Ryan Finley faced the heart-wrenching decision of whether to take his wife, Jill, off life support after she was placed in a coma following a medical emergency.

After finding her unresponsive, Ryan performed CPR and prayed for a miracle. Jill was revived but her chances of survival were slim, and doctors suggested switching off life support. Ryan, struggling with the decision, wrote in his diary, “I essentially have to decide whether or not she will die.” He decided that Jill wouldn’t want to live this way.

The family said their goodbyes, but moments after the machines were turned off, Jill began mumbling, asking to be taken to her favorite Mexican restaurants. Miraculously, she started breathing on her own and underwent heart surgery and rehabilitation.

Jill later shared that she didn’t remember the coma but was thankful for her second chance at life. The couple cherishes every moment together now, more than ever before.
