Young Cuban Mother Discharged After Recovering from Coma in Tampa

The young Cuban woman, Arianna Hernández, diagnosed with a coma in Tampa after suffering a seizure and several strokes, has just been discharged from the hospital. Arianna, a mother of one, was released this week from the Melech Hospice House in Temple Terrace, Florida, where she had been admitted since March 28.

Known affectionately as "La China," she can now be seen in various videos shared on TikTok, appearing happy at home, dancing, and cooking with her family. "When no one believed in her, we did. God made it happen, Arianna could do it!" commented the author of the videos.

The young woman still has some difficulty walking. In one recording, she is seen strolling through a mall, being pushed in a wheelchair by her husband. Arianna was in a vegetative state for several days after suffering a series of medical complications. Although the hospital had given up on her, even disconnecting the ventilators that helped her breathe, she showed a miraculous improvement by early May, to the point where she was already speaking.

At that time, several videos were released showing her recovery, conversing with her husband about what she would like to eat, drinking cold water, and expressing words of gratitude while holding her son's hand. The determination of her family, especially her partner Jorge Luis Herrera, who never gave up on bringing her back, has worked the miracle of Arianna's healing.

Her case touched so many people that over $34,000 was raised in support of her son on the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe when it was believed her death was imminent. In early April, Arianna began to show slight improvement. An online video showed a specialist examining her reflexes and asking her questions, which she was able to answer correctly with her eyes.
