text: A pregnant woman who went into a coma woke up to learn she gave birth to a baby boy. Sharista Giles of Sweetwater, Tennessee, was driving home from a concert in December with friends when a car accident sent her to the hospital with injuries so bad doctors believed she would never recover. The 20-year-old was five months pregnant at the time and in January doctors were forced to deliver the baby early, a little boy the family refers to as Baby L. And now, Giles has finally seen her newborn after waking up from her coma on Wednesday. Sharista Giles (above) of Sweetwater, Tennessee woke up on Wednesday after being in a coma for five months . Giles was five months pregnant (above) when she went into the coma, and a month later doctors were forced to deliver her son, who the family calls Baby L, who she saw for the first time Wednesday . Giles' family told ABC News that she opened her eyes, and soon began following her father's movements around the room. Then, her father showed her a photo of her son. 'He showed her a picture of her baby, and she followed the picture,' said her mother, Beverly. '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.' Baby L (above in utero) weighed just two pounds when he was born and though he is still in the neonatal intensive care unit he now weighs over six pounds . Giles (above) prognosis is still not known, but she has shocked doctors who believed she would not make it out of her coma or even live this long . Baby L meanwhile is doing well, but still in the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He was less than two pounds when he was born, but since then has been greatly improving and now weighs 6 pounds and 4 ounces. As for Giles, doctors are still not certain of her prognosis, but she has done far better than they ever expected when she was admitted last December. This is no surprise however to her family. 'We never gave up,' said her mother. 'She's fought this hard.'
