Mom Refused to Give up on Daughter in a Coma and Her Love Led to a Miracle 5 Years Later
March 25, 2024
Peggy Means' unwavering love for her daughter, Jennifer Flewellen, shattered the boundaries of impossibility and breathed life into the darkest moments. Peggy refused to give up on her daughter, who was in a coma, and her love led to a miracle five years later.
In the realm of medical miracles, stories of hope against overwhelming odds often stand as testaments to the resilience of the human spirit in God’s hands. Yet, few narratives rival the astonishing tale of Jennifer Flewellen, whose emergence from a coma after five years defied medical expectations and left her loved ones awestruck.

Jennifer Flewellen's Accident
In September 2017, Jennifer's life took a tragic turn when a car accident left her in a medically induced coma. She had called her mother and told her she was feeling light-headed after she dropped her three sons off at school before she lost consciousness and drove into a pole. This tragic moment turned into a five-year journey.
For five long years, her devoted mother, Peggy Means, kept vigil by her bedside, unwavering in her faith and love. Despite doctors' grim prognoses and the passage of time, Peggy clung to hope, believing in the power of prayer and the promise of miracles. The odds were stacked against Jenniffer, with just 2% to 3% of patients recovering from a coma.
Jennifer Wakes Up
"I'd say, 'It's very easy to be negative, but we have no room for negativity,'" Peggy recalled, reflecting on the relentless doubts she faced during Jennifer's coma. She battled not only to have faith in her daughter but also for the medical staff to believe in miracles, too. Staff constantly told her to let Jennifer go. But her unwavering resolve to trust God's plan sustained her through the darkest days.
Then, in a breathtaking turn of events, Jennifer stirred from her deep slumber. It began with a laugh—a moment of unexpected joy that shattered the silence of her unconscious state. Peggy, overwhelmed with disbelief and gratitude, captured the miraculous moment on her phone, a tangible testament to the divine intervention that defied all logic.

Peggy Witnessed The Hand of God
As Jennifer's moments of awareness grew longer, Peggy's faith only deepened. She sought therapies and treatments, advocating tirelessly for her daughter's recovery. And with each small victory—a whispered word, a shared memory—Peggy witnessed the hand of God at work, breathing new life into Jennifer's once-dormant body and spirit.
In a world where skepticism often eclipses belief, Jennifer's miraculous awakening stands as a beacon of hope—a reminder that God is the God of miracles, capable of turning despair into triumph and impossibility into possibility. As Jennifer continues her recovery journey, Peggy remains steadfast in her conviction that love, faith, and the power of prayer can conquer even the most insurmountable obstacles.
We thank our heavenly father for the gift of mothers, vessels of fierce love, and unwavering hope. We find refuge and strength in their tender embrace, for their love knows no bounds, reaching depths beyond comprehension. Mothers embody the essence of hope, believing in miracles when all seems lost and illuminating the darkest paths with the light of faith.
