Woman who falls into a coma and his husband helping her

I’m looking for a TV drama about a woman who falls into a coma due to an illness. She has a husband and a little daughter. The plot focuses on the husband’s struggle to help his wife recover. I remember a scene where the man comes to the hospital with the little girl, and she’s holding a piece of cardboard on which she’s written in block letters: “Mom, I love you.” The woman is unconscious for practically the entire movie, but the ending offers hope, as she is moved to another room because her condition is improving. The movie is probably from the late 1980s, because I watched it sometime in 1995 (?). Unfortunately, the filters on IMDb didn’t turn up anything.
