WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A woman who has been in a coma for one month after being assaulted in San Francisco, Argentina's northern province of Cordoba, has woken up to feed her daughter when the girl told her she was hungry, the Daily Mail reported.

Maria Laura Ferreira, 42, was out of a month-long coma when her daughter sat next to her on the bed trying to wake her mother to tell her she was hungry.

Ferreira's awakening sparked the doctors. Two weeks before the awakening, she told her husband Martin Delgado that she was in danger of brain death, and even suggested that he donate her organs.

Delgado said his child's words were "very touching" as she could not understand that her mother was sick and not asleep.

"Now all the good things start, Ferreira will be able to be with her children again."

The couple have three children between the ages of 17 and 13.
