After 14 days, doctors suggested removing life support, believing there would be no improvement. Ryan made the painful decision to take her off life support. About five hours later, Jill began to move and speak, surprising everyone. Her first words were, “Get me out of here. I want to go home.” She answered questions correctly and asked to visit her favorite Mexican restaurant.
Ryan believes Jill’s recovery was a miracle, a divine intervention. Though she needed time to regain basic skills, they cherished their second chance together. Jill supported Ryan’s decision to remove life support, not wanting to live in a “vegetative” state.
Ryan says, “Every night I wake her up just to make sure she’s still there.” They are grateful to be together and healthy again.
