A MOTHER-of-two has defied doctors to make a miraculous recovery from a horror car smash.
Michelle Owens, who was a general practice doctor, was given little chance of survival after an accident near Beaudesert last June.
Family members were told her critical injuries meant there was an 80 per cent chance she would stay in a vegetated state.
Dr Owens received multiple head and brain injuries, a broken pelvis and collarbone, but last week the 37-year-old was back home in Stretton after three months in a coma and nine months in hospital.
Thanks to the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Dr Owens has regained her memory and taught herself to walk and talk again. She is still receiving physio, speech and occupational therapies.
“It’s wonderful to be home I love being a wife and mum again,” she said.
Ms Owens said she wanted to inspire others with similar injuries to fight on.
“If you are willing to work hard there is always hope and something to live for,” she said.
Zero and his ilk would have killed her given the chance.

Yes. In full force, this Obummercare bill will triage people like her right into the morgue.
People with brain injuries are routinely killed all across America. (See my profile page).
Praise God for this woman’s recovery and for getting the story out to the public.
So true. So inspiring.
Oops. Wasn’t done editing.
People with brain injuries are routinely killed all across America. (See my profile page). The attitudes don’t appear to be any better in New Zealand, Australia, or any other so-called civilized nation.
Praise God for this woman’s recovery and for getting the story out to the public.
