London, Mar 22 : Cancer-stricken Jade Goody has been in a coma-like state for 48 hours, it has emerged.

The former Big Brother star has courageously clung to life far longer than expected.

However, her close family feared she would not be in any state to see her beloved boys Bobby, five, and Freddie, four,

"She has not really been with it for the last 48 hours," News of the World quoted a source, as saying.

"She badly wants to see her kids on Mothers Day but hardly has any energy at all.

"Due to her medication and her worsening condition she has been drifting in and out for 48 hours and has essentially been in a coma-like state.

"A few days ago she was humming a little tune but she's hardly talking at all now. And at times she is completely out of it," the source added. (ANI)
