Liputan6.com, Jakarta Jennifer Flewellen, a mom from Niles, Michigan, woke up from a nearly five-year coma. Hilariously, she woke up after her mother, Peggy Means, told her a joke!

Jennifer, 41, had been in a coma since a car crash in 2017. Her laughter marked the beginning of her recovery, and she's now working hard to regain speech and mobility.

Jennifer, 41, had been in a coma since a car crash in 2017. Her laughter marked the beginning of her recovery, and she's now working hard to regain speech and mobility.

In October, she achieved a significant milestone by participating in a senior night football celebration with her youngest son, Julian.

Even though she still needs help with many things, Jennifer has exceeded expectations in her recovery. Her family has started a GoFundMe campaign to support her rehabilitation.

Her story is considered rare by her physician, Dr. Ralph Wang, and she continues to make progress towards walking and spending more time with her sons.
