“The doctors were telling us there was nothing else they could do,” said Beverly Giles, 49, of Madisonville, Tenn. to ABC News.“They already gave up hope. We never gave up. She’s fought this hard.” — “He showed her a picture of her baby, and she followed the picture,” Giles said. “When he turned around to put it back on the bulletin board, she turned her neck, her whole head trying to follow and find the picture again.” h/t wpxi
