โI went to wake Jill up, which is a miracle in itself as I never, ever, do that on Saturday mornings,โ he later recalled.
He called but she didnโt respond. Thatโs when Ryanโs pulse started to race. He knew something was not right. He immediately called emergency and performed CPR on his wife.
When paramedics arrived they immediately took her to the hospital, with Ryan driving behind it.
After medical checkup, they made a conclusion that Jill suffered a cardiac arrest.
She got a medical procedure done to stabilize her, while Ryan was waiting impatiently outside the ER.
When doctors came out to tell him an update, they finished with โpray for your wife.โ Ryan knew when someone tells you that itโs life and death. โWhen a doctor tells you, you need to start praying, I feel itโs about as serious as itโs going to get.โ
Soon after, they informed Ryan that his wife was in a coma.
He just couldnโt fathom the fact that his 31-year-old wife that was alive and well yesterday, now battles with life and death situationโฆ
During the two weeks, Jill was in a coma and got a lot of visitors praying that she would soon wake up and be well. But one day Jillโs cousin came with a Bible in his hand and read to Jill from the Bible for an hour.
He left the Bible to Ryan and told him to read any passages from it if he felt like it.
Ryan made it as a routine to read passages out loud to his wife with high hope that sheโd wake up soon.
After 11 days, Ryan went home to think about whether to wait for his life or put her off of life support as doctors suggested. Doctors were sure there would be no improvementโฆ
He knew that once they took her off life support, she would pass away shortly. On the 14th day he made the choice to take her off life support and let her goโฆ
About 5 hours when she was removed from life-support, Jill started to mumble and move. Ryan was heartbroken to be present on scene while she suffered and stepped out until she passed away.
He recalls the next moments clearly, โThe nurse came out and said, โI think you need to come in, sheโs talking.โโ
He went in expecting to have the final words as she enters the spiritual realm, but as he walked in he recalls the shock โI walked in and Jill was talking. First thing sheย saidย was, โGet me out of here. I want to go home.โโ
Ryan couldnโt process the situation, he shook his head in disbelief.
He thought she was just mumbling, but then he asked her about their petsโ names and few mental math questions, all of which she answered without an error.
She even asked to go to her favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. He then knew Jill wasnโt going to the spiritual worldโฆ she was coming back home with him.
Ryan was asked what brought his wife back and he replied back without hesitation: โGod. Divine intervention. I honestly feel that way.โ
It wasnโt as if Jill went back to normal the next day. She had to learn how to brush her teeth again and tie her shoe laces due to decline on some of her motor skills.
But after God gave them a second chance they made sure they would ALWAYS be next to each other, especially when they need it most.
Jill also supports his decision to take her off life support when she was in a coma, as she doesnโt want to spend her life as a โvegetable.โ
Ryan says: โthereโs still not a night that goes by that I donโt wake up. Iโll usually kick her and if she kicks me back, I know weโre OK.โ
We are so happy that both Ryan and Jill Finley are both well and next to each other at all times!
