noticed something wrong with her. At the hospital, she was doing weird things such as reaching out for invisible things, talking to herself, and dancing without music before she had a seizure that put her into a coma. 


Kertease Williams, who has no doctor’s background and has never been to school for anything, did everything in her power to bring her daughter back. Doctors eventually found Kertisha was suffering from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, wherein the body fights its own brain cells. Williams confirms the doctor told her that her daughter was brain-dead and that was not easy finding out how to fix it. ''They told me she was brain-dead and pull the plug and all those things,'' Williams recounted. After moving to several hospitals, Kertisha was then brought to Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State. Dr Shraddha Mainali, a specialist in stroke and neurocritical care, who admitted that the mortality rate for her condition is above 60 percent, treated her.
