Girl Who Came Out Of Coma Meets Bruno Mars
An 11-year-old Cleveland-area girl who came out of a coma after listening to Bruno Mars songs throughout her recovery got to meet the singer that doctors say helped save her life.
Zumyah Thorpe had a private meeting with Mars before his concert in Cleveland this past weekend.
Doctors didn’t expect her to survive a brain injury from a car crash that killed her pregnant mother and two younger sisters last year.
Nurses at a Cleveland hospital played Mars’ music every night during her recovery.
Zumyah’s grandmother tells WKYC-TV in Cleveland that not long after coming out of the coma she started singing Mars’ hit song “Just The Way You Are.”
