Making a decision of whether someone you love to the core should be taken off life support when the prognosis are dull must be the toughest decision one could ever make.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ryan Finley is a man who was forced to make such a decision after his wife Jill ended up in coma.<\/p>\n

It was Ryan who found her unresponsive and not breathing. He rushed towards her and did all in his power to help her regain her consciousness until paramedics arrived. He even performed CPR and prayed for a positive outcome although he knew the chances were slim.<\/p>\n

Paramedics managed to get Jill back to life, but her heart was weak and her breathing was slow. She was rushed to the Oklahoma Heart Hospital and placed in a suit that lowered her temperature to minimize the damage to her oxygen-starved brain. Unfortunately, she sunk into coma.<\/p>\n

Ryan prayed every day. He never lost hope, but days turned into weeks and he was told that Jill\u2019s chances were equal to none. He was then asked to consider doctors switch her off life support.<\/p>\n

He wrote about that day in his diary and his words are heart-breaking, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday could be the worst day of my life. I essentially have to decide whether or not she will die or not,\u201d Ryan wrote, according to\u00a0TODAY<\/em>. He tried to put himself in Jill\u2019s place and believed she wouldn\u2019t want to live her life like that so he made the call.<\/p>\n

The entire family said their goodbyes, and the moment the machine was turned off, Jill was still there. Doctors explained that she wouldn\u2019t die right away as she was going through the \u201clast rally.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment, Jill started mumbling. To the disbelief of her husband, who was experiencing immense heartbreak, she told him to get her out of there and take her to Melting Pot or Ted\u2019s \u2013 two of her favorite Mexican restaurants.<\/p>\n

Ryan knew his loved one would make it, no matter how crazy that sounded. And he was right. Jill breathed on her own and went through a heart surgery and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the time she spent in coma, Jill explained that she didn\u2019t remember anything but had issues with her short-term memory and pronouncing certain words. Otherwise, she felt fine and was ready to grab this second chance God has given to her.<\/p>\n
