Danual Rutledge's family was told he might not wake up from a coma after he suffered a rare stroke following surgery in July. But he has defied all odds to return home.
Danual Rutledge has made a "miraculous" recovery, six months after suffering through a brain tumour, rare stroke and coma.abc.net.au/news/dad-makes-miraculous-recovery-after-coma-for-christmas/101798432Sitting at his dining table, surrounded by loving family, Danual Rutledge is getting ready to enjoy a peaceful Christmas — very different to the one he and his family were bracing for months ago.
"[My happy place] was at the beach, we backed the ute up, and there was no one else as far as you could see, and we were cooking sangas and having a swim." At the beginning of the ordeal, she was told by medical staff to bring family into see Danual, to possibly say their goodbyes. A big milestone was ticking off his goal, to make his wife and high school sweetheart a cup of tea by himself."It was lovely, it was a great tea," she said.
