After 11 days of Jill being in a coma, Ryan went home to be by himself for a little while. He debated about whether to pull Jill off of life support as the doctors were suggesting. Doctors believed there would be no improvement in her condition and advised to take her off of life support.

He knew the fact that it meant Jill might pass away soon after, but the next day he told doctors to go ahead and pull the plug on his wife. On the 14th day of her coma, life support was withdrawn from her.

About 5 hours after she was removed from life-support, Jill started to move and mumble. Ryan was unable to watch what he thought were his vibrant wife’s last moments and stepped out into the waiting area till she passed.

He recalls the next moments clearly, “The nurse came out and said, ‘I think you need to come in, she’s talking.’”

He went in expecting to have a final conversation with his wife. He recalls, “I walked in and Jill was talking. First thing she said was, ‘Get me out of here. I want to go home.’”

Ryan was shocked but unsure whether it was just lucid muttering and hence proceeded to pepper her with questions she could only answer if she was fully there. He asked her their pets’ names and a few mental math questions, all of which she answered correctly. She even asked to go to her favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Jill later said she did not remember the coma, all she felt was that she had been away for some time and had then come back. In an interview, Ryan was asked what he thought brought his wife back, he replied back immediately saying, “God. Divine intervention. I honestly feel that way.”

Not everything went back the way it was after Jill had woken up. She had to relearn some of her motor skills like brushing her teeth or tying her shoe laces all from scratch.

The couple takes this as a second chance at life and their relationship and ensures they are always by one another’s side. As for Jill, she says Ryan made the right call by removing her from life support since she would not want to spend her life as a “vegetable.”

The anxiety and fear from the entire episode still remain for Ryan, he says he always makes sure she is still there. He says, “there’s still not a night that goes by that I don’t wake up. I’ll usually kick her and if she kicks me back, I know we’re OK.”

Sometimes life gives you a second chance as you would never believe! We are so happy that both Ryan and Jill Finley are doing well.
