<p>Danijela Kovacevic gave birth to a baby girl in 2009 and went into a coma after contracting blood poisoning.<br />
The 25-year-old, from Indjija, in Vojvodina province, northern Serbia, gave birth to her daughter Marija in the city of Novi Sad in 2009.<br />
But the young mum ended up with blood poisoning from the inflammation, causing her to fall into a coma.</p>

But she astounded doctors when she awoke from her seven-year slumber – making her the longest survivor of being in that type of coma in the country.<br />
Heartwarming pictures show the young mum meeting her daughter for the very first time. Marija is now seven years old and, in one particularly heart-warming image, is seen cuddling her mother who appears to gaze back in wonder.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">It comes after the youngster kept an almost-constant vigil by her parent&#8217;s bedside.<br />
&#8216;After school, Marija is close to her mama every day,&#8217; a family friend says. &#8216;She comforts her, makes her laugh and does not give up the hope that she will touch her and embrace her.&#8217;</p>

Her doctors are optimistic about the young mother&#8217;s recovery. They say she is responding well to treatment</strong></h6>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Now, doctors in a German rehabilitation clinic, based in Pforzheim, say she has advanced to the point where she can hold a tablet and pen in her hand, as well as sit up and follow conversations.<br />
The progress is a result of extensive physical and speech therapy that stimulates brain cell function.<br />
Doctors say she is slowly responding to treatment and can now hold a tablet and pen in her hand as well as sit up and follow conversations.<br />
Serbia&#8217;s Republic Health Insurance Fund approved a three-month stay in the facility, but rejected further requests because &#8216;there is no adequate code of the disease&#8217;.<br />
As a result, her family are trying to inspire donations from well-wishers who can alleviate the financial burden.<br />
The family claim they needs a further $52,322 [£43,000] for the treatment to continue.</p>

<strong>Teen with life ahead of her:</strong> <strong>Danijela&#8217;s ordeal began when she developed blood poisoning during childbirth</strong></h6>
<p>Her dad, Djordje Kovacevic, said: “These are minor recoveries, but Danijela is much better than before.<br />
“She has put on weight, she is more aware and more alive. She reacts, smiles and also gets angry.”<br />
In a rehabilitation centre in Germany, Danijela is doing specialist physical exercises and speech therapies that stimulate brain function.</p>

<strong>Nearly a decade in a vegetative state did not rob the young mom of the will to live. She astounded doctors when she woke up from the seven-year coma</strong></h6>
</div>
</div>
<p>The family needs a further $52,300 [£43,000] for her treatment to continue.<br />
Her dad said: &#8220;The recovery of three months is really short. A man who breaks an arm needs more than three months of recovery, imagine how much time my daughter needs.<br />
&#8220;That is because you are teaching a kid to do certain things. She had very hard training.<br />
&#8220;She walked 800 metres and that is a big achievement.&#8221;</p>

Danijela&#8217;s family and friends are trying to raise money for her specialist treatment because the Serbian insurance does not cover the entire costs</strong></h6>
<p>Friends and family have started a collection for Danijela’s treatment, but he fears it will not be enough.<br />
Mr Kovacevic said: &#8220;They organised a competition in taekwondo and all the money they gathered was for Danijela’s recovery. They gave us 10,000 euros (£8,700), but we need 50,000 more.&#8221;</p>
