What did the ice block do to her? She fought for her life for 13 consecutive years
Lonely snowflakes slowly descended to the ground, and the snow underfoot creaked in the freezing February air. Milana walked past a high-rise where workers were clearing snow and ice from the roof, with no barriers or warning signs in sight. Suddenly, a huge block of ice fell from the roof with tremendous force and struck Milana, shattering her skull and embedding icy shards into her brain. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, and doctors were uncertain whether she would survive the night.
But the next morning came, and Milana was still alive, giving her loved ones a glimmer of hope. However, the injuries were so severe that the doctors predicted she would be attached to life support for the rest of her life. Milana's boyfriend did everything in his power to raise the funds needed for her rehabilitation, which was recommended to take place at a German clinic, but the cost was enormous.
At the time, Milana was in a coma and remained in a vegetative state for eight months. Her awakening from this state was a true miracle. For six long years, Milana fought for her life, spending many months at the German clinic relearning how to move and speak. The compensation she won in court was used for her treatment, and her friends and father, who worked nights as a taxi driver, helped her with her financial troubles.
Disability, severe pain, and numerous chronic pathologies were just some of the challenges Milana had to endure. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer, but doctors were hesitant to treat it because the tumor did not grow. Milana continued her rehabilitation, but her body suddenly failed again, and she fell back into a coma. She had to relearn everything once again: how to walk, eat, and speak.
The year 2022 was critical for Milana. She was constantly ill, her kidneys were barely functioning, and the epilepsy medication caused her to stop recognizing and speaking with her loved ones. In the summer, she was hospitalized with COVID and fluid in her lungs, By winter, she had become extremely weak. She was hospitalized once again, but this time, she has not returned home. Milana passed away in February 2023.
Her husband, who devotedly fought for his beloved for several years, still could not stand the load and left a few years ago. The public utility worker, who was guilty of the tragedy, was sentenced to six months of probation.
