Rajasthan: Mother’s voice woke toddler from coma, say parents http://iexp.in/uEk163258
A comatose toddler, on ventilator for the past three weeks, regained consciousness on Sunday after reportedly hearing his mother’s recorded voice as part of a music therapy intervention.
When Kapil was brought to J K Lon’s paediatric hospital last week, he was battling for survival. Multiple ailments — high blood pressure, respiratory problems and brain haemorrhage — had pushed the two-and-a-half-year-old into a coma.
The music therapy intervention — in which his mother spoke to him in the local Dhundhari dialect of Jaipur — was a last ditch effort to restore the child’s cognitive abilities.
