Arianna Hernández, a young Cuban mother from Tampa who survived a coma after multiple brain strokes, has shared her thoughts on the critical condition of Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger. The singer is currently hospitalized after being shot in the head.
In an Instagram live session, Arianna, affectionately known as La China, recounted her personal experience and expressed her disagreement with the idea of disconnecting the artist, emphasizing the importance of allowing him time to heal. "I want to talk about what happened to El Taiger to say don't disconnect him, because something similar happened to me. They wanted to disconnect me, and they did, but I was lucky enough to keep living. I believe he does not have brain death," she stated, recalling doctors' prognosis and questioning the claim of the artist's brain death.
"They told me I'd end up in a vegetative state, but I lived and recovered quite quickly," she added, using her own story as an example. "He will survive, he won't stay like this. They need to give him space. How can they disconnect him without knowing his condition? Look at me, I'm okay. I didn't end up as they said I would. I'm doing quite well," she insisted, remaining hopeful about El Taiger's recovery.
Now back home with her son, Arianna highlighted that medical diagnoses aren't always final and that El Taiger deserves a chance to fight for his life. "He has his family, his daughters, reasons to fight. He's a good person who deserves to live, but they need to give him time," she urged.
Arianna recounted that she was once told she had brain death and wouldn't survive, yet she made a miraculous recovery. "God is great, and they will help him. I was a miracle of God, and he can be too," she concluded.
During the live session, the young mother spoke about the tough months she endured and asked people to pray for the Cuban singer. "He will recover. I am an example; I'm doing quite well. Little by little, he'll get better and move forward," Arianna assured. Her testimony reminded many Cubans that miracles do happen. "You are living proof of that, as long as there's life, there's hope, and José Manuel Carvajal will live" or "You're a living example that miracles do exist," commented supporters to Arianna.
