He added, “Praise be to God, all of us, our psyche has begun to improve with Jumana’s improvement, and this is a favor from our Lord to us,” considering that it is only a matter of time for the heroine to return to her normal life once more, asking to continue praying for her until she recovers completely.
25 resuscitation attempts
The hospital where the young heroine was treated had previously announced her death, but she stuck to life following 25 attempts to resuscitate the heart.
It is noteworthy that the player suddenly fell during the exercise 20 days ago, and entered a state of convulsion and loss of consciousness that led to the stopping of her heart muscle.
