A woman has given birth to a healthy baby despite being in coma for more than 10 weeks. Doctors performed a cesarean section on the 39-year-old Santa Cruz woman on Thursday and the woman gave birth to a healthy boy. The baby got a first view of the world in West Nathaniel Lande at 10:56 am. The weight of the baby is 5 pounds 9 ounces.

Brian Lande, Carleton's husband, said he couldn't have asked for anything more from God; he is really happy that his boy is in good health. While the birth of baby boy brought him immense relief and joy, Lande said that he is feeling bad for Melissa who is still not able to see her boy.

Carleton went into coma after she was rushed to hospital for an emergency surgery to remove a large brain tumor.

Lande said he is optimistic one day Carleton would be able to overcome her condition. "I want her to know she did an amazing job, and she loved the baby hard for two months. I'm so grateful to her and I miss her. We can now work on getting her to wake up and get back us and be a mom", he said.

A Facebook community page is intended to raise funds for the family. Carleton was newly married and pregnant and the day she had to give birth to the baby was supposed to be the happiest day of her life but destiny had other plans for her. Things changed after she was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. And after a few months after a massive seizure, she was unable to move, speak, or even open her eyes.

Lande said this morning she managed to open her eyes and hold her hand and move it to her belly where the baby was kicking.
